Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Moved slowly from north to southeast in the northeast part of the sky. Thought it was a shooting star at first but it was big, low and not super fast. Left a smoke trail behind that quickly dissipated. It was definitely burning- orange in color. No sound at all. We followed it until it was out of sight behind the trees.

As I traveled home southbound on highway 75 at around 13:30-1:00am after leaving my job for the night. I could see a bright light so bright I could see it as far as the creek turnpike exit to south 75. At first I thought it was a stadium light because it was so bright. As I crossed through glenpool I realized it was not in the town proper and was near the new St Francis hospital area. There was no sound as I had my window down. It was not a helicopter and sat over the road exiting to Bixby. Other cars had pulled over to watch it and another did a u-turn to head back. I kept traveling south because I saw one to the far right (east) of me further on and another closer one that was moving and pulsing its light to the west. I got out my phone to record the third one and followed its erratic movement. At first the light was so bright on this one it seemed like two colors of fire, blending and meeting in the center. It flew so fast it seemed almost to just appear in places but I was able to keep up with it. It ended by centering over the highway south of my and then flying slowly directly overhead. It was dark but it had enough lights still (they had flared and dimmed) I could see it was round/egg shaped. Between Sept 2019 and the end of Dec 2019 I saw this event approx 4 times to lesser degrees. Every time I have seen this happen it was 3-4 lights in different spots. The only exception to this was the final time when I saw this happen again further south past the Mounds exit over the hill heading south on hwy 75.

Heard very strange noises similar to a frog but much louder and higher pitched across the street and a few houses away. It got closer very quickly, faster than someone could run. It sounded like more than 1 and was in my backyard all of a sudden. My cat started freaking out so I knew something was outside. I felt like I was being watched and I'm not one to get spooked. There is no possible way to get into my backyard. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Driving south on Hwy 75 towards Glenpool at night. It was very clear. The moon was out and stars were beginning to shine. Saw fireworks to my left and right. In the middle high above the fireworks 4 light objects appeared. They looked like stars. They appeared and the formation reminded me of the Big Dipper Constellation. I thought, that's not the Big Dipper, it should be in the North. As I watched, the objects started moving. The 2 in the center moved closer to each other towards a vertical position. The top one started moving towards the 2 lining up vertically. The bottom one was also moving in the same direction as it seemed they were going to line up eventually. The top object reached first, once it did, it then faded and was then gone. Then the bottom object got very close to lining up...it then faded and was gone. Finally, the middle two started moving towards each other vertically from the horizon. Once they got closer, they faded and were gone. I have never seen anything like this before.

We have amended the date above, to reflect a sighting after fireworks on the evening of the 4th of July, but have no way to confirm the date. PD

Follow up on our phone calls -sorry I am late getting this to you. On July 5, 2015, (Sunday) at 4:30 PM CDT, my son and I were hanging up new flags on my flag post. He was hoisting up the flags, so I was looking into the sky, watching them go up. Much to my surprise, right in my line of sight, a UFO was passing overhead. It was traveling from due South to due North at what appeared to me to be a very high velocity. It was snow white with no visible markings or lights. I had a very clear view of it before it disappeared out of my sight. I could clearly see it for about 5 to 10 seconds. If it was the size of a 747, I would estimate the altitude at 2500 to 3500 feet. My gut feeling is that it was much larger than a 747, and was at an altitude of at least 40000 feet. It was traveling at an angle of about 70 percent from the plane of the earth. At speed and angle traveling it looked like it was heading into orbit. To our South was a large bank of white clouds - the north was deep blue clear sky and very clear visibility with no haze or air pollution. After I have had time to reflect on it, I think it may have been cloaked white, while it was in the clouds, and not cloaked to blue in time not to be seen. At rate of speed and angle of ascent, it could not have left the ground more than maybe 10 Miles South of my location. and there are no known airports or military base in that area, It had two short stubby wings in the front, about 10 to 15 percent from the front of the fuselage. These apparent wings were only about 5 to 10 percent of the length of the fuselage. Very short and nothing like I have ever seen before - almost like the were just stabalizers while in flight in the atmosphere, The front of the craft was rounded like a normal plane, The rear was also rounded and only about 25 percent as wide as the front. There was absolutely no tail gear on it that I could discern. HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL, I will be home tomorrow in case you want to call while on air, We spoke via telephone with this witness, and we found him to be quite objective in his description of the object, and seemingly quite sincere. He is a former member of the U. S. military, and we suspect that he is a very good witness. PD

While looking to the eastern sky, early Sunday morning I noticed something odd. There was three distinctive lights horizontally in the sky. At first I thought that they must be stars doing what they do best, even though it was very light outside. I then decided that these pulsating lights were much to bright to be stars when all of a sudden the one on the far right spit out a orange/peach colored light that hastily went off to the south. After watching that happen I went inside telling myself that I was nuts. I don't know how long the lights stayed around for, because frankly putting it, It scared me! I don't ufo hunt/watch or whatever and have never been on this website before. I just wanted to mention this because aircraft don't do that, and as far as I know neither do stars!
