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

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155249). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

Saw the first craft pop up on the east side of Lawton, zoom all the way out to the wichita mountains range and back, in a matter of about 4 seconds. Then we saw the others. They took turns very vastly zooming back and forth for about 2 minutes when we saw one of them come to a complete stop, shoot straight up, and then they were gone. They sounded very loud like helicopters but very noticably were not. Had flashing lights that kind of remind you of police lights one light was red and the other was either blue or white. The trip made was roughly 50 miles each way, and only took about 4 or 5 seconds to make the round trip.

Lawton, OK
Linear light formation of 20. It started at just 3 lights moving east across the sky with 17 additional light appearing following the formation with a distinct gap between the 5th and the 6th. Started disappearing one by one in the same spot in order. Seemed flying closer than the stars. Brighter than the normal satellites.

Around 1:30 a.m., I was outside star gazing and just happen to see a sphere shaped light fly across the sky and disappear into thin air. This took place on Meiling Drive.

My daughter and myself were walking the trail at the park mid day. We were headed east when we saw a bright flash to the north over the mountains on Ft. Sill. The thing was oval, bright yellow, and super shiny. It was almost holographic in its brightness. We watched it travel from about 100 feet off the ground all the way above the skyline and higher. Then it disappeared. We waited a few minutes scanning the sky but it never reappeared.
