Nebraska UFO Sightings in 1985

Full Report Text:

Massive UFO at Union Pacific Bailey Yard UFO Incident at Union Pacific Bailey Yard I was working The East Hump helper (switchman) on August 16, 1985. My job was to line the Hump Engine thru a clear track .then get around train at west end.

then line switch to proceed to the hill. If Yardmaster said go 8-4. You would send engine west thru 8, and then line 4 to the hill.

At around 6:00 PM .I was waiting in Pinner’s Shack (located between Tracks 4 & 5) at East End to Climb on Train being Shoved at 5 mph by hump engine. Suddenly the Speaker went off and front chair yardmaster was yelling Do you see that? Do you see that? The ground was shaking and I came out of the Shack and to my Astonishment, when I looked Up a saw a huge Rectangular Craft.

It was Massive! It was 400 yards wide by 800 yards long in fact it almost covered the whole East Receiving Yard which is about a mile and a quarter in length. It was Black and light Silver in color and about every 50 ‘ or so there were round turrets on it. I believe this UFO was interested in the Train Movements because Union Pacific Bailey Yard located in North Platte, Nebraska is The World’s Largest Rail Classification Yard.

It hovered above me for a good 35-40 mins and made a whirring noise.not really loud but noticeable. The Engineer and other helper on the Hump Engine .

saw it to and The Switch Foreman in Hump Tower and both Yardmasters also . One Thing I will say I have never in my life seen anything leave so fast, this craft went from a standstill to being gone in about a second! To my knowledge this has never been reported by anyone and most like forgotten about. But not for me.

this haunts me like a bad dream…I remember this like it happened yesterday. I can submit a sketch/drawing of it.however I will probably have to mail it to you.

(as I do not have any computer program that does that unfortunately). When the Train finally came to the Hill.the Yardmaster stopped it.

I was told to come inside, In all my years in the Yard this has only happened twice…once in a Tornado Watch and this. We discussed what we all saw upstairs in the Yardmaster s area of the Tower. We all decided not to say anything to avoid being called kooks or crazy.

I will verify that this incident did really happen and I have decided after all these years it needs reported.

Blueish white orb seems to be checking out our farm place. y roommate and I were watching TV contemplating sleep suddenly we noticed lights behind the house. The driveway goes right by the west side of the house and to the barn.

There is a path that circles around through the trees where old equipment is parked and is over grown, but we could drive through if needed. It looked like someone was trying to do so. We were wondering who of our friends is screwing around and how did they get by the house without us noticing.

We were going out to meet them as they come back passed the house. I must describe the typography there's a crick close by , we have the house the driveway and a row of cotton wood trees with a couple of small storage sheds and a feul tank scattered between the trees then the crick and open pasteur. The distance from the house to the crick is less than a city block.

Now before we get to the corner of the house, the very bright blueish white orb comes into site. It looks like it was just on the other side of the crick,casting freaky tree shadows moving across the yard and drive as it passed by, it moved steadily maybe 35 mph. It sped up after passing and we watched till we couldn't see it.

We stood scratching our heads, what the hell was that, I don't remember it making any sound at all.we get back in the house for a little bit when we here a jet,we run back out to see some sort of fighter jet loud and hulling ass on the same path as the orb.

I was a hovering sphere over the corn field near my house. One night when I was about 10 years old I went out my back door. I was getting ready to go to a cub scout meeting.

As soon as I stepped out my back door, I noticed a bright sphere-shaped object hovering (not even really hovering, it was just perfectly still) maybe 500 feet or less over the corn field near my house. The sphere was about 1500 - 2000 feet in total away from me (in a straight line.) I was totally shocked.

I had never seen anything like it. Even at 10 years old I knew it was not an airplane or a helicopter. It made no noise whatsoever.

I was overcome with the feeling that the object was "staring" straight at me. I can't explain this, it's just something I knew was happening. I also had the sense that I couldn't look away.

It was a very, very peaceful feeling, I felt very happy, more so than the moments before I stepped out the door. It was as though the object was telling me "it's ok, don't worry". Very strange but that is the overwhelming feeling I had.

The sphere wasn't very big. Maybe about 50 - 75 feet across. It was emitting light, but the light didn't really light up the night.

There were no beams of light coming off it, but still it was as though it was shining a flashlight straight at my eyes. The light was white, all white. This lasted maybe 20 seconds and as I said was a very joyful feeling.

Then suddenly, the light shot off across the sky at an extremely high rate of speed. It didn't have to speed up. It reached the full speed I saw it traveling at instantly.

It travelled east toward Grand Island and in the distance it arched upward slightly and disappeared. I'll never forget this as long as I live. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that date of the event is approximate.

PD)).

Cigar shaped object flying above cirrus clouds It was a March day ,light winds, high cirrus clouds, sunny. I walked from my house to another building at my farm. When I entered the threshold of the doorway I stopped, turned around 180 degress, and looked straight up, why I did this is puzzeling , because then at that moment I saw a silver cigar shaped object, flying above the cirrus clouds at twice the speed of a commercial jetliner at that altitude.

There were no wings, no con trail, the cigar shaped object flew from the north due south. I observed this object for about 20 seconds as it clearly was visible in and out of the cloud openings. I know cirrus clouds are usually about 30,000 feet.

so I know this cigar shaped object was very large. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD)).
