Step back in time to 1949 and the strange skies over Norwood, Ohio. In The Flying Peanut: The Norwood UFO Incident, we dig into one of the most intriguing and overlooked UFO cases in American history — a peanut-shaped object caught in a powerful searchlight above suburban Cincinnati.

In this video, we walk through what eyewitnesses reported that night, why the object earned the nickname “The Flying Peanut,” and how investigators like Leonard Stringfield helped turn the Norwood UFO Incident into a classic case in UFO lore. We’ll look at the role of the searchlight operator, local clergy, families on the ground, and the wider UFO flap happening in the late 1940s.
