UT006: Analysis of Samples Related to a Fire in England, Arkansas (March 9, 2000)
From The Black Vault Encyclopedia Project

Background/Objective
An unusual fire occurred on March 9, 2000 in Pulaski County, Arkansas. The fire was unusual in that the burn area was ca. “a mile-long, 150 yard-wide area of intermittent fires; in some burning areas the fire was reported to be excessively hot and burning with a sparkly effect. ” There were reports from various witnesses of such things as explosions and aerial light phenomena. A number of people who were on-site were interviewed and seemed to feel the fires were “bizarre”. 20 samples of ash and soil, which included controls, were examined to determine the cause of the fire. Some possibilities that were suggested include: illegal methamphetamine lab having blown up; 2) multiple meteorites; 3) misfired missile from the Little Rock Air Force Base; 4) plane wreckage (though there was no debris or report of a missing plane). Other observations were that a crop duster had been at work in the area; a power Plant (White Bluff) is 5 miles SE of the site; The US Natural Center for Toxicological Research is about 7-8 miles SE of the site. These sources could have contributed unrelated contamination to the fire debris. The following two photographs were submitted with the samples.
