Nike Missile Station Tracks UFO
November 14, 1960
Dillsboro, Indiana

Francis Ridge:
Just three days before my NICAP team was authorized as Indiana Unit No. 1, the newspapers in southern Indiana had a small article about an object tracked on radar by a Nike missile site on the eastern Indiana/western Ohio border at Dillsboro, Indiana. The report was leaked to the papers, but the Nike site executive officer denied the tracking in a letter to me written on December 1st. 

The site map below is partial view of a U.S. Army map from 1968 showing the southeastern Indiana Nike CD-63 Site protecting Cincinnati and Dayton. Note: the map has been edited to show only the southeastern Indiana site.
