I was traveling with my wife home from Friday night dinner in Tulsa, OK. Driving eastbound headed home on the I-44, Will Rogers Turnpike between between NS 225th East Ave in Catoosa, OK and the Verdigris River AKA McClellan Kerr Navigation Channel. There are pecan groves on both sides of the interstate. I witnessed a glowing orb or sphere above the pecan grove east of the river and it was coming in my direction, along side the south side of the interstate. I first thought it was an Army Blackhawk which frequents the area at night but it was too fast and silent. I noticed the speed greatly increase, but in level flight. I told my wife to look up quickly because she was looking at her smart phone. She looked up in time and had the same response I did, wow that does not look right, too fast, multi colored lights, blurry edges, like it was trying to focus but couldn't. I also thought of a kaleidoscope in appearance. It quickly passed to our south or right hand and towards east Tulsa area. My wife turned and looked back as it passed and could still see it, but I could not while driving. I was other vehicles hit there brake lights as if they may have also witnessed this. Most importantly we have a (dash cam) in our 2014 Dodge Durango and recorded this event. In the replay of the video it appears as a white light speeding towards us, its a cheap dash cam and did not show the detail I hoped for. But its all recorded as I witnessed. I have many years in the military and working around military aircraft of all kinds and this was not a publicly known aircraft, in fact I do not honestly believe it to be earthly. The prisms of light and the fuzzy sphere appearance back this up. I will keep my dash cam recordings. Weather was low clouds with a ceiling of roughly 1200ft, no precipitation, excellent visibility to drive. No fog, 70 degrees. In the video it first appears at 21:11:36 hrs/sec. The video I attached is trimmed as it was a long loop in my dashcam but I did keep all full length videos of this evening.
