Appearance / Description of Object(s)

When we first observed it, it was like a large star, just a white light. But it was moving in a straight line toward us and had no flashing lights or other conventional aircraft lighting. As it came closer we could see it was circular, or saucer-shaped, with three large lighted segments underneath, blue, yellow and red. It was surrounded by a thin, white haze. It was a clear night and we could plainly see it, but we couldn't see the color of the disk itself.

Size of Object(s)

Slightly over 100 feet in diameter.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

At first it was several miles away. Before it vanished it was 200-300 feet in altitude. Very close.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was a rural setting. The nearest military base is Tinker Field, about 25 miles away.

Full Description & Details

My brother and I were riding a motorcycle near the Rambling Hills addition north of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. We spotted the object at a great distance to the north, and it approached us rapidly. Even far away it was obviously not a conventional aircraft. We started back to our home north of Danforth Road and Western Avenue with the object pursuing us. When we arrived at the house it slowly drew closer. The object was circular (saucer-shaped) and surrounded by a sort of haze. It had three pie-shaped lighted segments underneath, blue, yellow and red. The colored segments were unlike anything I had seen, resembling the light emitting diodes of today. The object was roughly two and a half times the size of the largest private aircraft. It descended to within 200 or 300 feet of us and made no sound. It did not fly away, it simply vanished. It was obvious to us that we were being observed, and at that time the area had a low population and we encountered no other road traffic.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Not at all! It was obviously a manufactured object, and just as obviously utilized technology and an understanding of physics unattained by man even now.

Witness Background

I was in junior high school when this happened (on summer break). Graduated Edmond High School May, 1972. Graduated University of Oklahoma May, 1976, bachelor of arts in journalism. Attended Oklahoma City University School of Law one year after that. I worked as a news and advertising writer, printer self employed for nine years and over the road driver for 13 years. I have been retired since 2002.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before the sighting I understood it was possible for advanced, intelligent beings to exist and to travel in space. I was 14 when it happened--I'm 52 now. Since then I've known UFOs are real, but haven't made a subsequent observation like that.

Other Comments

My brother and I discussed our experience a couple times since then, the last time in recent years, and he, like I, remember this event as if it had happened yesterday. My brother passed away in December, 2004.
