Triangle over McAlester, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was noticed moving silently north to northwest. Triangle shaped, with smaller part of triangle in front, wider at back. No flashing lights. Just very bright red in front and orange toward back, possibly orange flames. One observer was a nurse, the other a mechanic. It was observed continually until it was out of sight.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #114778). 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.
