Location: Tulsa, OK, USA

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby

While F-16s took off from TUL, a white disc/cloud object accelerated and disappeared on horizon.

I am a aircraft ground handler at Tulsa International Airport (KTUL). Between 14:27 and 14:33, I was servicing a plane parked on the B terminal, when I heard the local Air National Guard F-16s taking off. I watched the lead aircraft rotate on Runway 36R heading North and then a small white disc- shaped cloud above the airport caught my eye.

The "cloud" began to accelerate to the east from a stationary position at a high rate of speed until it disappeared from my vision.

4 F-16s in total took off and circled the airport for aproximately 30 mins, then landed and taxied back to the Air Guard base.

2 had local Oklahoma 138th FW tail markings and 2 had Ohio 180th FW markings.
