Invasion on Chesnut Ridge with Seth Breedlove (SITS CLASSIC)

Summary

Documentary filmmaker Seth Breedlove of Small Town Monsters joins Ryan Sprague to discuss his film Invasion on Chestnut Ridge, which explores a stretch of southwestern Pennsylvania where UFOs, Bigfoot, Thunderbirds, and other strange phenomena are reported with unusual frequency. The conversation covers the 1965 Kecksburg UFO crash, the 1973 Uniontown Bigfoot-UFO encounter, and a chilling account from researcher Barry Clark involving lost time, mysterious lights, and possible abduction experiences. Breedlove also shares how he built an independent film series about cryptids and what's next, including Flatwoods Monster, On the Trail of Champ, and Bray Road Beast.

Key takeaways

• 1The Kecksburg UFO incident (December 9, 1965): a fireball seen over Ontario, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania allegedly crashed in the woods near Kecksburg, PA; witnesses describe an acorn-shaped object that seemed to descend in a controlled way and was hauled away by the military on a tarped flatbed truck.
• 2A local radio announcer who made a Kecksburg documentary was allegedly pressured by possible Men in Black to alter it, and was later killed by a car in California; his ex-wife suspected foul play.
• 3Uniontown UFO-Bigfoot case: George Kowalczyk investigated a strange light over a farm field and encountered two Bigfoot-like creatures that reportedly stopped a bullet with their hands.
• 4Researcher Barry Clark described a silver light at Bell Farm that turned blood red while smaller lights swarmed it 'like bees to a hive,' followed by lost-time episodes, his grandson reporting men coming through a hole in the ceiling, and a 2011 physical incident he would only describe off camera.
• 5Investigator Dwayne Pintoff reported an orb entering a 'window in the sky' portal, and local claims of secret Russian military operatives on Chestnut Ridge.
• 6Stan Gordon has investigated Chestnut Ridge phenomena since 1959; Eric Altman described a 'Mohawk Bigfoot' that chased a fisherman to his car.
• 7Point Pleasant's State Theater served as the morgue for victims of the 1967 Silver Bridge collapse, linked to the Mothman legend.

While our government's official position is not to speculate on this subject, we can choose to let our minds explore other possibilities, to use our imaginations. For if we consider that astro-scientists agree on one point, that the possibility of life elsewhere is not only quite probable, some feel it is there without a doubt.
