Multiple UFO’s sighted over Arkansas, 1978
During January of 1978, residents of Arkansas had an astonishing series of UFO encounters. The first report came from a Fort Smith law enforcement official. He described seeing several people who were looking up in the sky at a series of strange lights. Inquiries to the FAA came back negative. The second sighting originated from two newspaper reporters (also from Fort Smith) who described seeing a strange craft that was about half the size of a Volkswagen, and gray metallic in color. The object emitted an unusual beeping noise. Electromagnetic effects included stalled engines, electrical system malfunctions, and radios that went dead. When the craft departed, all electrical systems within the vicinity returned to normal. The third sighting involved a mother and her two children. While driving home to Alma Arkansas around 10:00 PM, all three spotted a dazzling array of multi-colored lights coming over the top of the trees. The lights stayed motionless for a few moments, and then disappeared back over the trees. Source: Argus Press Feb 2, 1978.
