A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a long chain of lights. There were approximately 20 small spears of light. Each light was separate but they were very close together, much like what you would see if you laid a pearl necklace in a line. The lights were mostly white but there were other colors as well. This perfect line of lights moved relatively fast and in about 25 seconds was out of my view. I am familiar with birds flying at night. I do not believe that is what I saw. The lights were traveling ESE.

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.

We work early morning hours and me and my 2 coworkers were outside smoking a cigarette before shift started at 4 am. As we were talking I saw what I thought was a bright star dim and fall slowly out of the sky and didn't think anything of it. Continued with conversations until 1-2 minutes later I saw the same "star" pop back up where I saw it fall from so at this point, I tell my co workers what I saw and as I did and we were looking at it, it did it again and we all seen it at that point. It continued the same cycle, falling down and dimming and then 5 seconds later it popped back up where it came from out of no where, at one point one of the lights split into 2 separate lights , we saw a triangle formation, there were 3 lights in a straight line at one point, we also have on video, very bad quality, of what looks like a light moving very fast around something circular.

It appeared like a spining cloud of lights and formed into a V shape... it almost looked like a flauk of ducks but it was lights. Absolutely no sound what so ever. My wife and I watched it until it disappeared. My wife took a photo.

Visiting from Texas and staying in a hotel in Enid, Oklahoma. I heard a pulsating hum outside my hotel window that woke me up. As I awoke, I noticed a greenish glow from outside. I got up and pulled open the curtains and saw what looked like a tube or a bumpy cylinder shaped lampshade. It was moving slowly through the parking lot from my right to left. I was upstairs, 3 rooms from the end, on the east side of the hotel and when it got to the corner of the building it turned left and went around the corner to the front of the hotel. I grabbed my phone and went down the stairs and outside and ran to the corner to get a better look. It was gone. The object appeared to be about 3 feet long and a diameter of about a small lampshade, maybe about the size that a soccer ball could fit in the end of it. It appeared to be solid but hollow in the middle. The light was pusating from inside of the object and was luminating in a haze from the ends. The object was smooth, but had a series of bumps raised on it that almost looked like tree bark. The object was moving slowly but steady from my left to right, south to north. It was directly in my eyeline on the second floor of my hotel, maybe 18 feet in the air.

Before going to bed I had let my pup outside in the backyard. Being a clear night I was checking out the stars/ constellations/ any satellites. I've always been a star gazer and satellite watcher. While looking in the southwestern sky (~ 30° up) what looked like a medium bright star/ satellite proceeded to race across the sky unbelievably fast!!!! (FYI ridiculously faster than a satellite which takes ~ 3 seconds to cross my extended thumb and ~ 60 seconds to cross same amount of sky this object did in only ~ 5 seconds!!!) All I said was "Holy Sh*t!!!!" It stopped on a dime in the northern sky. Then after 20ish seconds it continued this time to the east. I lost it after a few seconds because of a large tree in the backyard. This object looked to be clearly to me outside earth's atmosphere. KPM PS: If it's still posted, I originally reported this on the MUFON website a years ago (as being seen from nearby Lahoma, OK) Only because I really had nothing more to add when contacted and felt odd even reporting, I noticed the MUFON rep responded to my experience as only being it was probably a satellite? BS! Just because I had nothing more to add to a "MUFON investigation" don't refute/ question my report just because I didn't want them coming to my house. I'm educated w a past career (retired) requiring detail and observation when a mistake cost millions to my company.
