MUFON field investigator reports double sphere UFO over Pinnacle Mountain

An Arkansas field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) reports a silent, slow-moving object with "no observable navigation lights or wings" that was "10 miles east of Pinnacle Mountain" at 7 p.m. on October 5, 2010, according to testimony from the MUFON witness reporting database.

"The object appeared to be a double sphere with a mirror like metallic surface," the witness stated. "It was at about 30 degrees from the horizon just above the trees behind my house. I observed the object for about 30 seconds trying to determine what it was and could not."

The investigator ran inside to retrieve a video camera, and upon returning back outside, the object was gone.

The object may have also been observed over Little Rock.

"It first appeared about 10 miles east of Pinnacle Mountain heading directly toward the city of Little Rock. If it continued on its course it would have passed over the city of Little Rock very shortly after 7 p.m. "

Pinnacle Mountain is located just northwest of Little Rock, Arkansas.

The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Arkansas MUFON State Director Norman Walker investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

AR, October 5, 2010 - I double sphere with a mirror like metallic surface. MUFON Case # 25706.

I was walking my dog when I spotted an object moving slowly south at almost exactly 7 PM on October 5. Being a MUFON field investigator, I frequently check the skies for unusual objects.

This object was moving very slowly with no sound and had no observable navigation lights or wings. The siding was at sunset that the object was high enough to be in sunlight. The object appeared to be a double sphere with a mirror like metallic surface. It was at about 30° from the horizon just above the trees behind my house.

I observed the object for about 30 seconds trying to determine what it was and could not.

I ran for my house which was about 100 yards away to retrieve my video camera, but when I returned the object had disappeared. It first appeared about 10 miles east of pinnacle Mountain heading directly toward the city of Little Rock. If it continued on its course it would have passed over the city of Little Rock very shortly after 7 PM.

The only thing that I can think of other than a UFO that might have presented itself in this manner would be two mylar balloons. There was no surface wind to make the balloons move, but I have no idea if there were wins at altitude. I had no reference points for determining altitude, distance, or size. I had no reaction to the object other than surprise.
