I went out to smoke on break and saw a large bright light toward Tontitown. My initial thought was an airplane, but as I stared, I realized, not only was this thing way too big to be an airplane (unless it was flying much, much lower than needed) but it was solid white. For almost a full minute, it stayed in one place, then darted toward Arvest Ballpark. It looked to have been directly over the Pilot truck stop before taking off. Seconds after crossing Hwy 412 E., it disappeared.

I was driving home, saw a light in the sky, at first I thought it was an airliner, but it was to bright for that, as I started watching it, it changed from an orb shape to a barbell shape and back to an orb, it did this for a few minutes and stayed a barbell shape and just vanished, I called a buddy of mine and he looked west, as we were talking he heard a loud jet heading from east to west.
