Unknown over Shawnee, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was sitting outside looking up at the birds and just enjoying the day as it was a beautiful sunny day. As I'm looking up I see an object appear and is reflecting or flashing in one spot. I hollered at my wife to look as well as it was very high. It then moved to the southeast at a slow rate and would appear to stop occasionally. Still reflecting. It then kept moving southeast and went at a higher speed. Kept getting further away and was reflecting more and was still watching it. As it was getting harder to see due to the distance it did appear to stop again. Lost sight as it moved away. Tried to get binoculars to see it but that did us no good. I was amazed that it was changing speeds versus a satellite moving at the same speed. Also pulled up to find out the location of the space station at that time and it's in the southern hemisphere. So I feel we saw a UFO. Was extremely weird to see.

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.

My wife took the dog out into the back yard and seen a bright whitish light in the yard next door, she thought it was a helicopter looking for someone cause of the sound, but it had no blade wash and the trees were still not like from a normal helicopter being that close. As she rounded the corner of the garage to see what it was, she yelled for me to come out. She said it was hovering close to the ground and rose up to above the trees when I got out there. There was a black triangle shaped craft as big as house with lights on each corner that was moving above the trees and It slowly traveled westward and up into the clouds. It was an overcast night with low clouds with a glow of the city lights. We both seen it was no helicopter and was clearly a black triangle with lights on the corners.

After fireworks ended for the night, my brother, sister and I were sitting out by the pool on lounge chairs. In the distance I noticed a weird disturbance in the air about 200 ft off the ground, and coming in our direction. It was either really shiny.. like the chrome bean in Chicago, or it was see through. It made almost no noise, just a whooshing sound as it went over very slowly. I never said anything to my brother and sister, until it was over us.. We all were silent and watching it go over us. It proceeded to move from west to east at a deliberate speed until it disappeared.

My family and I have been seeing a reoccurring UFO for the past week. We've seen it on three different occasions now between the hours of 2-5 AM. The first time we saw it was on Sat, Oct. 22, 2016 at approximately 3:30 am. Then we saw it a second time a couple nights later and once again a third night, Oct. 27, 2016, at 2:30 AM. The object is a circular shape and has multi-colored lights on it. The lights do not blink, but are solid. It moves erratically and quickly. Very quick. We actually witnessed two on the third night and they seemed to meet and one of them disappeared. There was also at one point what seemed to be a tiny red light circling the UFO. The object also seems to disappear as it ascends higher into the sky, yet it comes back down. I live on the south side of Shawnee, right down the street from Firelake Grocery. The object appears to be Southeast of Shawnee, more towards Seminole. It seems to stay there for hours and there's also no sound. The quality's not that great, but here's a link to some footage I took. Best I could do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAvW4FLC10w&t=301s We suspect a "twinkling" star, possibly Sirius. PD
