During World War II and again at the start of the Cold War, the military called on civilians to staff thousands of posts to help keep a watch out for enemy aircraft. The program was called the Ground Observer Corps, and by 1952, Ohio had nearly 200 community stations, manned 24/7 by retirees, housewives, teenagers and other patriotic Americans. Not surprisingly, having so many trained eyes on the sky resulted in many reports of unidentified objects, several of which were verified by air force jets sent to check them out.
