No of observers: 2

Location: Hampton, AR, USA

Shape: Fireball

It was a orange ball several thousand feet in the sky.

We were coming back from fishing, when we came to a farm. I looked south out my window and I said dad what's that!! It was a big orange ball in the sky. I dont know maybe several thousand feet in the sky.

My dad said: I don't know what it is! At that time a group of trees in the field. Dad said we'll stop and look when we get past these trees. We stopped but the orange ball was gone! I didn't see it speed away but it was not there anymore! At the time of the sighting there was a comet you could see in the sky. I personally don't believe in aliens from outer space but I don't have an idea what it was!

Thanks for listening!
