They thought it might be a downed aircraft but heard no crash. As they approached the site, their communication equipment malfunctioned. They encountered a triangular craft that emitted a blinding light. Burroughs and another airman experienced missing time, believing only a few minutes had passed, while others reported they were gone for 45 minutes. After the incident, Burroughs suffered health issues linked to radiation exposure. He and others were later granted medical disability, but many records remain classified. The encounter changed their lives, leading to ongoing health problems and a desire to understand what happened.
