In November 1974, a quiet town in northeastern Pennsylvania became the center of one of the most unusual UFO reports of the decade. Witnesses described a glowing object descending into a mining pond, police responded to the scene, and by morning thousands had gathered to see what was happening.

In this episode, we examine the timeline, the witnesses, the investigation, and the explanation that followed — before deciding whether this is a mostly true alien story or not.
