Triangle over Tulsa, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw two bright lights in the sky while traveling eastbound on I44 Figured it was a plane that was just facing my direction but they got brighter as I got closer. Seemed like the lights were about 30 feet apart, judging by the rate at which the lights separated as I drove closer. From the highway, looked like it was right over 51st but farther east, so I got off on Harvard and started driving east toward Yale. vIt got bigger as I drove closer, so it looked like it was hovering. As I was about to reach Yale, a third light appeared in between and under the other two, forming the triangle shape. At this point it looked like it was right over 51st and Sheridan, so I kept driving east and rolled my windows down to see if there was any noise; there wasn't. Right about when I got to Hudson, the triangle took off going north-northeast, ramping up speed to maybe 60mph over the course of 10 seconds. As it began moving, the corner lights started blinking in sequence and a few smaller red lights could be seen in between the corners. I hit a red light and couldn't follow. Tried to get a video but it's not really usable. Can only see the lights for a split second as they're moving away and it's unfocused/shaky because I was driving.

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.

Driving towards Utica and saw it fly over 15th St very slowly. Glowing orange oval, watched it until I had to turn right on Utica. Lost sight of it for 10 seconds could not relocate.

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.
