Reported: 1998-11-22 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 2-3 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: North Little Rock, AR, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

massive triangular craft--forward moving sides had spaced lights, non-blinking--back side unlit--with almost opaque shadow quality of color--even for night. About height of low flying plane, but massive in size -slowmoving, very steady and absolutely no sound--moving from northwest to southeast. Not usual flight plan for local military or non military bases.

Had gone outside just before 2am in hopes of seeing remnants of the Leonid meteor event of the 16th and 17th--and unable to see any. In searching the sky my first thot was seeing a flock of geese as moving objects in a V formation began to be visible... the 'objects were at fist visible as tho separate-but lighted --- obviously not geese, but in that type of formation. As it approached slowly, keeping its shape I realized it was a craft of massive triangular size; the V-shaped forward moving sides were lighted--steady,spaced, white lights--almost like lightbulbs.The back side of the triangle was unlit--and the craft itself had an almost opaque shadow quality of color--even at night, that was more discernible as it passed beneath some brighter stars and away from the street lights. It appeard to be flying at about the height of a low flying plane, but much more massive in size than a plane would be of the same height. It moved somewhat slowly, very steady and with absolutely no sound. Moving from northwesterly to a southeasterly direction. This is not the usual flight path usually observed in this area for local military or non military bases. An airplane traveling at a similar height observed three days later, at the normal size visible at that height, appeared much smaller and made tremendous sound. It's an image that stays vividly in mind. I grew up in the air force, and lived on base much of that time -- and observed a lot of planes coming and going, and I am aware it could very well be a military craft, possibly not well publicised--but its size, lack of any sound and the pace at which it was moving were out of the norm usually visible in this area. Is there currently a stealth-type craft that would fit this description? And how would I find out if there actually was one in this area on that morning?
