Light over Fay, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My family and I were traveling west on US-270, we observed a large bright light to the southwest. We then observed a smaller light move from the larger one at a high rate of speed moving north/northwest. We pulled over and watched as 8 more for a total of 9 smaller lights flew to the north/northwest at very high speeds. Some of the smaller light would change in brightness. Shortly after the 9th light we began to observe known aircraft in the same vicinity as the smaller lights, they also were flying in at a high rate of speed in the same direction as the lights. The whole event took place over a 30 minute period. Aircraft that seemed to pursue the unknown lights came from the east overhead toward the west.

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.
