What happened in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, in September 1962?
Correct answer: A space object hit the earth

Wow! That's my hometown, I never imagined it would be a trivia question! My favorite one, yet 😍

Why in the world they would want to return it to the Soviets?? Especially when they din’t want it. Would be much cooler if till this day, there was an original piece, not a replica.
Keith Boswell
Lionessa, Absolutely correct, in those days. USSR was always trying to be better (which they never did) show how they were better than the USA.

Uninitialized, It's also the setting of the case in Making a Murderer. That's what first came to my mind. 🫤
Lionessa
Keith Boswell, That is exactly why we could never have faked the moon landing. The competition between the US and USSR was fierce. They would have known and screamed it from the rooftops.
Karebear
Red, sounds like a fun festival!
Me
Lionessa, was???
Lionessa
Barn, It was the Cold War. We needed the world to know that this Sputnik failed, and was in our possession. Every day was ruled by politics.

Ok clearly what must have happened here is that some thirsty person in Manitowoc wished for a "smoldering hunk"to fall from the sky and then immediately regretted not being more specific. 😬

Eva, Some people believe anything. The guy was a creep before prison. A murderer after

Uninitialized, Not true. Watch Making A Murderer on Netflix. I was entirely enthralled and have literally rewatched it a number of times. That's where I was able to recognize the town from.

Manitowoc cranes are the best, and they are critical to the building of many skyscrapers and bridges, etc., in the US and the world. I say this as an RE development professional. Sorry, Uninitialized, lots of things of consquence have happened in that town, even if the final result wasn't in Manitowoc.

constantgamer0421, my mom lived in Sheboygan Falls. My Grandpa Fauerbach owned a brewery. my mom told us that Dillinger used my grandpa's cottage as a hideout. the cabin is a historical site now. hmm

I wish they would have given "that" chunk to me it'd be worth over 25 million today!

Manitowoc was one of the towns that John Dillinger hid out in, where FBI agent Purvis and his fellows chased him and his crew and ended up killing Baby Face Nelson after Nelson wrecked and rolled the vehicle that he absconded from a couple of FBI agents.
