Occurred: 1993-07-01 22:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 1998-03-29 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 4-5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Oklahoma City, OK, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

2 triangle craft over OKC. 1 travled N to S. 2 traveled W to E. The craft were very high, could only see their shape with binoculars. Each had six lights down the side of the craft.

I was out sky watching with binocular when I saw two lights very high and relativly close together in the sky. It was a clear night and the visability was excellent. I got my binoculars on the object traveling north to south first and as I was facing east the object was traveling from left to right in my field of view. I quickly noticed approximatly 12 white or yellow lights, 6 running down each side of the craft in a V or triangular shape. I almost could not believe what I was seeing. There was this V shaped craft that had to be huge considering how high it was. Without the binoculars I could have easily just passed the lights off as airline traffic. But the craft were were large enough to easily make out the triangle shape with binoculars. Especially when I began to look at the other craft, which actually still closer to me than the one heading south. The second craft was heading east and was moving directly away from me, giving me a perfect view of the V shape. And I would have to say that a V is a better discription of the craft than triangular because the craft seemed longer rather than wider. Each craft proceeded in a slow steady manner and I remembered thinking how can these two ships be flying over OKC and there seemed to be no other planes up and interested in them. I also thought that two identical craft passing each other the way they were was odd, almost like they were mapping something. I watched the two craft for 4-5 minutes before both were completly gone from view. I wanted to call someone about the incident but never did. I did report the sighting some months later to the local MUFON chapter but they never made a report either.
