17. The one that always struck me was the Lt. Colonel Lawrence Coyne incident

A military helicopter piloted by Col. Coyne in 1973 was supposedly nearly struck by a flying object heading towards him at a great velocity. He put the helicopter into a dive but then said the interior of the copter was bathed in a green light and the helicopter was lifted thousands of feet into the sky by this object. The incident was corroborated by all four Army crew members. The incident was also seen from the ground by a family of five in their car from the ground, two of whom were later interviewed. I remember seeing Col. Coyne on the Dick Cavett show in the early 70s. I think I had been smoking weed at the time and wasn't sure whether I'd dreamed the TV interview all these years. I found a short description on youtube. Wish I could find the full interview from the Cavett show as it was pretty strange. What struck me was the credibility of four U.S. Army helicopter crew members (they also appeared on Cavett) including a U.S.Army Lieutenant Colonel.
