SIGHTING: HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was in a parking lot cleaning up after a music festival when someone came on the walkie talkies and told everyone to look up. (i was told later that someone heard a boom or explosion sound prior to this which prompted people to look up) above us somewhere below the clouds but still pretty high were hundreds of twinkling lights floating slowly upward. many seemed to revolve around each other. someone remarked that they were fireflies but they were far enough away that they had to be much much larger than fireflies. they resembled birds or bats more than anything but moved slowly and were constantly blinking lights. the lights were a lot like led lights. eventually they straightend out into a straight line as they passed overhead, getting higher and higher as they moved away. there were people all over that were watching this. there were maybe 15 people in that parking lot, but people all up and down the street (many were leaving bars as the hour was pretty late at night) were watching this and commenting on it. people were trying to take photos and videos but the lights weren't showing up on people's screens.
