Duration: 5 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Pinebergen, AR, USA

Shape: Light

Round, bright, low flying object silently speeds West of Arkansas town at 11:30pm, 10/10/94.

I saw a steady, fast moving white ball of light traverse the night sky at a low altitude. No sound accompanied the object. This ball of light headed due West of Pine Bluff, AR. The object was flying much to fast to be a plane, yet it was much to steady to be meteorite or "shooting star". The light seemed to be perfectly round, had no tail and flew in a strait line until I lost it in the tree line. By judging the altitude of this object, I would predict it's size to be about that of a round bus. I know this is not a spectacular sighting, but there was certainly something mechanical about the object. That is really all I saw, but it was enough to know that there was something strange cruising our atmosphere that night! It was beautiful and I have no idea what it was!
