On the evening of May 1st, around 10:00 PM local time, a quiet night in Owasso took a strange turn when a lone witness reported seeing an unidentified flying object gliding silently across the sky near the Tulsa Tech campus.
The sighting, documented by the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), describes a dark, rectangular object — roughly the size of a large van or box truck — moving slowly at an estimated speed of 20 to 30 mph. The object, viewed from the ground at an approximate elevation angle of 30 degrees, appeared to travel from north to west, passing over the highway and heading toward a nearby church.
“There were no clouds, no wind,” the witness noted. “At first, I thought it was a plane moving through a cloud, but then I realized the sky was completely clear.”
What stood out to the observer was the object’s peculiar shape and behavior. Described as resembling a “very large cloak or sheet,” it had rigid, unmoving wave-like patterns — a solid black or dark gray mass that contrasted sharply with the night sky. There were no lights, no noise, and no apparent propulsion system. It was only faintly visible, illuminated indirectly by lights from surrounding commercial buildings.
Adding to the intrigue was the presence of a nearby aircraft at the time, though no connection has been established between the two.
This sighting adds to a growing number of unexplained aerial phenomena reported across the American Midwest — a region long associated with mysterious encounters in the sky. While NUFORC has not issued any formal analysis yet, the case remains open.
Is it a secret military drone? An optical illusion? Or something beyond our current understanding? One thing is clear: the skies over Owasso held something unusual that night, and the mystery is far from solved.
