UFO seen in Oklahoma City identified as meteor

Summary

A witness in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, reported a green oval-shaped object the size of a basketball at arm's length. The object left a vapor trail 25 feet long and moved in a straight path for three seconds before disappearing behind an obstacle. Although it might initially seem like an unexplained phenomenon, the data align with typical meteor characteristics. The description, duration, and flight path convinced analysts that it was a meteor, not an unidentified object. This case is an example of how astronomical phenomena can be mistaken for UFO sightings, especially when the observation is brief and visual.
