SHAPE: Descriptions vary from round to wheel-like, but one common thing about the object was observed by several persons in different ways: it had a central nucleus around which were revolving or orbiting lights, balls or flames. TACTICS: Traveled slowly from northeast, stopped and hovered, then flew backwards, then forward, then backwards, then flew straight overhead; the first night it disappeared to the east; the second night it disappeared to the west; both nights, its disappearance gave the impression of a light being turned off. COMMENT: Nucleus of the UFO appeared solid and burning bright red. It pulsated or flickered, but remained constantly bright - almost like a bright red flare, although it did not light up the sky as a flare would. One 14-year-old boy, an amateur astronomer, depicted the UFO as "four very bright objects, in a circle around a central point (revolving) at about 20 revolutions per minute." A housewife described the strange object thusly: "It looked like a wheel. There was a double row of lights in a circle and it had spokes, also lighted. When we pulled up (in a car) it seemed to be right overhead and I heard a muffled humming, which later faded out." Nobody else reported having heard sounds from the UFO. Oklahoma.
