Full Report Text:
Many people in Ar River Valley reporting as many as 50 lights flying extremely high altitude, described as Satellites. I saw one look to have bright flashes show up 3 times behind the light. Similar to chafing or quick bright explosions.
Full Report Text:
Four of us saw 2 or more pulsating light flashes spinning in the same spot for a period of 45 minutes. Then several very bright flashes as if something was flying away. We viewed this sight from the top of a mountain no street lights around or airplanes very strange sight.
Full Report Text:
I was standing outside looking at the night sky when a bright, clear ball of light with spikes all over it, each expanding and contract. It has taken me quite a while to be able to mention this to anyone. I didn't want to believe it happened, but I have to get this out.
I'm not sure of the exact date although the moon was almost full. I work evenings and had been home a couple hours and had just finished watching tv in the living room. My wife and 2 daughters were all in their beds asleep.
I am a creature of habit and, correct to schedule, I turned off my tv and turned around to grab my cat to take her to bed with us. She always watches tv with me until about 5:00AM and then I scoop her up and take her to bed with my wife and I. My cat hangs out with me like clockwork until I take her to bed with us.
(she sleeps at the foot of our bed every night.) The lights are now off in the house and there was plenty of light coming in the living room window from the bright moon. I turned around as usual to scoop up our big Main Coon cat and she was nowhere to be found.
I thought that was a little strange because she had been there earlier but if you know cats then you know they have a mind of their own, so I didn't think much of it. As I turned to go down the hall to retire to bed with my wife, I noticed how clear and bright it was outside. Since it had been cloudy and raining earlier I decided to step outside for just a moment in my socks and boxers to take in the rain-refreshed air and look at the moon.
The sidewalk had almost dried so I walked about 30 feet down the sidewalk to get to the driveway so I could have an unobstructed clear view of the night sky and nearly full moon. I looked up and remember seeing the moon and how beautiful it looked and then something even brighter than the moon caught my left eye's per. Vision.
I turned an look up and at first I was amazed thinking to myself, "what on earth is that?". It was a bright white glowing orb but it had spikes coming out of it all over. The spikes were the same bright glowing white but they were not all the same size and they were constantly expanding and contracting growing larger and then smaller again.
They were pulsing and changing sizes getting longer and shorter all the time. It's hard to explain. At that point I felt frozen and terrified because it appeared very close to me - maybe only 30 or 40 feet up in the air.
That's when things got really terrifying. The reason this has stuck with me is because I was quite literally frozen in fear. I was descending closer to me - maybe about 20 feet directly over my head now.
I have only two words that can explain what happened next: Primal Fear. I had always heard people being paralyzed by fear but I've been in a lot of tense situations before and am known for staying calm and collected. if you asked me before this experience what I would have done I would have told you I would run inside.
But I literally couldn't move. My front door was only 30 feet away but it might as well have been 30 miles away because there was no way I could get there. I remember I was standing slightly off the sidewalk into the wet grass at this point and I wanted to run for the door.
But I could not. I fell to the ground in a fetal position completely terrorized and paralyzed in fear. I heard no sound from the object at all.
It was completely silent as it kept descending toward me now about 15 feet or so in the air. It's spikes continued to expand and contract and I began trying to scream my wife's name, tears running down my eyes. But I couldn't make a sound.
I tried screaming for help but not a word or sound came out of my mouth. I remember trying to scream for my wife and then just HELP hoping somebody -anybody would hear me but I could couldn't make a sound. What I can tell you for sure is that the fear was as deep, primal and disturbing.
The fear was REAL. The next thing I knew, I woke up about 11AM in my own bed naked. But that is not unusual for me.
Sorry maybe that is a little more information than you wanted. But it is relevant because when I woke up everything appeared normal. I remember thinking, "Oh God, it was just a dream.
It was just a dream thank God!" A hell of a lucid vivid dream but a dream non-the-less. So, wife and kids already gone for the day, I stumbled back down the hall toward the kitchen to make some coffee. I was starting to relax and then decided to walk outside and get the paper.
What happened next I will never forget. There next to the sidewalk where I had been standing "in my dream" we're my two wet socks, my damp boxer shorts (it had previously rained before the incident the night before. My socks and boxers (the only two things I had been wearing) at the time were outside.
