Flash over Yellville, AR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On September 27, 2015, My friend and I were approximately 12 miles south of Yellville, Arkansas off Hwy 14, near the Buffalo River. This was the night of the blood moon. As we were outside watching the lunar eclipse, my friend was looking up at the stars. He got my attention and told me to look at what he was seeing. I looked over to see what he was talking about and I notice a flash in the sky. If say 90 degree is straight up, then the flash out be about say 80 degree point sitting stationary in the sky. This flash seems to be coming from a long distance. So as we are watching, the flash would happen approximately 30 or so seconds. The flash would either be a slow fade in, then slow fade out or would be a quick, high intensity flash. This seemed to be random with no pattern. Continued in one spot for about 15 minutes and then the flash would be in another spot, and then another spot, until it was completely gone. I am aware what a high altitude j! et and a satellite crossing the sky looks like. Nothing to my knowledge would stay stationary for this period of time. The next morning we talked about it to make sure we had both seen the same thing

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. 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.

Then I saw more and I went to windows all around the house looking. They were ONLY on the north side of the house. They seemed to be flowing in a west to east direction and gently rising and going down. I watched them go all along our woods and then through the trees behind us into a cow pasture out back. Their white light was about 10 X the light of a firefly. For some reason they seemed happy and peaceful in the way they moved. My husband wants me to wake him up if I see them again. I wish I'd done that.

I think I saw and investigated a UFO water-stop.
