The paper presents a sample of newly detected eclipsing binaries from the public Kepler data. Orbits and fundamental parameters of 20 unknown eclipsing binaries were determined by modeling of their photometric data. Most of them are well-detached, high-eccentric binaries. We established that the target KID8552719 satisfied all widespread criteria for a planetary candidate. Fitting its light curve we obtained radius R_p=0.9 R_Nept, distance to the host star a = 42.58 Rsun = 0.198 AU and equilibrium temperatute T_p= 489 K. These values imply a Neptune-size object out of the habitable zone of the host star.
