Summary
An early morning high-speed police chase involving a UFO... a military helicopter crew's encounter with something from out of this world... these are just a few examples of some of history's best-known and most credible UFO cases, both of which occurred in Ohio during the height of the Cold War. What were the objects these trained professionals observed, and what do their presence in the skies mean for U.S. National Security?
This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we cover a recent trip with the documentary team from "Small Town Monsters" into the heart of the Buckeye State in search of answers to the famous 1966 Portage County UFO Chase and the landmark 1973 Coyne UFO Incident. We also examine Cold War U.S. military history from the period, and why these famous Ohio UFO encounters remain some of the country's most compelling cases.
