Admiring the stars while walking dog, looking up and observed 3 lights with equal distance apart moving quickly and no noise made and there was no wind, complete silence, just moving along the sky. Couldn't tell if I could see the stars through it and the sky is very cold and clear so more than usual amount of stars are visible.

Fastest lights ever seen I saw a beam of light moving faster than I've ever seen anything move before, going several directions, moving in a way no machine could. I thought it may have been lights used for advertising but the directions and speed this was moving in was not only impossible but also wouldn't make any sense.

While on the Will Roger's turnpike from okc to Tulsa: a green light appeared in the west sky such as a star. Then the green light dropped from the sky, similar to a shooting star that moves across the sky. 1 min later, an oval and odd shaped aircraft flew low and towards the drop of the green light.
Aircraft was oddly shaped with odd light around it.

I was out walking the dog. He to look up and a long ways away to the NE of Broken arrow was a VERY bright shiny light. I thought it was a bright star.
As I looked at it for about 5 seconds it accelerated at a speed I have never seen before. As it moved it did not have a tail of light or anything. It just disappeared out of the atmosphere.

Well after sunset traveling west on SR 113 from US 69 I observed two equally sized lights to the (general) west. They stayed motionless from my perspective in the car for at least the fifteen minute drive to my home. I could not see them from my home; I grabbed my wife and we drove back onto the road and west toward Indianola to where we could see them and parked the car off the road and watched them.
The lights stayed in the same position. They looked to be to the west/southwest (between 255 and 270 degrees). We looked through a pair of binoculars (5x30 Bushnell) and it appeared there were colored lights around the objects.
As we started to check the lights out a general aviation plane flew between our position and the lights and it appeared to be at about 5,000 (I'm a student pilot). He could have seen them. Then cloud cover came in and it was hard to tell if they were dimming or not.
Then clouds covered them up. We ended trying to see more. With no movement like that I suppose they may have been two stars, but they seemed far to bright for that and I've never seen stars in that position with that level of brilliance ever before.

Gray triangular aircraft flying low, circular aircraft following. Triangular aircraft flying low to the ground around 10:30 p.m.
Looked like it was landing in nearby field. Then a small circular aircraft was following it about a minute after the first one. It was also flying low.

Approx 40 White lights in single file flying East near Moodys Oklahoma Watched a line of approx 40 lights in sky flying East in a straight line. No noise. No flashing lights.
Each light was directly behind another light. As we watched the string of lights we noticed that the were appearing one by one, appearing to come from above, not from the West, at 357 degrees North then flying East. When lights were first noticed in sky there were already a long line going East.
I began counting from that point and counted approx 40 lights. Each one was spaced out behind one another but were very high in sky. Tried to video with phone but only had a black screen.
Weather was clear with no light interference around.

Three orangish-red lights. Maybe 8 stories above my car hovering made more of blowing noise than propeller noise. Slowly began to move and ascend.
Chased for about 15 min as it changed directions 3 times and each time it turned it stayed perfectly level. No roll or wide turn like an airplane. Have photo.
I'm convinced this was a ufo as I'm familiar with aviation and modern aircrafts and have tried to think of other explanations but cannot. After about watching it head west where I couldnt follow I snapped a pic. About 5 min later an airplane coming from another direction passed and I could hear the propellers I snapped a picture of the airplane and have tried comparing the 2 photos to see a difference in the lights and color.

While stopping at a store outside of Bokoshe Oklahoma, I looked out my car window at the sky and immediately noticed 15-20 lights about as bright as the north star in a perfect line slowly moving to the South. It was amazing. There was no sound or pulsing lights.
They had to be very high in altitude. I got extremely excited when they all moved slowly to the left and faded out fairly fast almost as if they were moving up and away. They were clearly there and my wife also watched it.
If it was military I have never seen that many aircrafts fly that spread out and then fade into the sky like that. These were clearly not any reflection or satellites. Just perfectly round white balls of light in a perfect line, the way the faded out and up gave me chills.
P.S. I have never seen any proof of UFOs or ever really cared, but after today I am pretty convinced.

a string of lights that went on for miles in the West sky, one brighter in front and two at the end. At 6:29 PM, I walked out of my workplace while on the phone, locked the door and started heading to my vehicle. I noticed in the sky a very long line of individual lights, one brighter in the front and two brighter in the back of the line.
It looked like it stretched for miles, then the lights just disappeared. The formation was to the West of me, and the lights were moving South-Southwest. On the way home I called my wife to tell her I saw a UFO, and she had seen something similar and described it to me before I told her about my experience.

3-4 lights and/or round-egg shaped craft near Glenpool Ok, multiple times As I traveled home southbound on highway 75 at around 13:30-1:00am after leaving my job for the night. I could see a bright light so bright I could see it as far as the creek turnpike exit to south 75. At first I thought it was a stadium light because it was so bright.
As I crossed through glenpool I realized it was not in the town proper and was near the new St Francis hospital area. There was no sound as I had my window down. It was not a helicopter and sat over the road exiting to Bixby.
Other cars had pulled over to watch it and another did a u-turn to head back. I kept traveling south because I saw one to the far right (east) of me further on and another closer one that was moving and pulsing its light to the west. I got out my phone to record the third one and followed its erratic movement.
At first the light was so bright on this one it seemed like two colors of fire, blending and meeting in the center. It flew so fast it seemed almost to just appear in places but I was able to keep up with it. It ended by centering over the highway south of my and then flying slowly directly overhead.
It was dark but it had enough lights still (they had flared and dimmed) I could see it was round/egg shaped. Between Sept 2019 and the end of Dec 2019 I saw this event approx 4 times to lesser degrees. Every time I have seen this happen it was 3-4 lights in different spots.
The only exception to this was the final time when I saw this happen again further south past the Mounds exit over the hill heading south on hwy 75.
