The Day Mysterious Fireballs and Men in Black Descended on Philadelphia 1960

There’s a lot we don’t understand about this world of ours. And by ‘world’ I mean the cosmos, the universe…this reality we inhabit. There is stuff that happens that just doesn’t make any sense. Sometimes it’s easy to pass it off as lies, or hoax, or even just delusion, but other times, in honest inquiry, it’s harder to dismiss the weird goings on in our world.
Some weird stories get overlooked too. For whatever reason they don’t catch the eye of those equipped to analyse and understand the features of such a story, but thanks to the archival nature of our culture, many of those obscure stories are still available to be discovered and explained.
One such case is that of Mrs. Louise Matthews from Philadelphia. It happened some time during the summer of 1960, and by ‘it’, I mean the fireball incident.
It seems that Louise, on one summer afternoon, was lounging on her living room sofa, when she happened to look up toward a nearby window, just in time to see a large glowing fireball descending through the glass and Venetian window blinds. Miraculously, neither the window nor the blinds were damaged by this, however Louise didn’t fare quite so well.
Upon entering her home, the fireball passed near her head, as she buried her face in the sofa cushions in terror. She heard a sizzling sound, and in an effort to protect herself, she reached her hand around and shielded the back of her head, exclaiming “Oh Lord not like this!” Then, without any further effect, the fireball passed through the room and left the house via another window.
Dazed and confused by the experience, Louise took stock of her person and found that her head and hand were burned, and that the hair on the back of her head was falling out in clumps. She claimed that the hair was changed – felt wiry and brittle – and she was understandably panicked by the experience.
She ran from her home into the street, screaming and hysterical, and was met by neighbours who gasped at the state of her head. Her husband, later, broke into tears at the sight of her, and feared that the incident had been a warning from God.
