Green speedy circle over 100th Street and I-80 in Omaha, NE travelling east bound I was heading east down I-80 and I looked up to the sky around 100th street. I saw a green circular light about 500 to 1000 feet off the ground. It then immediatedly accelerated hard covering 1 1/2 to 2 miles in under one second.

The light then disappeared and I don't know if it turned or what happend. The skies were perfectly clear and I tried to look for reflections that may have caused this effect, but I did not see any.

Two witnessees saw 3 bright incandescent colored balls of light in northeast Nebraska. Both witnesses looked to the sky at about the same time. We witnessed 3 large incandescent colored balls of light starting close to each other and then moving horizontally farther apart at the same rate, speed, and distance.

We do not have a guess on their height relative to the ground; though each light appeared to be at exactly the same height. We witnessed this approximately 2 miles from what appeared to be the area below the lights. The lights were visible for a total of almost 5 seconds before they disappeared.

We could not tell if they burned out or moved away but they disappeared over at time span of about 1 second; all at what appeared to be the exact same time. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD)).

Bright white light that change formation, had a limited duration. On this day something told me to keep looking in the sky. Looking up in the sky while driving east.

I say maybe 700 ft. in the sky. Seen a bright white light, that almost looked like a diamond then my brother said it looked silver to him.

then it must of have some type of cloaking device. It looked to have some type of radiation or something and dissappeared. My brother and I were so amazed by what we saw.

I kept asking him if he seen it and he told me yes.

Wishbone frame over southwest Omaha, emerging from clouds. Witnessed two flat, noiseless objects within five minutes of each other. They appeared to have a skeletal, wishbone like frame and moved across the sky like a glider might move.

We could not make out any defined body but there did seem to be some kind of dark area within the frame. The back end or tail had no real definition it seemed to almost fade into the sky. The crafts were in sight for approximately ten seconds each, before we lost sight of them.

These two crafts came out of what appeared to be high altitude cirrus clouds, moving in a east-southeasterly direction. The clouds were long, thin and transparent, localized to a specific area in the sky. The clouds themselves seemed to last no more then two hours in duration.

I noticed them at eleven pm central time and had completely vanished out of sight at about one fifteen am. The crafts seemed to emerge directly out of the cloud bank(?) both crafts heading in a southeasterly fashion.

Bright Light in northern Sky, not any Planet I know of and Not the Space Station I had walked out my front door, heading to my pickup to get a computer CD when I looked up in the sky as I usually do when going out in the evening. As I walked up to the Pickup I noticed an Airplane flying from west to east. This was nothing out of the ordinary in my area since we live under several Transcontinental Air-lanes between Chicago, Omaha, and Lincoln, going to Denver or LA Etc.

I was tracking the Plane going to the east when I noticed a very bright light in the sky further towards Zenith from the Plane. As I was standing facing North, I checked the sky to orient myself with the Constellations and I attempted to triangulate on the position of the bright light. I found Cassiopeia and then Camelopardalis and found the bright light was between North star (last star in the little dipper's handle) and the Brightest Star of Auriga about half way between these two stars, but was not as distant.

I would estimate this Light was in orbit, but holding stationary position. Doing a quick inventory of the sky I concluded it was not Venus Saturn or Jupiter because it was too far north and in a totally wrong place to be these planets. To judge the size of this light it would be four times the size of Venus when seen in the South-western Sky at, or shortly after Sunset.

The Brightness was twice the Magnatude of Venus in the Morning Just before Dawn. But as I said this was not Venus. After observing this light for 15-20 seconds it just winked out, not moving in any direction.

What I noticed was while the object’s light intensity was dissipating, I could see a round ball in the center, kind of like when a light bulb is turned off, you can still see the glow if the plasma formed around the element for a brief second. But this was round. I also thought I could hear something like the sound of what old flash bulbs made in the Camera’s of the 50’s up to the 70’s, that crunching boiling sound as the blue coating fried from the heat of the bulb burning out.

I stood there for a few minutes waiting to see if this was all or if it would come back and I didn’t see anything else. I came back in my home and checked the time which was 22:34. I’d estimate I had seen the object no more than five minutes before.

I then made this report.

There where Three lights. Two where side by side and the other was away from the other two. I only seen them for 2 or 3 seconds.

They were in the eastern sky, left of the full moon.

This made me an alcoholic On Wednesday, October 24th, I and a coworker had an experience on Highway 33 outside of Roca, NE (about 3 miles west on 33). My coworker, who has since quit, will not contribute to this report so I will not use his experiences although I would prefer as they are more "colorful" than my own. A little background here; I am (or at least was) happily married and prefer to stay that way, and my wife will not listen to me and DOES NOT support my reporting this but after researching online I feel I must do this.

I am a 28 year old who graduated from a very small town in Nebraska, so I do not expect anyone to take me serious that this took place. People who have an education or money would be, but I am just a regular guy I guess, but here it goes anyway. I have had a bit of a personality crisis (as well as a whiskey crisis) for the last few days and I’m just trying to get by.