At that point my heart sank. I threw the socks and boxers away and have never mentioned it to anyone until now. Not even my wife.
After almost two years I still have not mentioned it to my wife or anyone else. I'm afraid they would send me to a mental facility or that my wife would think I am nuts, which I am NOT. I cannot afford to lose everything.
At best, I went sleep walking around my neighborhood naked (I am not a sleep walker). At worse, it wasn't a dream. I am very confused about it - that's all I remember.
One final thought. At night when I close my eyes and start re-living the incident over in my head to try and figure out more - when I concentrate really hard on it my body jerks and I have this extremely unpleasant electrical feeling surge through me until I stop thinking about it. Think about what restless legs feel like but over your entire body - just for trying to remember it.
It is like my brain has blocked off my access to that memory and has set up some kind of "electrical" force field around it in my brain that is so uncomfortable physically that I try never to think of it. So there it is. You may think I'm crazy but it feels good to finally get this off my chest.
By the way I own a very successful business and have a degree in business management. I tell you that just so you know I am of at least average intelligence. I do not drink alcohol.
And I am absolutely certain I was not seeing the moon. They were in two different places. I have never heard of anything quite like this.
If you know of others similar, please let me know. It would mean a lot to find out I am not the only one to have experienced this sort of thing. Thanks for reading.

Three orange fireballs in the sky forming a triangle. Two disappeared after 20 minutes but one stay for 45 minutes. No movement, just floating in the same location.
Full Report Text:
The object was metallic, large, cigar shaped with a bright gleam of light emanating from one end almost separate from the craft. I was only around 8 or 9 years old at the time. The only witness I still have contact with doesn't remember the event.
It was recess just after lunch at the swing sets when my friend kept talking about how he could see a UFO and it took me a while to see what he was pointing at. Once my eyes locked in on what I was seeing, it was clear that it was not a plane or a cloud. I was looking directly West and around 80 degrees upwards from the ground.
It was a metallic cigar-shaped object. On the left of it, there was a light obscuring it's end where it may have come to a point. The craft was high in the cloudless sky and appeared relatively large and very high in altitude accounting for atmospheric scattering of light (like how a distant object appears slightly blue).
It was slowly moving straight up, and as it moved, the light that was emanating from it's left end was pulsating and growing brighter while also dimming and becoming invisible at times. This gave me a chance to really observe the light. The light pulsated in a very distinct pattern that would rotate.
It almost seemed to be a physical object while also being very bright. The pattern resembled a typical starlight pattern viewed through an optical device like a telescope. As the object continued to ascend, it got so high up that all that was visible was the "light".
Eventually, the light was no longer visible. It appeared to have left the atmosphere, entirely. My friend said he saw an orb shoot out and was doing weird maneuvers in the sky while my eyes had drifted away.
At this point, I was still processing what I just saw, so I didn't see the orb he was talking about but played along as if I did. The cigar shaped object never went in a different direction - just up. It was very enticing, and I had a very real urge to follow it somehow.
Physically, I and my surroundings experienced no effects that I am aware of. I think everyone forgot about it shortly afterwards. I should note: nothing in this story was exaggerated, fabricated, or left out regarding my entire observation of this object.
As far as I know, I am the only witness; however, there may be more witnesses in the area that I just never talked to about. I am not 100% certain about the date and time, but I had to have been in third or fourth grade at the time (2006-2008). It was warm, not quite hot, cloudless, and before or around noon.
The exact coordinates I was standing was 35°13'15.47"N 94°15'20.11"W looking west and upwards.
Full Report Text:
Blinking, multi-colored lights below clouds outside Ft. Chaffee. Traveling east on Hwy 10 dark, cloudy night.
Outside of Ft. Chaffee above fishing lake blinking lights as if wanting to be seen. Sure the trucker behind and ahead of me saw it.
5 miles further, still outside of Ft. Chaffee appeared again, very large, unsure of shape, blinking red, green, blue lights, again wanting to be seen (by me?) I pulled into my road very secluded sure I'd get better view but then noted it was cloudy and couldn't see any stars so pretty sure it wanted to be seen. (My first and I'm thrilled).
