White UFO sighted near Tinker AFB in 1963

Summary

In January 1963, a witness in Oklahoma reported a white object moving at high altitude and speed. It was observed without any exhaust or trail, raising questions about its nature. The sighting was made with the naked eye from the ground, 28 miles northwest of Tinker Air Force Base. The object came from the south, circled westward, crossed its own path, and then disappeared to the east. Although the 33rd Air Division was notified, it was not identified as a balloon or aircraft. Weather conditions were clear with 15 miles of visibility, supporting the credibility of the observation.

The report lacks radar data or images, and the observer was not verified. Despite a registered jet in the area, it was not linked to the event. The weather and object description suggest it was not an astronomical phenomenon or a typical weather balloon. This case remains unresolved, added to the Air Force's UFO file.
