Full Report Text:
We had just been released from church and was getting gas at Walmart in Poteau (Murphy's USA), when I looked up and saw two triangle craft just in front of us. I grabbed my camera and took pictures of these craft. Just decided over the last few days to report this sighting.
My wife, son, myself and a Murphy's USA attendant plus other people who were in Walmart parking lot could see the 2 crafts. They hung in the sky for about 10 minutes and then just like turning off a light they disappeared. I will be sending you the picture of this event and maybe you can make heads or tails of it.

Oval lights over north side of Cavanal Hill Poteau Ok August 18, 2013 On the evening of August 18, 2013 after church we stopped at Wal-Mart before going home. After leaving Wal-Mart we looked due west over the north side of Cavanal Hill and saw six oval lights. These oval lights were still and not blinking.
Sought out the worker at Murphy's USA gas station who would know if these lights were normal, since I had just moved back into the area and she said they were not associated with Cavanal Hill. The oval lights just slowly dissipated one by one in uniform. I was able to shoot pictures of the oval lights and will send pictures.

6 reddish/orange lights hovering in sky My daughter and I were sitting outside and observed 6 very big reddish/orange lights that appeared out of nowhere in the sky at approximately 45* from horizon. They stayed in perfect line and seemed to be perfectly spaced as well. All the lights disappeared at the same time after about 30 seconds.
Not believing what we had just witnessed, we went in to get my husband and son. As we were describing what we had witnessed, they appeared again. Same color, formation.
After witnessing the lights the second time, they did not reappear. Directly after the disappearance, 2 jets flew over as if they were trying to catch up to the mysterious lights; and i say this as it is very unusual for jets to be flying at that time of night, especially in our area. Unfortunately, i did not have my camera on hand.
