Summary

In October 1957, a witness in Iowa observed a round object the size of a silver dollar emitting irregular red and white lights. The phenomenon lasted 15 minutes before suddenly disappearing. Although an aircraft was considered, the object's nature could not be confirmed. Weather data and wind currents did not align with its movement, adding mystery to the case.

Three witnesses, including an electrician and a housewife, independently reported the incident. All described the erratic lights and unusual behavior of the object. Despite the lack of photos or recordings, the observers were deemed reliable by a military officer. This case remains an unresolved enigma in UFO history.
