Thanks for posting this to the List, John. 
Those that are not subscribed to facebook might have missed this discussion. 

Having a lot of relatives in this part of PA, I'm very familiar with this area.  But, 
this area has had a long history of visitations from "out there" in space, and 
has become a localized hot-bed for ufologists.  Starting with:

The Kecksburg, Pennsylvania "UFO Crash" -  actually the Great Lakes Fireball of December 9, 1965 --

Waiting for word from the locals when the snow will start to melt.

 "A 500-pound space rock about two feet in diameter entered
 the Earth's atmosphere outside of Pittsburgh last night, according to NASA. 
 The object, detected by three NASA meteor cameras, was moving at
 a speed of 45,000 miles per hour. Visibility was lost at an altitude of 13 miles, but 
 the space agency speculates that fragments, or meteorites,
 might be found on the ground east of Kittanning, PA. 
 NASA posted this animation from the meteor's perspective showing its
 trajectory as it raced towards western Pennsylvania."...
