My wife saw what she assumed to be. A crane fly but it’s body was about the size of a regular cigarette with a wingspan of maybe 10 inches. She’s not squeamish about bugs so that is probably close.
Though it is a huge size exaggeration, we suspect she may have seen a Dobsonfly.
I found one of theses in my house (top picture) but it looks totally black. I live in Washington the state which is pretty far from Arkansas.
I am in PA and I just saw three of them. Giant Crane fly. Looked just the picture.
