Marion sighting Info

Just some info about the description of the area provided by the person who also posted for this date. The city of Marion has about the population described, and the largest city nearby, Cedar Rapids, is actually not as far away as described and as small. Cedar Rapids borders Marion and the whole metro area of Cedar Rapids/Marion/Hiawatha has around 200,000 people. The aerospace center mentioned is Rockwell Collins, which builds radio and other equipment for military and civilian aviation is in Cedar Rapids, within 2 miles of the Marion border. The nuclear power plant mentioned is Duane Arnold Energy Center is in Palo, within 6 miles of Cedar Rapids northwestern border. So it is not as nearly far away as described by the person who posted about the flashing lights, and by the way is the only nuclear power plant in Iowa and does carry a lot of importance because of this.
