Myron

The Brick Delivery

Myron and his cousin JS worked for a family-owned shale and tile brick business in Ohio. According to Myron, 2–3 days after the December 9, 1965 Kecksburg crash, the company was contracted to deliver a large shipment of double-glazed engineered bricks to Wright-Patterson AFB. The customer was the U.S. Navy, which sent a representative to inspect and select the bricks. Myron later claimed the bricks were intended to construct a double-thick, lead-lined protective structure around the Kecksburg object to shield against radiation. Receipts of the transaction were reportedly lost when the business was sold.

Upon arriving at Wright-Patterson, Myron and JS were escorted by a two- or three-star general in a blue uniform to a brick warehouse accessible via a narrow blacktop driveway. Outside the building, Myron observed:

• Four to five personnel wearing white coveralls, visor headgear, rubberized gloves and boots, and holstered Colt .45 pistols
• Personnel wore Navy insignia, not Air Force
• A 35-foot Army triaxle lowboy flatbed truck sat nearby with a tarp still draped over its midsection

Observation of the Craft

During a break from unloading the bricks, Myron peered undetected into the warehouse doorway. Inside, he saw:

• Metal scaffolding surrounding a large bell-shaped object
• The object was approximately 10 feet tall and less than 10 feet wide
• Metallic with a dull copper or bronze color, covered in charred residue or soot
• Parachute silk suspended from the ceiling, partially shrouding the object
• A single floodlight directed downward, illuminating the scene

Myron approached a worker using an acetylene torch and asked what he was doing. The man, apparently assuming Myron had proper clearance, explained he was trying to gain entry to the craft. All attempts had failed — acetylene torches, diamond-tipped drill bits, and acid made no progress penetrating the hull. The worker added ominously: "If there are bodies inside, they might be too hot for the mortician to handle."

Myron was then discovered by a guard who warned: "Forget what you've seen or we'll lock you up and throw away the keys."

The Body Claim

Myron first contacted researcher Stan Gordon after seeing the 1990 Unsolved Mysteries broadcast on Kecksburg. He provided detailed testimony about observing the craft but did not initially mention bodies. In 1998, during an interview with Gordon for a documentary titled Kecksburg: The Untold Story, Myron suddenly revealed a new detail: while peering into the warehouse, he had also seen a body lying on a workbench alongside the craft.

Myron's description:

• The body was covered by a white sterile sheet
• Approximately 4 to 4.5 feet tall, estimated to weigh about 80 pounds
• A left hand was visible, sticking out from under the cover
• The hand had three fingers and was covered in dark green or brownish skin described as "lizard-like"

Myron stated he had withheld this information for decades out of fear but decided to come forward due to his declining health. He said: "Right now is the time to tell it before something drastic happens... I may not live till tomorrow."

Corroboration by JS

Myron's cousin "JS" was initially reluctant to speak with investigators but eventually confirmed delivering bricks to Wright-Patterson with Myron. JS stated he saw the object the day before Myron did, sitting upright under a tarp on a lowboy trailer. He described it as shaped like the Liberty Bell, 8 to 10 feet tall and wide. JS saw armed guards and men in fatigue suits but declined to provide extensive detail, citing family reasons.

Between March 30 and April 1, 1991, Leonard Stringfield interviewed JS, who confirmed his observations but did not mention the body.

Credibility Assessment

Leonard Stringfield, who extensively interviewed Myron on videotape with the assistance of medical researcher Dr. Brian Thompson, stated: "I feel convinced of Myron's sincerity." Stringfield was known for his balanced approach to witness testimony and would not have made such a statement lightly.

However, Myron's decision to withhold the body claim for nearly a decade before revealing it in 1998 raises questions. Myron explained the delay by citing fear of government reprisal. Similar patterns of delayed disclosure are seen in other UAP cases, such as witness Robert Willingham in the 1955 Del Rio UFO case, who initially denied seeing bodies then changed his account years later.

Stan Gordon, speaking at the 2003 Annual Crash Retrieval Conference, noted: "In more recent years I have heard rumors that are not widely known that two small bodies were supposedly found at the impact location in 1965. I have generally accepted this as hearsay since there has never been any evidence to back up these claims." Gordon acknowledged the credibility issues but noted the consistency in physical descriptions provided by independent witnesses.

Significance

Myron's testimony provides one of the most detailed alleged firsthand accounts of a retrieved UAP craft and non-human occupant. His description of the craft matches those of witnesses Jim Romansky and Bill Bully Bush at the Kecksburg crash site. His claim that technicians could not penetrate the hull using conventional tools mirrors testimony from other alleged retrieval cases, including witness "RB," who stated he guarded a saucer in 1963 for two weeks while a science team failed to gain entry.

Whether Myron's body claim is accurate remains a matter of debate, but his account of the craft itself is consistent with other witnesses and adds important detail about the alleged transport and storage of the Kecksburg object at Wright-Patterson AFB.
