Brief

On October 18, 1973, Capt. Lawrence Coyne and three U.S. Army Reserve crewmen reported a cigar-shaped object approaching their UH-1H helicopter near Mansfield, Ohio before a green light filled the cockpit area. Because Project Blue Book had closed in 1969, the case sits outside the classic Air Force pipeline. NICAP and CUFOS investigator Jennie Zeidman collected the aircrew and ground-witness accounts, making it one of the best-documented post-Blue Book pilot close-encounter reports.
