Full Report Text:

Summary : No Noise, No nothing except blurry lights,an extremly large object with such speed and manuvirabilty,stopping and starting, hooveringfor about "1-2 minutes" aproximately 2000- 3000 ft away. I was in total shock I fianally ran in the house and got my wife, she did getto see it. Thank god or I think I may have gone insane wondering "did I really seethis thing??" It was about 11:15 p.

m., Christmas Eve.I have a shop in my yard about 150 Ft.

away from my house, Thats where we park our cars. We have Three children at home,Christmas presents were still in the car I had made about three trips to the cars,(Bringing the presents in to my wife so shecould start wrapping them)I was walking backdown the hill to the house when I sawsomething in the corner of my eye. I knew Isaw something, something that was not normalto our world.

I looked down as I took a few more steps to the house trying to conviencemyself I had really seen something I stopped looked up and there it was, So dynamically and areobatically zipping through the sky,making high speed turns, slowing and speeding up with no effort then it began to come toward me, I'm guessing it came within 2000-3000 ft.of me and just stopped Oh! the thoughts in my mind, you just wouldn't believe. I suddendly realized someone else needed to see this (iffor nothing else, for me -peace of mind thatI saw what I saw) I called to my wife, she couldn't hear me so I ran into the housecalling her and standing at the door fearingit would leave and no one else would see itit did start moving again before my wifeput something on her feet and got out to the front porch, but she had her opportunity to see the object in full motion just as Ihad seen it early.

No noise no nothing, just lights, blurry lights. I need to see this object again or pictures of ufo's at night While I'm not in such shock I think if Icould see someone elses pictures If therewere one of this object I could pick itout.???.

three lights moving in a triangle formation, no sound, all three lights went out at the same moment 10 September, 1996 Approx. 11:45 PM Sky: Clear Temperature: 60 F As I arrived home and got out of my car, I glanced up at the stars as I often do. Tonight though, I noticed that something wasn't right about them.

So I closed the car door and leaned back against the car to see if I could figure out what it was. Then I noticed 3 stars in a triangular pattern that I could not recall ever seeing before. I began trying to get a fix on the star patterns.

I knew the location of Polaris and these stars were just left of it. From my position, I'd say they were North Northwest. Next I located Cassiopeia, just to my right or North Northeast.

So then I looked back to the stars to see if I could identify them and as I watched them, I thought to myself that they were moving. At first, I dismissed it as a trick of the light, but after a few more seconds, I used my index finger and thumb to measure the distance from a near by tree. I was getting ready to take a second measurement when I noticed that I could definitely see movement.

All three "stars" were moving in an East Southeasterly direction. All three lights were "white" light. I didn't notice any color change or flickering in them.

The front light and the back right light were the brightest, the back left light was about half the brightness of the other two. As I watched, the lights got closer overhead, then they suddenly went out. All three of them at the same time.

I noticed that there did not seem to be any difference in the movement of the lights, that is to say all three light remained the same distance apart during the time I watched them. Almost as if they were all attached to one object. I waited outside for a few more minutes to see if the lights would come back on, or if I could hear some kind of engine noise, but nothing else happened.

About a week later, I mentioned the event to a group of friends and one of them told me that someone who worked in the City of Fayetteville, approx 30 miles away, had mentioned seeing something similar. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of the individual and hav! e lost c ontact with the friend who mentioned it. I'd also like to add that I served in the USAF for 20 Years, where I worked on Aircraft from the SR-71 to Special Operations Helicopters.

I am familiar with aircraft flying in formations as well as doing night operations. These lights did not appear to fit any formation light configuration that I every saw.

Clearly observed a triangular craft outfitted with three bright lights. Object made no sound and floated perfectly still for around four minutes. As a Police Officer for the North Little Rock Police Department I once held a part time security job for a large apartment complex on the North side of town.

I was compensated with a free apartment and was required to secure three different one-level professional buildings as one would occasionally be accidently left unlocked. In July of 1996 my wife accompanied me to help check the doors, shortening my required walk. Coming upon the last building my wife and I again met up at which time we noticed an unusual type of light reflecting on the pavement 50-100 yards in every direction.

