History & local legend
State Game Lands 179 consists of wooded tracts in Greene County’s Aleppo, Gilmore and Jackson townships. The Pennsylvania Game Commission describes steep ridges, narrow valleys and forest broken by fields and utility corridors. The land is managed for wildlife and hunting, with public foot access from designated parking areas.
Two hunters’ accounts concern different encounters: a red-eyed creature near Roberts Run Road and lights rising from the woods into a UFO.
