Sphere over Tulsa, OK

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I am a 52-year-old researcher/data collection specialist. I was sitting with my 78-year-old mother and 13 year old son on our back porch. I was looking to the southeast and two green glowing orbs appeared from behind a neighbor’s roofline. From my prospective, they appeared to be glowing green orbs with a barely noticeable silver edge around one edge of the green glowing circle; as if a sliver of the side of the object was observable. The silver part seemed solid like it was metal. It is clear that they were several miles away. They were also very high up. It was a hot hazy day with hazy clouds high in the sky. The objects were clearly observed being obscured by the clouds at times. The two orbs stayed the same distance from each other throughout the observation. They moved much quicker than an airplane but the movement was steady; not jerking around like perhaps a laser pointer might look. The orbs were heading towards us and the closer they got, the more obvious the details became. It also was more obvious that the objects were very high up. Once overhead, my perception was that they were not very big, maybe the size of a car. At no time did we hear any sound coming from them. A middle aged couple was out for a walk and noticed my family looking at the sky. They turned around and I asked them to look for the lights. They saw them too. We all stood and watched the lights move quickly but steadily towards us and over the house until we could not see them anymore. My son said that right before they disappeared from our view, they circled each other. This is the only observation that they broke the formation that we observed throughout. My son is the only one who saw them circle each other.

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.

I enjoy coffee every morning while watching the sky. I look for different celestial objects and the international space station. I even have an app that helps me understand what I am seeing. On the morning of October 20th at approximately 6:45am I was stargazing and enjoying the view of Jupiter. Suddenly 3 lights appeared in the western sky between Jupiter and the horizon from my vantage point on my front porch. The 3 lights were moving North in a triangle formation for about 1 minute. I tried to grab my phone to record, but when I looked back up 2 of the lights had disappeared and then the 3rd light disappeared. The lights did not fade or leave a trail. It’s as if the lights were snuffed out.

They moved too fast to be a jet and did maneuvers we've never seen. It was 3 but one after the other coming from different directions but all landed in the same area. It would stop and hover, move diagonally, straight down and up before disappearing as it decended to the ground. One came south to north, the second west to east and the third, north to south.

I recorded for 6 minutes but it did not come across in video, I've attached anyway in case you can do something with it for them to show up. They had no real group formation but appeared to drop closer to earth and then might move in a north westerly direction. Some would leave our view as others would drop in closer. There was obviously more because as they moved about others would appear in different area of the sky in that area. There was a southwest airline airplane that passed under them and through them that might have some video of it. As the closer objects spin there was some notice of an outer edge that would become visible. I will not character them as having lights, they were a large glowing light, very bright to have been in the daylight. I referenced them as changing shape but they were mostly round with an edge that was visible at times changing their appearance.
