Circle over Guymon (west of), OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were travelling West out of the panhandle of OK into NM. We were still in OK when we saw a white ball hanging in the sky. The sun was setting and the round object never moved. We drove on at 70+ mph, and ended up stopping twice, about 30 min. apart, to observe it with binoculars and take pictures. As the sun went away, the object turned orange and then grey against the night sky, but always seemed to be the same distance away from us. It was not riding the air currents or moving in any way.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #113890). 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.
