Circle over Dardanelle, AR

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

The report, as filed

I couldn't make out the shape of it but the light was circular, with a small trail behind it, but not like a meteor. It was too big to be an asteroid or a meteor, and to fast to be anything from earth. Where I live I see a lot of commercial airlines fly overhead at night, but the light that a commercial plane gives off pales in comparison to the light of this ufo. I was astounded and my friend in the passenger seat saw it also, he said he was able to see a! shape within the light, but it went by so quickly, it was hard to make out an exact shape.

Dardanelle, AR

I was on the Arkansas River catfishing, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a very bright blueish object going seriously fast. When i first saw it it was doing a wierd zigzag thing that went on for about 35 seconds. Then it was gone.just like that it was gone. I imeadeatley started trying to explain it to myself but i couldn't because. It couldn't.be a plane, No blinking lights. not a shooting star, no trail.
