Background
At 11:00 p.m. on July 12, 1980, a professor and his wife were getting ready for bed in Urbandale, Iowa, when they noticed three round light spots in a triangular formation high in the southern sky. The lower two looked like bright stars, while the upper one seemed larger. The smaller lights zigzagged and came together under the larger light for 20 minutes until all three abruptly disappeared.
