UFO seen as sunspots in Oklahoma City

Summary

An electronics technician in Oklahoma City observed in 1959 what appeared to be dark spots with protrusions in the sky. The witness was using a welder's filter to look at the sun and described the spots as the size of a pinhead at arm's length. Although initially intriguing, investigators concluded that what was seen were nothing more than solar sunspots. The observation lasted from sunrise to sunset, and the slow, spiraling motion of the spots confirmed they were not flying objects, but natural astronomical phenomena.

The classified report from the time, part of Project 10073, was evaluated by military and scientific experts who ruled out the possibility of an unidentified object. The use of the welder's filter allowed the observer to see solar details that are normally invisible, explaining the unusual appearance of the spots. This case is an example of how natural phenomena can be misinterpreted as unexplained, especially when viewed through unusual tools.
