Floating craft over my neighborhood. I was out side playing t ball with my daughter. I had a feeling of being watched, I killed around didn't see anyone.
I looked up and seen a large white colored cigar shaped ufo in the sky. It was hovering like a helicopter but didn't make a sound and was too large and was very high in the sky. After I looked at it for about 1-2 minutes it started moving straight up.
I could see it for another minute then it was gone. It never made a sound and it seemed like the sound of the traffic on the highway, which is very close to my street. I don't even remember what my daughter was doing for those 3 minutes.
I was so focused on that object, I don't think I even could look away if I wanted too.

extremely fast red/orange orb of light Small red light appeared in the western sky as I was parked. It was traveling faster and lower then a jet and slowly turned orange as it flew south then was so far away its light could no longer be seen.it less then a minute it flew from Moore Oklahoma to Norman and was gone.
I've studied aerospace engineering and to my knowledge we have no aircraft of that capabilities.

Circular object with singular, non blinking, reddish-orange light at front end. Circular object. Looked like bottom of a tin can.
Had a single reddish-orange light that was solid, not blinking. Was headed in northward direction. Light was on north side.
It was partly cloudy and I was able to make out the shape as I passed through the clouds. I think I saw it again a half hour later, going same direction but further east of my location.

Multiple ufo sightings in the past 48 hours, detailed notes and drawings. On March 29th, 2013, me and my girlfriend were driving north on I-35, just south of Moore, OK, when my girlfriend claims there was a motor cycle (single white light) right behind our car, she then claims it disappeared. Almost right after she said that, a very chaotic, unecplainable event started.
After 10 years in the Marine Corps., I learned how to take detailed notes and reports, so thats what I did when I got home. First, there was realy strange lightning all around us, but no thunder, and it seemed to be far away and at a high elevation.
Then, the lightning got lower, brighter, and closer to our car. It was so bright, it was lighting up the whole sky. But it looked different, unnatural, and was completely silent.
The next thing that happened was very scary, and the craziest part of this whole sighting. The sky was filled with strange objects of different sizes and colors. My girlfriend was so freaked out she almost wrecked the car.
There were multiple crafts with with three lights in a triangle shape and red lights in the center pulsating. There were. Small, bright white circles, that zigzaged through the sky.
Some of the small white balls would zoom in, a big black cloud would appear, and the object would zoom away veey fast. One object was really close and looked like about 5 oblong white circles right next to each other, and stoop approximately 15 feet tall. There were HUGE dim white lights that moved slowly through the sky, and appeared to be 5 or 10 miles wide.
There was objects that looked like thunder but had only 90 degree angles and stayed lit for about 5 seconds. There were bolts of lightning that kind of looked like jelly fish and moved slowly across the ground while they stayed lit for about 10 seconds. Next, the aircraft's disappeared and there was a huge mushroom cloud that took up about a quarter of the sky, and a very loud but low and deafening rumble for about 10 minutes.
And wind coming from it so strong! it almost knocked me over. Then, everything ended and was qui! et. We t hen got back into our car and drove home.
The next day, there were the strangest clouds I've ever seen, followed by a tornado warning, not sure if a tornado actualy happened though, but in the same area we were at in Moore the night before. That night, we saw the same strange lightning and about 20 of the same triangle shaped objects. They were go back and forth in the sky.
I showed the neighbors, and called my family. I plan on watching the sky tonight with hopes of recording them. I got multiple videos last night, but really only one good one.
I would have recorded the events in Moore two nights ago, but we were so freaked out we dident even thing about it. I have never before seen a UFO, and swear on everything I love that these statements are 100% true. I don't know what's going on, but I need some answers!.
Full Report Text:
Amber colored formation of lights in eastern sky It was Saturday evening, almost 9pm and a friend and I were talking in the parking lot of a local school. He said, "What is that?" And after a few seconds for him to explain it, I got out of my van and looked. There were three amber colored lights in a triangle formation at approximately 45 degrees from the ground, in the eastern sky and one amber colored light south of the other three.
It was motionless, silent and could not have been a flare or lantern considering the wind was already gusting between 20-30mph as a storm was approaching and it began raining at approximately 5-10 minutes after the sighting.

Eight fiery red lights hang over downtown Moore, Oklahoma, just two days before deadly tornado strikes town. What were those lights hanging in the sky over the city of Moore just a day-and-a-half before the deadly tornado that struck the storm-weary suburb? It was on Saturday, May 18th, at approximately 8:45 p.m.
when the strange lights were observed by this independent journalist. Having spent the afternoon in Norman, a city 17 miles south of my home in Oklahoma City, my five-year old son and I were driving north along Interstate 35 as we approached the exit in Moore for SW 4th Street. As we approached it, where the interstate makes a slight jog to the west, in the sky ahead, somewhere over downtown Moore, or slightly north of it, were approximately 8 faded-red lights.
There was an eerie glow about them and they appeared to hang in the sky or rise slightly. It was mostly cloudy that evening, and slightly windy. Perplexed, and trying to determine if they were flares, Chinese lanterns or even glowing balloons, I kept looking up at them to see if I could make out what they were.
Realizing that this was not a wise thing to do while driving 63-m.p.h.
on a busy interstate, I kept my eye on the lights as I got off at the next exit, for NW 12th Street, just north of downtown. Now that I was on the access road, I pulled onto Pratt Lane, which feeds into the access road just south of 12th. I pulled in front of a house and could still see a few of them.
However, by the time I got my cell phone to take a couple of pictures, I could no longer see them My son, interestingly enough, was captivated by the lights as well, asking his dad what the “light ghosts” were. Good question, son. I dialed *55 and got ahold of the dispatcher with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
I described the lights and where I saw them and she took down the information, saying that while she had not received any reports, she would inquire with Moore Police Department. And curiously, the area where the lights were could have been – Chestnut Avenue and Main Street – is right near the Moore Police Department. And yet, when I called the department the next day – Sunday morning – the dispatcher said they had received no reports of strange, red lights and were not sure what they were.
Researching “strange lights Moore” online, the National UFO Reporting Center had some reports made by witnesses in Moore last spring and summer. One report – almost to the day prior to my sighting – described “yellow-orange circular sighting with ascending lights above Moore, Ok.” That was on May 20, 2012.
And then, on June 26, 2012, a report from Moore refers to a “fireball object in plain view.” And another report that is similar to mine was made in neighboring Oklahoma City. This report referred to “multiple silent red orbs under power over Oklahoma City, approx.
5 min. in duration.” In fact, most of the reports made by witnesses in Oklahoma tend to refer to “lights.
” Because of the EF-5 tornado that blew through Moore on May 20th, we have been unable to get back to the scene in an easy fashion and recreate the scene and try and determine exactly where the lights were hovering and a possible, scientific explanation for what it was we were watching that night. We hope to have more on this report at a later time.
