Diamond over South Bend/Jacksonville, AR

The report, as filed

Saturday morning around 3am I was on my front deck looking out into the hay field across the street. It completely dark except for the light from the moon, and a security light on my property. The feed across the street was completely dark. I saw a quick flash of light just to the north of acroos the street. I looked up to see what made the flash, and saw a craft, it was jet black, made no sound, hovering in the sky. It was continously spinning at a slow rate, maintaining its distance in the air as well as it position in the sky. I just sit there spinning slowly, and silent for about 15 minutes. I tried to get a picture of it with my phone but it was too dark. It appeared to be about the size of a half dollar from where I was. So it was pretty high in the sky. Then it just appeared to fade away, not fly off! Just disappear gradually.
