Cedar City (Iowa) — 1959
Private Gerry Irwin stopped his car to investigate what he thought was a crashing plane. He was later found unconscious. Sequels of the incident (fainting, amnesia and his return to the site in a trancelike state) are sometimes quoted as evi- dence of psychological experience correlated with the observation of the luminous object, Irwin deserted, and his subsequent whereabouts arc unknown.
