On Sunday, April 5, 1998, Ms. Kathy D. and her stepdaughter were driving south on Highway 9 in Louisiana, from Junction City on the Arkansas state line to Homer, LA. when they spotted something unusual in the sky. "We noticed a strange reflection in the sky," Kathy reported. "At first I thought this was the sun reflecting off an aircraft. But after looking at the object I could tell it was no airplane. It was a sphere, that I at first believed was a weather balloon. But when it began to move randomly, I knew that it was not a weather balloon." "I pointed it out to my step-daughter, and we both watched it disappear." "In a matter of ten to fifteen seconds, the object reappeared ahead of us...It moved away from us, turning toward the left and traveling at what seemed to be great speed. It then disappeared again, and we didn't see it again...I have never witnessed anything like this." (Thanks to Tim Hagemeister of NACOMM for this report. And UFO Roundup #14, Joe Trainor editor.
