UFO activity in Northeast Arkansas

Isn't Blytheville AFB in that area? If I remember correctly, Blytheville is the home of a B-52 wing.

About 15 years ago my cousin Billy Joe (and no, I am not making that name up) told me that him and a friend saw a black triangular object flying over their campsite in North central Arkansas (though only the leading edge was lit). My father, who was once in the Strategic Air Command, said that this was probably just a B-52 practicing a low-level run... but who knows?

There is an airforce base in Jacksonville, AR and a Naval Base in Millington, TN.

Bases in Jacksonville and Blytheville - Are there any nukes still in AR?

Oops - edited because the SAC Base: Blytheville / Eaker Air Force Base went civillian in 92.

Looks like the Jacksonville base is mostly a training base for C-130 transport planes.

Supposedly there is a huge weapons cache at Fort Chaffe near Fort Smith, Ark. The base keeps coming up for closing, but it somehow always falls off that list. There is some joint-readiness training that goes on at the base and the DOE has major training sessions at Ft. Chaffee. They have an unmarked plane that practices at the nearby airport/airbase. It's a light blue and there is no tail number and no other markings on the plane. A friend of mine worked for a local car rental agency and had met these DOE people. They're former Rangers, SEALs and Special Forces. The purpose of the unit is to protect the transportation of nuclear materials.

There's a lot of a semi-rig traffic that comes through the area, but I and others have seen a couple of aluminum trailers with no distiguished markings on the trailer or the rig. Not even a DOT number.

Additionally, about six years ago I made a comment to a friend a mine affiliated with the Little Rock Airbase about the train that travels back and forth from Russellville and Fort Smith and I jabbed the comment: "What is it? A mobile weapons platform?" He gave me a serious look and in a low voice asked me: "Where did you hear that?" I told him I heard rumors and stories considering that Arkansas was a first-strike target (it could still be today). The purpose of first strike I was taught was to knock out the other guy's capability to strike back. He never denied the comment nor refuted it.

Interesting, there is also some huge grain silo/cotton gins out by the st. Francis in Marked tree, they are huge and all run down looking, I don't know what goes on out there, but I don't think its used for anything constructive. The second one I saw was pretty close to it. They are very eerie and quite strange looking. Ill snap a pic on the way home today if I can.

Probably has nothing to do with it, but Ive always been fascinated by these things and then seeing the "UFO" near it made me think.

I believe there's a nuclear launch site in Damascus, which is about 35 minutes N-NE of Little Rock. They have the bunker and everything. Physics teacher, who was a member of the Air Force, told me that in High School.

SO is that why they have a speed trap there. I doubt nuclear launch site.

There IS in fact a nuclear silo in Damascus, AR. Now, whether or not it's still functioning is anyone's guess, but there was an accident there that claimed the life of one Air Force member, and hurt several more in 1980. Check out the site below for a more detailed account of the incident.

So how is Mr. Reynolds doing?

All of the Titan II sites in Arkansas have been decommissioned. The missiles and warheads were all removed by 1990, if I recall correctly.

Now that I remember. You are right.

Wow, thats insane.

I've been searching the skys, I also got pics of the abandoned silo/gin thing and Ill get them up this weekend, very eerie indeed, saw it this morn, its huge and has red lights on top of it.

There's a Titan II site for sale near Hamlet, Ark., it's east of Conway on Hwy 64.

www.missilebases.com...

If I had the money to dispose, I would buy it, just for the excavation alone.

I saw a special on a couple that bought a underground silo and converted it into a home. It was some incredible amount of space (like 16000 sqft) and they said that the electric bill was almost nothing.

Humidity was a problem, though. It would make the perfect tornado or bomb shelter. Seems they got it cheap too.

I hate to be a skeptic on this one because skeptics are UNCOOL! Anyways that sounds like a regular plane, blinking white and red lights in a triangular pattern is a plane. I use to have the same problem when I would see something in the sky, but I recently found out my vision totally sucks and I have to wear glasses and so this resulted in me not being able to see the patterns clearly. I'd see what looked like a triangle UFO but was really an aircraft with three lights in a triangle pattern.

Ocourse I could be a DISINFORMATION AGENT! BEWARE!

Arkansas.


HMMMMMMMM?

EAT YOUR WORDS, BUDDY! Be informed, and deny ignorance by denying stereotypes.

Although Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas would be great places to test UFO's or have UFO's because most people would shun from speaking about it due to it being the Bible belt of America. Bible belt suppression of discussion of non-conformity type topics.

Ok. Wait a minute.. Were you in my class too? If so, this is just a kick in the backside. How do you know him?

Well, Wednesday night will be the only night I "close" at work, so I will have the camera ready.

I also, this weekend and this morning have seen two miltary vehicles (Big olive drab trucks that looks like they carry cargo on the back? sorry, Im not a military guy). Might have nothing to do with anything, but I havent seen any military around her in ages.

So where are the pics?

It's not fair. I live in Arkansas and all i've ever seen is a stupid Bigfoot. I wanna see a UFO too

I've got a Nikon Coolpix 3.2 mp, and even with night mode, does not take very good pictures of lights in the sky. They still come out blurry because of the long exposure. You might think about using a tripod, and hope the object is not moving. It wouldn't hurt to carry around a disposable 35mm and take pictures with both. Take a few practice photos and you will see what I mean.

Happy hunting.
