The Arkansas chapter of MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, will be meeting November 4th, a Saturday, at 10:00 at the Club House of the Cliffs apartment complex in Fayetteville. The turnoff for the Cliffs apartment complex is right on Crossover Blvd, maybe a couple of miles north of the intersection of Crossover and 16.
I'm going to go to their meeting and check it out. They are looking for more field researchers, and I intend on becoming one of those. Surely this will be good for a few articles, maybe in Skeptic or The Skeptical Inquirer.
FYI: Here is an account of a 1977 Arkansas sighting from the MUFON website:
Carroll County Sighting December 1977
Dozens of people saw a triangular-shaped object, possibly as big as a football field, that moved slowly and low in the sky. It was seen over a stretch of at least twenty-five miles of the county, which is located in the Ozark Mountains.
It was, in effect, a mini-wave that lasted two to three hours and occurred over much of the two-thousand-square-mile county. Some of the sightings occurred less than fifteen miles from southwestern Missouri's McDonald County, the site of an impressive UFO flap earlier in the year. McDonald County is just across the state line and a little west.
The Carroll County object was seen as far west as Beaver Lake as it drifted slowly over the towns of Eureka Springs, Berryville and Oak Grove, and vanished northeast into Missouri. The incident startled many people, frightened some and delighted at least a few.
