I'm a truck driver traveling East on I-40 about 20 miles west of Prescott, Arkansas, noticed something in the sky it come right to left then stopped then went from shot straight up in the air and stopped, then shot left again and stopped then shot straight up and disappeared. Got 3 pictures manage to get stocked when I seen what this was going on on the side of the interstate not sure what it was.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))

The object I observed not quite sure what it was it had red and white lights it was really bright white light with like a tail behind it like a comet and it stopped and just stood in place for a few seconds like a helicopter and all of a sudden it's shot back from the right to the left again for approximately I don't know I guess a few miles stop steel again and then shot straight up and disappeared at first I thought it was a falling star when I first seen it but a falling star does not stop in mid-air and start over I sent you three pictures I hope you got them was not the clearest pictures but one of them you can see the tail behind it again this was 15-20 miles west of Prescott Arkansas on Interstate 40 halfway between Little Rock and Memphis Tennessee I told the other guy that was running with me that start with me to send a report he said he would before the night was out I hope you can make heads or tails out of the pictures I tried to zoom in with his cell phone as good as I could but as I said I'm not the best with technology God bless you and have a great weekend oh I meant to say when it stopped it kind of had a reddish tint to it like a reddish light then turn to bright white light like somebody turned a spotlight on you but it was a long ways away of course it was just not right on top of me but it was a distance and you can tell it was close enough I got that photo

NUFORC Note:

We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be eloquent, sincere, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a very reliable witness. Witness has provided photos, which indicate a lighted object, seen against a dark sky, but the image is blurry, and, therefore, ambiguous. PD
