Uniontown UFO and creatures
On 25 October 1973 about 15 people near Uniontown watched a red light descend to a field. A farmer's son and two boys found a glowing dome and two tall, hairy creatures; he fired at them and they walked into the woods.

The account
Investigator Stan Gordon of Greensburg, who interviewed the witnesses with state police, recorded dozens of Bigfoot and UFO reports in western Pennsylvania during 1973, one of the densest waves of its kind.
The sceptical view
Accounts differ on dates and details, and most of the record comes through Gordon's own retellings.
