The West Newton Public Library will host Stan Gordon at 11 a.m. Oct. 6 for a free presentation in the West Newton Lions Fieldhouse on Pittsburgh Street, a spokesperson said.

Gordon is a historian and researcher of reports of paranormal and unexplained phenomena throughout the Western Pennsylvania area, including the so-called 1965 Kecksburg UFO incident in Westmoreland County.

Gordon’s talk will discuss some of the classic UFO sightings, along with reports of strange creatures throughout the Greater Pittsburgh region. Gordon also will talk about a surge of unusual incidents that took place during 2023 along Chestnut Ridge and elsewhere.

The event is free, but registration is requested at (724) 633-0798. Donations to benefit West Newton Public Library will be accepted.

The spokesperson added that residents are encouraged to donate newer and gently-used paperback books to the library’s collection. Hours of operation are 12 noon to 5 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays, 12 noon to 7 p.m. Wednesdays, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. The library is located at 124 N. Water St.
