Light over Oklahoma City (SW OKC/ Moore, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 10:45 we witnessed 4 or more flickering objects circling near the airport...three of the lights would hover for several minutes then resume back into the formation...some lights when viewed through binoculars appeared to be small triangles, some had 2 or 3 flashing strobes only...two had just green and red lights. All were in a circular configuration and at times a triangular formation. The objects at times seemed to come close to each other. Objects could possibly be drones but this close to the airport is highly doubtful. Video by cell phone captured the objects as well as pictures. The night was partly cloudy. Objects were at cloud level. Objects were also viewed through night vision Gen2. No discernible solid craft shape evident other than the light configuration. Pulled up Tar/flight simulator and noticed 2 small military planes circulating the parameters of the airport...the other objects were not shown on radar, not MIL or COM. And they were not identify. Once the clouds started clearing...one object started strobing at a high rate...and shot north at a high rate of speed. The other objects slowly turned off or went out of sight due West over the airport. Approximate sighting last 15-20 minutes. Lastly, the 2 MIL planes continued a circular holding pattern over the airport for another 10 minutes and eventually went due north. Other witnesses said the objects looked like jelly fish or parachutes? We all live near the airport and have never seen anything like this for over 20 years. I will email you video and photos.

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.
