The Johnson White House and the Kecksburg Pennsylvania UFO Crash
During an April 2003 visit to the Lyndon Johnson library in Austin Texas; I spent a week looking
at the possible White House UFO connection to the 1965 power blackout in the northeast, and
the role of the Johnson White House in the crash of an object in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. I
knew the Kecksburg search would be the most important item to find in the 44 million pages of
Johnson White House files, if it was there.
Based on information supplied by Kecksburg UFO crash expert Stan Gordon and
journalist/researcher Leslie Kean I was looking for information that would support stories,
showing the attendance of such groups as NASA (now being sued by the Coalition for Freedom
of Information for their Kecksburg records), NORAD, army, air force, and the Office of
Emergency Planning at the crash site.
My library research involved checking the movements of the president and key White House
officials during the day of the rumored UFO recovery, and in the days just after.
The Kecksburg crash occurred around dinnertime on Thursday December 9, 1965. At the time
of crash President Johnson was at his White House ranch outside of Austin, Texas. There was
no significant call recorded at the time of the crash. In fact, at the time of the impact in
Pennsylvania the president was taking his afternoon nap.
