Project Blue Book Case #11559. On March 26, 1967, witnesses near New Winchester, Ohio — a tiny community in Tuscarawas County in the state's rural east — observed a bright object. Ohio continued its relentless production of Blue Book unknowns, with cases scattered from the state's cities to its most remote farming communities.
New Winchester sits approximately 100 miles east of Wright-Patterson AFB, in the hilly terrain of the unglaciated Appalachian Plateau. The area's distance from major military installations and commercial airports simplified investigation. The case was classified "Unknown."
