Arkansas Under the Sky: A Regional Chronicle of UFO Sightings Across the Centuries

To the point

Arkansas’ UFO history runs from 1639 to 2023, tying Winthrop’s great light, 19th‑century Hot Springs airships, 1897 sightings of J. F. Floyd and Jim Hooten, 1960s reports with Bill Estep and Randy Feemster, and more than a thousand National UFO Reporting Center records into a regional mystery, with explanations ranging from satellites and drones to weather and many cases unsolved—drawn from History.com, encyclopediaofarkansas.net, Arkansas State Archives, and MUFON.