The light closely resembled the light emitted from late model Lincoln headlights (a new type of halogen bulb) and had sort of a purple tint. In total amazement we both looked up to observe some sort of craft hovering in total silence around 300 feet over our heads. The craft had very bright white lights placed in a triangle and no other lighting.

The brightness did not seem to correspond to the level of light hitting the ground as if it were diffused on its way down. The craft remained motionless until we could get to our apartment (approx. 1 block) in an attempt to get my binoculars.

We observed the craft the entire way to the apartment and actually began to feel uneasy about the ships presence. Unfortunately the ship was gone when we came out of the house with the binoculars and we were never able to observe the ship moving. I grew up within a mile of an airport and have seen every type of aircraft and its lights and this was not a conventional aircraft of any sort.

A short but sure encounter with three alien craft and tall, hairy beings, with keen sensory peception. Well we just finished shooting of fireworks on grandpa's farm east of town, and I decided to walk away from the family with my friends in to the patch of woods away from the pasture to enjoy the warm night for a few minutes. As we headed into the woods we noticed a light about 100 yards in front of us, and we thought someone was being stupid and shooting stuff off in the woods so we moved that way.

As we approached, this is what we saw: Three triangular shaped craft were sitting in a break in the trees. Lights were pointing down off each point of the trianles and were pointing towards the ground. The strange beings that piloted these ships were conferencing outside.

They were tall and had very thick hair that covered their body, and seemed to speak tonally. As we approached they smelled the air and glared in our direction. Although, they never saw us, they sensed and smelled danger, and quickly ran to there ships and exploded into the night.

I use the word explosion, but there really wasn't any sound. It was just a instant burst of light and then we were knocked to the ground. But I got a glimpse of the crafts, as they sped from sight, and they seemed to elongate as they accelerated.

We kept the encounter to ourselves and have rarely spoken of it.

Summary : low elevation above trees hovering, no sound. triangle shape.dull metalic color w/ 3 pulsating dim lights on each corner.

calm experience. object turned very slowly w/ swoosh sound and slowly flew away. feeling of walking upon object and it not expecting anyone in area.

about the size of a crop duster plane, small air craft. the husband, kids and my self left california to spent the summer on my husbands parents farm in kingston arkansas. no one lives there.

husbands parents hires someone to go feed the animals once a day when no one is there. the farm is the higest elevation in the area. it sits on the hill over looking all the hills and valleys below.

the husband and i took over feeding the animals when we arrived. one evening at dusky dark we went to close the chicken house door and there it was! very close. i cant est distance or height very well.

id say 1000 ft distance and it was hovering just above the trees near the pond. it was a small air craft est the size of a crop duster plane. it was triangle shape and a dull metalic color w/ 3 dim pulsating lights on each corner.

no sound. it would have been invisable if it had been darker outside, except for the lights. it was a shock to see at first then a calm feeling.

i ask my husband what it was, he said he didnt know. we just stood there and looked at it. i had the feeling we walked upon it unexpectedly since no one was hardly ever there on the farm.

i remember having the feeling i need to get a good look and remember this event. it was such a calm eeerie feeling. it ever so slowly turned with a swoosh sound and flew past the trees and we just kept standing there then went about our business like it never happened.

then weeks later when the parents arrived, it clicked in my mind and i told them what happened and my husband got upset and said he didnt remember it. then later that evening when we got home he said he remembered somthing happening but he didnt remember what. like daaah ! now when i talk about it he comes up with several different things that it coild have been, but i know what happened, because i kept telling myself to remeber this and get a good look.

it was like yesterday to me but i cant understand why i didnt freak out. why i didnt chase it when it went past the trees so i could see it fly over the valleys below.

Caller had left a message at 1355 hrs. on 18JA96. The caller reported that she and her husband had witnessed two beams of light to the northeast of their home that appeared to go straight up into the sky, perfectly parallel to one another.

They appeared to originate from behind a hill to the northeast of their home, and the beams were definitely separated from each other. They were looking toward Beaver Lake. the University at Springdale is to the north.

They called the local newspapers and the local airport(s).
