The Coyne Helicopter Encounter
  October 18, 1973
Mansfield, Ohio


Features: Aerial encounter, mass displacement, loss of vehicle control, light beam, E-M effects
A four-man crew of an Army Reserve UH-1H helicopter, based in Cleveland, OH, encountered a very strange craft at 2,500 feet. This case is cited by many as being on most researcher's "top ten" list. And it gets better. Someone on the ground encountered the same or similar object, right smack in the middle of one of the most intense sighting waves in UFO history.
