As reported

Unknown over Oklahoma City, OK

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

The report, as filed

I saw this on a drive back home from my parents' house in Edmond, OK to my apartment in downtown Oklahoma City. During this drive I drove on three separate highways, first I-35, then Kilpatrick Turnpike, then Broadway Extension. This craft immediately struck me as odd, for it did not resemble any other airplane or helicopter I had seen before in the night sky (the sighting began about 10:29 and lasted roughly 10 minutes). I tried to capture it on film, but no real detail was able to be seen, as I was driving and could not easily zoom or maneuver my iPhone camera. There were at least three, but perhaps up to five flashing lights that did not all flash in unison (almost giving a sparkling effect, although they were no doubt lights). The lights were red, green, and warm white (green in particular struck me as an interesting color, as it is not common on aircraft but had been seen by others in UFO sightings over OKC and Edmond before). The craft seemed remarkably large, but I could not hear any detectible noise (I was in the car though) and seemed to move slightly faster than I would expect a craft to move (perhaps it was very low?). It first moved along the west side of I-35, then turned southwest as I turned west onto Kilpatrick Turnpike. I was fully expecting to find a plane or helicopter on the tracking website but nothing showed up that followed that path at that time. This is my first ever sighting that I felt worth reporting. I cannot confirm this was not just a plane, drone, or helicopter but the fact that I could not find it on the tracking website seemed suspicious enough to warrant a report.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172414). 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.

Oklahoma City, OK

Flying a corporate jet at 43000 feet on a 290 heading. First saw several lights (usually 2 turning circles or zipping up and down diagonally but sometimes up to 4) at extremely high altitude at great distance at our 10-11oclock over Oklahoma City. So to the southwest of our position. These lights came in and out of sight at about 5 minute intervals for approx 1 hour. Also varied in brightness from very bright to dim with no apparent pattern to that. Always staying in exactly the same place in our windshield so they paved us for at least 400 miles.

Where the wings should be ,they looked to be spinning quickly. Along with a jerking movement at the same time.They disappeared off to the NE.

That was clearly 6 round orbs in V-formation. It looked like it came up out of the ground, a flying V. It turned right then left very fast. As it flew in front of me I could clearly see that it was 6 round flat saucers flying in a V formation. Then it was gone.

Oklahoma City, OK

Me and a coworker were working Security traffic control when I noticed it floating by about 1/2 mile or less to our West. It was a black sphere with no markings on it. I could not hear it. I ran to my coworker and pointed it out, but he was looking too high in the sky. It was at the Horizon level almost. I only saw it for about 30 seconds and that included trying to get my coworker to spot it. Our buildings blocked my view as it traveled south. I'm kicking myself for not going to our security dept. and getting footage. I know we would have had it, but we only save it for 30 days.

As stated above, I saw the elongated object moving from 2 to 4 o’clock. It was not visible without looking through NVG’s. It had no lights. When comparing it to the planes in the airspace around it, it was very large. Bigger than 3 777’s. When it got to the 4 o’clock position it faded away quickly. The skies were clear.
