NARRATIVE

I am 56 years of age and currently live in southwest arizona where I moved to some 27 years ago.  In the year 1965 I was living in southeastern Pennsylvania in a small suburb town 35 miles west of Philadelphia called Newtown square,  in those days i had taken a part time job after school in a new music store,  i got done work about 5 pm  , i was standing on a small stone wall outside the store waiting for my mother to pick me up.   i remember  i was facing east  when over my  right shoulder i heard  what seemed to be that of a jet engine or a very roaring fire overhead,  when i looked up  i saw a large very low flaming object  moving  in a northwesterly direction  i could hear  it  burning through  the air and could easliy see  the flames whipping off the the back of it  i remember thinking it looked like a flaming ice cream cone on its side the way the flames looked fanning around from the front of it  and meeting in the back of it  i remember  there seemed to be some kind of a nipple shaped object on the front of it kinda like  whata bell has,  the object kept going in the direction  until it had passed over the buildings and wasnt outta sight , while seeing it i started yelling to the various people on the street to look at that thing i fell back wards off the wall on my butt while i watched it go out of sight ,again it was very low ,moving slow,  not like a meteor  which moves fast , i could easliy see the flames and hear it  . my mom picked me up and i told her about it   when i got home  i called the local nike sight to report what i saw and ask about it  as usual noone new nothing. 
as the years passed i never forgot what i saw in fact i can still see it to this day  but never heard anything about it until  in 1990     on the tv show unsolved mysteries the  story popped up   then again just a few years ago on  bryant gumbles special, this is a true story  and id swear on a stack of bibles   as to what i saw  , also  that night the sky was still in thetwilight stage  and i remember it as being unusualy warm for that time of the year as i remember now, that christmas season  was in the 50 degree range.
Witness may have been witness to the object, which caused the Kecksburg Incident.  That incident occurred on December 09, 1965.  We have amended the date above, to reflect that possibility.  PD
