FAST MOVING BRIGHT LIGHTS SEEM TO COLLIDE IN THE SKY THEN DISAPPEAR

MY SISTER AND I WERE TRAVELING EAST OF INTERSTATE40 FROM OKLAHOMA INTO ARKANSAS WHEN I NOTICED SOME BRIGHT LIGHTS IN THE NORTHEASTERN SKY. I TOLD MY SISTER "THERE'S MARS AND SHE SAID NO, ITS IN THE SOUTHERN SKY!" WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WATCHED WHAT APPEARD TO BE 3 BRIGHT LIGHTS STEAKING ACROSS THE SKY. I SAY STREAKING BECAUSE I'VE NEVER SEEN A AIRPLANE MOVE LIKE THAT! TWO WERE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SKY AND THE THIRD WAS MORE IN THE EASTERN SKY. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ONE IN THE EASTERN SKY "STREAKED" OFF TOWARD THE OTHER TWO AND I SCREAMED AT MY SISTER THAT IT WAS GOING TO HIT THE OTHER TWO! IT TOOKS JUST SECONDS FOR IT TO GET THERE AND JUST AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD CRASH INTO THE OTHER TWO THEY ALL DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR! JUST 3 SECONDS LATER THEY APPEARD IN THE SOUTHERN SKY THEN DISAPPEARED. WE'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT AND CHECK THE NIGHT SKY EVERY EVENING NOW. THE NEXT MORNING ON ONE OF THE LOCAL TALK RADIO STATIONS PEOPLE WERE CALLING IN SAYING THEY HAD WITTNESSED THE SAME THING.

I WAITED ABOUT POSTING THIS LONG BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW THIS SITE EXISTED TILL TONIGHT WHEN I DECIDED TO LOOK UP UFO'S IN THE FORT SMITH, AR. AREA.

NUFORC Note:

Date of sighting is approximate. We wonder whether the witnesses might have been observing advertising lights. Absent that possibility, we do not know what it was they witnessed. PD
