It’s time for another exciting Uncle John’s Caption Contest everybody!
First: One this day in 1965, the Kecksburg UFO incident occurred:
The Kecksburg UFO incident occurred on December 9, 1965, at Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, USA. A large, brilliant fireball was seen by thousands in at least six U.S. states and Ontario, Canada… It was generally assumed and reported by the press to be a meteor after authorities discounted other proposed explanations such as a plane crash, errant missile test, or reentering satellite debris.
Ah – but that’s waht they always say!
Others from Kecksburg, including local volunteer fire department members, reported finding an object in the shape of an acorn and about as large as a Volkswagen Beetle.
And it reportedly had Egyptian hieroglyphic-like writing on it! But the US Army came, made everybody leave, loaded it on a flatbed truck, and took it away! And said they hadn’t found a thing! They always do that!
Anyway, here’s the contest: Caption what you think was written in alien hieroglyphics on the acorn-shaped spaceship that crashed in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, on December 9, 1965. As a guide, use this photo of a model of the ship built by the good people of Kecksburg (click on photo to activate enlarging field):

Take us to your oak trees!
Entries accepted until midnight Sunday. Most outrageously hilarious and smart caption, as judged by our panel of non-celebrity caption experts, wins an Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader of their choice.
Good luck!
