Unknown over Barnsdall, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I deliver papers in the early morning. I had stopped on CR 2400 next to the cemetery and had exited my vehicle to retrieve newspapers from my trunk. Looking back to the East, I observed a black object pass in front of the pleiades constellation moving north at a speed close to which commerical jets fly. The object was large, although I could not make out a shape or approximate distance. I heard no noise, nor observed any lights; just a dark black craft or mass pass across the constellation and continue north until I could no longer make it out.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #112782). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
