Elliptical UFO over Tinker AFB

Summary

In September 1950, an Air Force intelligence technician reported an unidentified aerial object near Tinker AFB in Oklahoma. The object, described as elliptical with a diameter of 25 feet, appeared at low altitude and moved rapidly northwest. The observer watched it for three minutes, noting erratic movements and a steady ascent. The amber-colored light without clear edges adds to the mystery of the sighting.

The report was classified and evaluated as unidentifiable, ruling out conventional explanations like balloons or aircraft. Despite favorable weather conditions and no known local air traffic, the object remains unexplained. This document is another example of the thousands of UFO reports reviewed by military authorities during the Cold War.
