SIGHTING: BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"The weather was fair & dry. I was driving south on state highway 69 at the city limits of Batesville. As I was driving down a steep hill, I noticed what I thought was a private jet headed east as it crossed above the highway. I remember thinking that the craft was flying extremely low for a jet plane. It appeared to be somewhere between 500 feet-one mile up.It appeared to be a light color. Once it crossed the highway it suddenly made a sharp turn to the left which would have been difficult for any aircraft to make. I turned off highway 69 & turned left on to highway 25 headed east. The craft had gone above some hills and was about a mile away when I was able to view it again. At this time it was stationary and was at a higher elevation. It was difficult to watch it very long. I was wanting a better look at it, so I turned left off the highway. However when I started looking for the craft again it was gone. I remember I was very curious about the nature of this craft. I didn't think it was like anything I had seen that low in the sky. I have seen cylindrical objects before in this area, but they were always at a higher altitude. I would estimate the total time of sighting was approximately five minutes. "
