As reported

Circle over Clarksville, AR

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I saw an orange ball moving in a straight line (N/NE) slowly, dropped something red (looked like a red light) from the bottom, then disappeared. It didn't look like a fireball but more like a ball of light. It lasted about 3-5 minutes.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #114472). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

A uniform line of lights rising from the horizon, moving slow, fading out about 40 seconds after they faded in. Oh, I just found out it might be Elon Musk's starlight satellite train? Damn

I was heading to work when I noticed a red spark in the sky. Then this star that was stationary moved away from the red explosion and two other white lights showed up. Red spark happened instantly and disappears the lights appeared for a few seconds then disappeared where the red spark happened.

Clarksville, AR

Stepped out into our backyard to let out the dog and when I looked up there was a huge bright white light cirleish in shape coming towards our house from the East. I ran in to grab my hubby and within that 2 seconds the light had went so far up so fast towards the South it had become a tiny little orb of moving light just like all the ones we have been seeing since April of this year.
