What Happened
At 5:00 a.m., as dawn broke over Edmond, a resident let his dog out before leaving for work and looked up at the sky. He noticed a broad, V-shaped object passing about 45 meters away, at an altitude of several hundred meters. At first, he thought it was a large bird, perhaps an owl, but it soon became clear that it was not behaving like an ordinary bird.
The object was nearly transparent, giving the impression that it was partly disappearing in the dawn light. It moved at fighter-jet speed without making any engine noise, then turned left before vanishing into the morning clouds. The eyewitness said he saw it at a 45-degree angle above the ground and estimated its distance at about 50 yards, or roughly 45 meters.
The observer recorded the sighting with a cellphone camera, but says the video is not clear enough to reveal more details. He hopes that transferring it to a computer and using enhancement software will help him determine whether the object was known technology or an unexplained phenomenon.
A Brief Background
The report was filed with the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), an open database that collects accounts of unexplained sightings from a range of sources. Most reports in the database have not been scientifically verified, but they serve as a basis for research into poorly understood phenomena. In this case, the eyewitness suggests the object may have been a large bird, while noting that the absence of wing movements and engine noise does not fit the description of an ordinary bird.
Why Is This Interesting?
The report stands out for several reasons:
- Partial transparency – An almost invisible object could point to stealth technology or unusual atmospheric conditions.
- High speed without noise – The object was estimated to be about the size of a B-2 stealth bomber, but it made none of the noise associated with fighter jets.
- No visible wing movements – If it was a bird, one would expect to see its wings moving. Their apparent stillness suggests another explanation.
The report remains unverified. The public is invited to await further video analysis or additional accounts from the area.
