A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was traveling north on hwy 59 in Heavener, Oklahoma when the sighting occurred A large blueish white light appeared in the sky towards the west. I started to point out what I thought was a falling star at the same time as my friend was asking me if I saw the light. We quickly realized it was not "shooting star" it appeared to stay stationary for about 30 seconds, then the light appeared to accelerate toward the ground and vanished. This light/object was very large, We saw planes shortly after, and the lights on planes at a mile away were just tiny flecks of light compared to the object we witnessed

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.
