1997-08-01 - Norman, OK - Sphere

White dot of light moved at right angles, stopped, then sped off sooo fast, no sonic boom

In the Fall of 1997 I was on a camping/fishing trip with friends. There was limited space inside the camper so I opted to sleep in my truck bed on a cot. Around 4am I was staring at the sky (satellite watching) and saw a dot of light larger than what I was expecting to see. Thought it might be the space station but then I thought it was way to big for that even.

The dot of light was moving slow and steady in single direction in what I thought was space and when it approached cloudcover I thought it would be gone behind the clouds. It kept going “under” the clouds. This startled me as I realized it was not in space but below clouds. It then stopped. Just stopped. For about 20 seconds then began moving again at a right angle to the previous direction. (the original direction was left to right across sky. After stopping and starting again it was going down) Suddenly, it took off in an entirely different direction at such a high speed it could have been a shooting star. It was gone. There was no noise, no sonic boom which I would of suspected at that rate of speed.

NOTE: I was not intoxicated and I am actually a non-drinker to this day.

I am not a ufo believer. I think that all things like this can somehow be a natural occurrence. I don’t believe there are little green men blah blah. That is why I never reported this sighting. However, with the new information popping up on the news about these tic tac ufo’s I thought maybe I should report it as the movement and speed seem so similar to the tic tacs. It was to far to tell if the shape was round or oval but the movement was incredible and bizarre. No blinking lights, just steady light (like a satellite looks with the naked eye) Sighting occurred at Thunderbird Lake (state park) near Norman Oklahoma.
