Circle over Hot Springs National Park, AR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Over Lake Hamilton just before/at sunset. The moon was visible during the day and bright. Under the moon we saw what looked like a floating plastic bag, semi transparent. At first we thought it was an independent floating cloud, it was far too big and high to be a plastic bag. When we first saw it, it was to the left of the moon underneath and moving away from the moon. Then it abruptly changed directions and moved to the right underneath the moon. It was high but fast. Much faster than any clouds in the sky. When it reached the tree line of our sight, it disappeared. Shortly after a second one, identical to the first in shape and size and color, appeared to the left of the moon, moving to the right toward the other one. When it reached the top of the tree line from our view, it disappeared. There was no sound at all.

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.

So at this point i grabbed my phone to document this event.by this time these “lights” had move to where i couldn’t see them but another wave of lights flicker on.so i took multiple pictures and a video of the second wave of these light/UFO’s as i was taking video of the lights there is a airplane taking off and looks to fly thru or around these clusters of lights, as fast as the lights appeared they extinguished just as fast . Now let me say, i’m a disabled veteran from the United States Marine Corp. my MOS was in Aviation mainly helicopters. And i have worked Avionics on CRJ’s” Canadian Regional Jets”and a few aircraft repair stations here in town. Here are the pictures i took and the video. Note the video will need the light adjusted to see well. enjoy. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

When two people mentioned about the lights in the sky, I looked up towards the Southwest and saw several lights, all one color.....not pink, but not red either. There were about six lights in formation of a triangle, they would become dim and then bright.....we all were in awe. Some thought they may have been planes or helicopters, but these lights were stationary. They would drop in altitude, but rise again to their original position in the sky. Then they disappeared.
