"What is going on?": The Hidden Events Behind the Midwest Flap

As part of this author's ongoing research for an upcoming book on Oklahoma UFO's (coming out in late July 2020), an opportunity to get the "big picture" of events had proven truly insightful. 

Most people tend to think of the events in their state disconnected from their region or the national picture. A flying craft can cover several states in a matter hours and minutes. Sometimes a sighting that was pretty "ho-hum" in one location and dismissed by the Air Base investigating it as something prosaic moved on and revealed, when flight paths were followed via stories and news accounts, different actions, speed, colors, or maneuvers in another area.

What has seemed for over fifty years, the craziness of one summer in the Sooner State, dismissed and explained away in scientific phrases or tongue-in-cheek reporting - was part of a much larger and more complex set of events. Events that today we still have little explain.

On August 1-2 numerous 'UFO's' zipped and darted through the skies surrounding two high security facilities - at the same time objects of the same descriptions, shapes, and movements were being reported from Mexico to Minnesota and North Dakota and are far northeast as Maine and as far west as Alaska.

One intriguing story of the Wyoming Minuteman Missile Site near Cheyenne is worth the retelling.

In a communication from the Air Force to Colonial Kizer (?), SAC Command Post, the following report was shared..."at 1246 by 15th HQ from Warren (Frances E. Warren Missile Site). Reported to Warren at 1030 by Strike team by Airman 3rd Class Williams and Airman 2nd Class Diviny. They were five miles west of Delta 4 site which is approximately 60 miles ENE of Cheyenne and got within 10 miles of object when the ran out. Through binoculars they reported observing that the object was very large with red and white flashing lights. Lights flashed from red to white and then white to red.  It was oval and not round. It was on the ground, while they observed it it rose 500 ft up to the northwest. They watched for additional 10-15 minutes until it disappeared from sight..."  Response to the message was a question, "NORAD have this." And they reply was the report was being sent to them, as had the other reports.
