l '. ,
Over the past number o f years a lo~ has been Jritten about a
cra s h of an obj@ct at KecJc:sburg, Penns . on." Dec.9, 1965, a nd the
m~vement of the recovered object to WPAFB. ~
\
In the Sept.1993 issue of Qmt!.i Mr. James Oberg .~ hinted· that
the c~uoe of the crash wac thG SOv1et CO£mO$ - 96 probe . Follow i n~
my diocloliOure that Dr . Eric Walker , former ' President of Penn.
State Unive~sity, and former high ranking bovernment offic i al
involved with the UFO situation from Lhe s't.art . had rusned to the
Ked:.sbllrg crash site - Mr . Oberg again hin.ted .tholt '.-io.lkor
presence was ir:c.icative of the cra:'lh of CoomoD-96. .
Howev er ol.!!:'icg thl!;! i nr.ernet debate, re l ated t o Mr. Ober~' s
theory, Mr . Oberg c hose t o reltldin silenl!, except t.o s end me a
per!Onal E-mail ques tioning wh y I would t.('us t Soviet statements
o n Cosmos - 96. Mr . ObeL'g chose r;o l .... a.ve the defence o f his
POsition to TRW physic i st Dr. Michael Hofmeister, who
unfoL·tullately was 111 - prepa::-ed to defend Mr . Oberg ' s theory . Dr .
Ho f meister fina l ly admitted t hat he had never even read Mr .
Oberg's Omni article outlinino the theory. '
James Oberg has always been described as an exper~ on the Soviet
Space Prog ram , and es a h~rd - line UPO eceptic. He has been vQry
vocal about:. the accuracy o f his in f ontt3t ion. · • I ' VQ' bQQn wai tl.ng , •
~ames Oberg on ce aaid , "for an u fonut to describe a f actual error
or checkllble counter - example t o gtuff I've,: been. publ ishing since

Bec,au!!Ie o f these th in~e IMn), cheoe to accept Oberg Cosmos-9b
theory without checking . Because of Mr. Ober g f s outspoken
t,'onfidenc e in his facts concerning UFOs, i '!- seemed st['ange that
Mr . Oberg chose t o s tay out O[ the deren c~ o~ his pet theory
relating to the Kecksburg crasb, leaving it for others no~ as
smart as hims e lf to defend.
In preperation for a paper on the Kecksburg crash , I came a c rODS
a number of new pieces of infonl',a tion . .a.tno'ng those wa.s an i tem
that might explain why Mr . Obe rg has been so silent about his
Cosmos - 96 theory so proudly displayed to t:.he wor l d' in 1993. The
quote i9 from David Templeton ' s special inveStigat.ion into t.he
KElcksburq crash called *Th@ Uninvited" and! writ.ten up i n the
Pittcburg Press newpaper June 19 , 1991 . The' qUote speaks for
