2000-03-09 - Timbo, AR - Sphere

My sister and I were heading home after work at about 8:30pm-9:00pm heading somewhat northwest(with my three children and my sisters 3yr. old daughter) when the sky went pure white for a good 3 or 4 second period of time. Understand that it was a beautifuly clear and starry night and when the sky went white all the trees,road,rocks,etc...were completely highlighted in silver.The sky then went completely black for just a moment,then I saw at the top of my windsheild a large black/red ball with red lightening like octopus arms, go streaking directly off in front of us. The sighting of the object again lasted for at least 3 or 4 seconds then disappeared from sight. During this time there was no sound except for the running of my car's motor and the kids laughing/talking in the back seat. After the white light and before the red/black sphere the babies fell completely asleep.

My sister and I are local to the area (we moved to Ar. when we were just kids).We are self employed. We homeschool our children and live as cleanly and organicaly as possible. We were raised to be self-thinkers independant and opinianated in what we see, think, feel and hear. Open minded to all possibilities that the universe may hold.
