NUFORC Sighting 172414

Occurred: 2022-10-21 22:29 Local
Reported: 2022-10-22 18:10 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Oklahoma City, OK, USA
Location details: East of I-35, then south of Kilpatrick Turnpike

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

At least three flashing lights on a single craft (shape not seen), relatively large, unlike any other aircraft I see regularly.

I saw this on a drive back home from my parents' house in Edmond, OK to my apartment in downtown Oklahoma City. During this drive I drove on three separate highways, first I-35, then Kilpatrick Turnpike, then Broadway Extension. This craft immediately struck me as odd, for it did not resemble any other airplane or helicopter I had seen before in the night sky (the sighting began about 10:29 and lasted roughly 10 minutes). I tried to capture it on film, but no real detail was able to be seen, as I was driving and could not easily zoom or maneuver my iPhone camera. There were at least three, but perhaps up to five flashing lights that did not all flash in unison (almost giving a sparkling effect, although they were no doubt lights). The lights were red, green, and warm white (green in particular struck me as an interesting color, as it is not common on aircraft but had been seen by others in UFO sightings over OKC and Edmond before). The craft seemed remarkably large, but I could not hear any detectible noise (I was in the car though) and seemed to move slightly faster than I would expect a craft to move (perhaps it was very low?). It first moved along the west side of I-35, then turned southwest as I turned west onto Kilpatrick Turnpike. I was fully expecting to find a plane or helicopter on the tracking website but nothing showed up that followed that path at that time. This is my first ever sighting that I felt worth reporting. I cannot confirm this was not just a plane, drone, or helicopter but the fact that I could not find it on the tracking website seemed suspicious enough to warrant a report.
