SIGHTING: JEFFERSON, IOWA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"On October 4, 2011, at about 8:45-9:00 p.m. at Spring Lake Park, near Jefferson, Iowa, I and a retired Methodist minister friend were sitting around the campfire when we saw a mixture of red & blue lights moving fast and erratically,doing right-angle turns and zigzags as it moved from NW to SE. We watched for 3-4 minutes until it disappeared from view. We guessed the altitude at 30,000-35,000 feet. Degrees up we estimated at 45-50 degrees. We could not see structure. The apparent size might be a baby aspirin, and the transit I've estimated at 18 inches, which would be approximately 45 degrees. Observing the zigzag movement of the object, my friend and I turned to each other and said, "That's not an airplane; that's a UFO!""
