No of observers: 0

Location: Fort Smith, AR, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Lights on object

I was coming home from work around 12:00 pm Tuesday August 26, 2003. When I saw 3 round lights in the sky. Within another second or so later I saw 30 lights in row forming a half circle. The light was pretty big, it looks like it's about 4 or 5 feet in diameter. The light was an orange bronze color. You could see it clearly, but it wasn't bright. I thought it was an airplane flying very low, but I was wrong. As I got closer to the light I could see the circle shape spinning counter clock wise while the lights are taking turn diming in sequence. The object was facing down at about a 30 degrees angle. The flying object looks like it's about the size of a Wal-mart supercenter. That night while I was driving, I got my windows down to enjoy the nice cool weather. As I saw the object with my eyes, I tried to listen if the object have any sound, but I didn't hear anything from it. It was just hoovering in the sky. I was going to follow it, but it disapper as fast as it appeared. The whole incident lasted for about 30 or 40 seconds. The sight where I saw it is normally busy with traffic during the day, but at night, it's really dead. I was the only car out there when I saw the object. I never seen anything like it in my life, and it's still kind of hard to believe what I saw.
