Cylinder over Paragould, AR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Outside in drive way, wife noticed a weird beam of light. It was traveling low but at very high speed, no vapor trails or flashing lights. Seemed to be shooting out some sort of beam the best i could describe it is like what a scanner beam looks like in scifi movies. It sent out maybe 3 beams and vanished in the distance.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134286). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

They would travel in a cube then change up patterns and then traveled in a line. They was all bright lights. I’ve seen satellites and I know this couldn’t have been satellites or airplanes. They was traveling fast like satellites. But much brighter and different speeds. Some would slow down when they would change up their order and shape that they would form together.

Tuesday night, 6-2-2020 at 11 pm my wife and I were sitting out on our back deck at home in Northeast Arkansas, I was reclining in my chair l ooking at the almost full moon and stars and I noticed what at first I thought was a twinkling star. Then it would shift mostly horizontally. The more I watched it and as my eyes adjusted to darkness, I could see this object wasn’t “giving off” its light it was reflection of the moon light off of it. With the naked eye, it would pulse three tiny lights(I assume tiny) and separate into two lights and back. I was sitting in lawn chair facing west/slightly northwest. The first star in the big dipper handle was to left, about 3-4 inches ( if I held my index finger and thumb to gauge )from craft. I filmed it with my phone. I have several videos of it.

We were in car driving north on highway 351 in Greene County, Arkansas, close to the Crowley’s Ridge Raceway. As we approached, we noticed a horizontal line of several lights up ahead above the tree line. When we got closer it appeared to be higher than a cell tower, but not real big, about the size of a small single propeller airplane. The closer we got to it, we saw a green light on one end and a red light on the other with a white light in center. None of the lights were blinking. We drove directly under it, low enough to see bottom of craft. It was not moving and not making any sound, looked like a boomerang with 3 lights on bottom in a chevron shape. No windows observed, grey/black in color. Very creepy.

Traveling into Paragould from Jonesboro. Saw a large either cigar or triangle shaped black object (hard to tell as it was dark outside as well) moving fast, with two bright lights on either end. It flew directly overhead of my vehicle. I've never seen anything like it, but I have seen other UFO's in the area.
