Something happening over Northwest Arkansas

last night was quite incredible there were many lights over northwest arkansas I was wondering if you were aware of anyone else reporting these events.

It was a good clear night! bright lights that appeared then disapeared starlike points that moved toward and around the big dipper in curved trajectories or just plain spriral shapes. We had five witnesses to it last night .

The brightest of which simply exploded out of a quiet sky and then was as bright as the moon! Five of us watched as it came closer to us then dimmed curved away and then got quite bright again then vanished.

there were starlike pinpoints comming from every direction towards an area just north and west of the big dipper where they would disapear.

there were at least seven seperate strange sightings by us alone last night. as soon as one would dissapear another would show up. they all seemed to be heading to a central point that we couldn't see in the area just north and west of the big dipper! thanks for hearing my shout out!
