The Craddock Fireball: South Africa’s Lost UFO Case & Its Strange Link to Kecksburg, PA
Description
In 1965, a massive glowing fireball streaked across the sky over South Africa’s Karoo region — zig-zagging, stopping, crackling, and disappearing in a burst of light and sulfur. Two months later, a nearly identical object crashed in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, prompting military retrievals, sealed reports, and decades of speculation.
Are these events connected?
Were they meteors, Cold War rocket failures… or something the public was never meant to see twice?
This week, Neal and Andrew are joined by South African explorers Roland Gaspar and Frank Martins (The Adventure Guys) to investigate the Craddock Fireball and its possible relationship to the Kecksburg UFO crash.
Together, they explore:
- Eyewitness accounts from Craddock/Nwoba
- Why the fireball’s behavior defied typical meteor physics
- Secret South African radar installations & Cold War weapons programs
- Kecksburg’s acorn-shaped craft & military lockdown
- Theories involving Soviet capsules, GE reentry vehicles, and even the Nazi Bell
- Why both events were immediately labeled “meteors”… despite contradictions
- And whether this is a Mostly True Alien Story — or something else entirely
This is one of the most unique cross-continental UFO stories we’ve ever covered.
