KERWIN (CONT'D) CONRAD Q,UERY KERWIN WEITZ :::oNRAD :IBRWIN Unusual or Unexpected Visual Phenomenon. We saw light flashes. I think all of us saw them. I saw them most often when I was in the sack at night with my eyes closed but awake naturally. They tended to wax and wane in frequency. Someone asked me if that was in conjunction with the South Atlantic anomaly. It may have been. I didn't have the pad with me at that time and I don't know. They were numerous at times - two or three per minute. Some of them to me were a spot or sunbursts. Some were streaks. The streaks, in my case, were less frequent than the bursts. Most of them were in my peripheral visual field. Very few in the central visual fieJ.d. I don't know why. You could isolate them to one eye, couldn't you? No, I couldn't. I would say mine were primarily in the left eye for some reason. You have to concentrate but you can determine they are in one eye. I did not. That was foolish of me but I didn't try. I'm sure they are in one eye. 23-20
