Triangle over Keota, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Hello, I was walking out to our shop at 10:30pm CST because I saw the lights had been left on in the back of the building. While walking back to the building, I heard a low rumble and expected to see an aircraft overhead. I saw a large triangle shaped vehicle directly overhead. At first I thought it was at about 2000 ft agl, but I noticed the rumble noise was trailing the vehicle so I think it must have been higher. This object was against a clear moon lit sky and was black and easily defined in shape. It had bright white lights at each of the three corners with a pulsing red/white light in the center. I am a commercial pilot and can identify aircraft easily. This aircraft did not have the standard red/green indicator light. I was heading on a straight northerly heading and as it past I saw what appeared to be a extension, like a drogue line with a pulsing red/white light, so I was thinking it might be a military aircraft refueler. But as it continued on its heading, I watch as the extended object began to rotate around and above the object and it remained in that position until over the horizon.

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.
