Triangle over Duncan, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was standing on my porch, smoking a cigarette, when I noticed a red light strobing very slowly, heading in my direction, heading east to west. I've lived near the small airport here all my life and have never seen anything like this. I notice it us going along the creek next to my house, but as it gets closer, I notice that I can't hear it and it went right over me very low to the power lines and i could make out the shape it looked like a hang glider but it couldn't be. I tried to take a picture of it when i did my screen on my phone went rainbow like i had held it to a magnet and the camera on it from then on was ruined. i did not get a picture. i ran in the house to get my wife when i brought her outside it had gone to far to see have been looking for it every night since I have not seen it again since that night. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he assured us that the report is a serious-minded statement of what he had witnessed. PD

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.

White circular light moving in what seemed to be a fog on a clear night. It moved across the sky staying as a white circle for a few minutes. It appeared to stop, change shapes, get brighter, then a plume expelled from it. Before the plume happened you could see a perfect circle in the center, inside another circle. There is a moment before the plume that the white light reforms as a triangle inside the circle. Then it started to head away from us and became dimmer. [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Possible]

Long maybe 16 lights on side the same on the other side very uniform in the middle of the lights were longer lights that were spaced. I only wished that I would have had my camera phone, in my 67 years of living have ever seen any like this.
