Did Aliens Really Visit This Small Town in 1974?

Was it a UFO? A meteor? A Russian satellite? The Carbondale UFO incident of November 9, 1974, remains one of Pennsylvania’s most debated mysteries. Witnesses recall a glowing object streaking across the sky before plunging into a pond near Russell Park. Police dismissed it as a prank involving a lantern, but thousands of spectators, federal agents, and even a scuba diver were involved in the investigation.

👀 Eyewitness Testimonies:
🔹 Locals describe seeing a bright, tube-like craft with flashing green and red lights.
🔹 A flatbed truck was reportedly seen transporting a mysterious, tarp-covered object.
🔹 Photographs from that night may reveal classified details after 50 years of secrecy.
