Just found your sight and saw listed a sighting from Arkansas (4/17/97 22:45 Bismarck/Caddo Valley (between) AR Light 30 seconds Orange burst of light that sped out over the lake).
I also saw this fireball along with my scout troop camping on DeGray lake close to the dam. Looked like a large (very large) fireball traveling I'm guessing from south to north, (been a long time) with long tail and hazy around it.
I and the boys took it as a metor as it streaked across the sky and then burned out or went out. We shook it off as a metorite, but the boys stayed up most of the night talking of UFO's.
The only thing strange about this fireball is the it was big, about the size of a semi truck, (from our point it was about 1500 to 2500 ft away about 100 feet above treeline and traveling horizonaly not down at an angle.
