In 1965 a russian satalite crashed landed in Kecksburg PA. A few locals saw the downed satalite and the Cyrillic writing on the outside and the red
glow of the heated metal and thought it alien in origin.
The USAF and other agencies tracked the decent of the satalite as it fell through the atmosphere. Shortly after the crash USAF personel showed up in
Kecksburg and sealed off the area and retrieved the satalite. The event as hushed up as much as possible in hopes the russians would not know the US
had retrieved a down Russian satalite.
Ove the last 40 years the stories of the event have been embelished by witness and others to create a description of a alien craft. While the
satalight was acorn shaped it was covered in Cyrillic characters not "alien heiroglyphs", it did suffer damage in the impacts, and it didn't give
off any radiation.
Hope this helps.
