Disambiguation: Captain Lawrence J. Coyne is uniquely identified as the commander of the 1973 Mansfield UFO incident helicopter crew. No other notable public figure by this name in the UAP context.

Captain Lawrence James Coyne was a 36-year-old U.S. Army Reserve officer and experienced pilot who became a central figure in UFO research through his command of the UH-1H Huey helicopter involved in the October 18, 1973, Mansfield UFO incident near Ohio. Enlisted in the Army Reserve in 1955 after graduating from James Ford Rhodes High School in Cleveland, Coyne held additional credentials as a police officer, helicopter and airplane pilot, and Special Forces-certified personnel with 19 years of flying experience at the time of the encounter. Initially a UFO skeptic, the incident profoundly changed his perspective, and he testified before the United Nations in 1978 regarding the encounter, affirming that "this object was real." The Center for UFO Studies designates the Coyne Incident as the most credible UAP encounter of the 1973 wave, and the FAA chief at Cleveland Hopkins Airport praised Coyne's exceptional integrity and capability.