Frankly, I am annoyed that this happened, and 4 nights later I am still annoyed and not enjoying my life if you don’t mind me speaking my mind. I was driving a commercial truck used to move frozen food that is sold retail, and there were two of us, one in each truck returning to our “office”. I was ahead of my coworker, when we turned a bend in the highway, ahead there was a black square in the sky.

I don’t know how else to describe it, there were no lights or sounds, just a square floating. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw it, keep in mind-and this important-that it wasn’t there when I came around the bend, it just appeared. It was low and almost on the road and I locked up my brakes.

My truck is heavy and admittedly we speed, so I was all over the road. I came to a stop and got out. All I saw was this black square.

I am not trying to sound dramatic. But it was simply a black square, moving very slowly-hardly moving-to the south. This is when thing get weird, cause my coworker gets out of his truck and his face is white as a sheet, and he says ((deleted))all this for selling ice cream door-to-door.

" I am staring at this black floaty thing, and then suddenly my coworker is gone. I mean thin air gone. Suddenly from the cornfield about 50 yards ahead from the south comes my buddy screaming bloody hell.

His eyes are so big it’s like all I can see are his eyes to this minute, and all I can see to his right is this dark square, and as he is running to me, his arms out wide as if to hug me, and there comes this horn, ya know like compressed air you have on your boat, and I duck. My coworker jumps into my truck and shuts and locks the doors, and here I am prying on the door handle screaming like a school girl and I look behind me and see a guy, like a little skinny guy along the ditch, and this is where I become a drinker, cause the guy is looking at me all menacing like he is coming to kill me and he is skin and bones with a big ass head. Jim lets me in and I put in drive and push this International to 120.

My wife is mad, don’t make trouble for me please, but you all don’t know (or belief) but I do. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Probable hoax, we suspect.

PD)).

4 to 5 shinny object with no sound flew over the house heading due west. My wife called for me to come to the backyard and look up in the sky. I came outside and look up and their were these round objects that were really shinny and moving really fast.

I was freaking out and ran back into the house for the camera. I ran back out to look for one and didn't see them anymore then minute later two more flew over the house. I would say these things were flying about 10,000 feet maybe.

We have a small airport near by and these objects didn't fly any higher then these smaller aircraft. All I can say is WoW, plus my wife is so anti this kind of stuff I thought is was funny she saw the first two and called for me to look. Crazy!.

"V" shaped pattern of 10-12 white lights, moving south in omaha NE I was sitting in my backyard looking at stars. What looked like a moving "V" shaped pattern of stars caught my eye. I was amazed and had to stand up and get a closer look.

I could see the UFO to the east, moving south at a constant speed. There were about 5 or 6 white lights down the two lengths of the "V". It was approximately 2-3 miles away.

I could only see the lights, no silhouette. As a street light blocked my view, I could no longer see it.

I sighted a UFO on Oct. 6, 2007 and reported it on this site. Approximately a month later, I believe it was Nov.

7, 2007, I saw something unusual in the sky. I was miles away from others (except for an elderly woman I was caring for.) She didn't see this.

I was outside shaking out some scatter rugs when I saw an object floating overhead pretty high in the sky. I'm estimating a fourth of a mile in the sky. I was in the country at an isolated house, and it was a sunny day, clear sky, and here was this thing floating in the sky overhead slowly.

I was near my car, and I had a digital camera in the car, so I got it, and took three pictures. By the time I got the camera out and took the first picture, it was some distance away from me, still just floating in the sky soundlessly. It appeared to be the good year blimp, way far up in the sky.

By the time I took three pictures, it was hard for me to see the object anymore. The odd thing was, all of a sudden this object created a noise like a large plane (I am not into aircraft but the sound I described at the time was a B1 bomber sound). Its as if they were floating above, enjoying the peaceful landscape, and then they saw me watching them and they wanted me to think they were a common airplane.

It is as if they flipped a switch to create the noise. Incidentall, I've seen blimps, and this really wasn't a blimp, just resembled one. I didn't want to send the pictures because I was disgusted at your website for putting down another person who had reported sightings at approximately the same time I did.

You more or less accused him of being a hoax. I felt he was telling the truth. All the time, I knew I would send it to you at some time, because I wanted you to enhance it and see what you could see.

Tonight I saw Larry King Live and three gentlemen were discussing UFO's, and the lack of evidence. I got on my computer to see the photos, and this is the only one I can find. I think it was the best of the three, but I still wonder what happened to the other two photos, they were in my Photo Library, now none are there.

I may be wrong. This was in one of my documents. I decided to send it tonight in case this photo disappears.

I may be wrong on the date and time, but I know it was in the afternoon and I'm pretty sure it was Nov. 7th. I know it was 2007.

Somewhere I have it down, but I didn't want to put this off any longer, as this photo may disappear. See what you can see. Thank you.

My Report to the UFO Website October 6, 2007 5:45 a.m. Central Approximately Three Miles West of Johnstown, Nebraska On October 6, 2007, I was driving to Wayne, Nebraska, for a meeting, and I wasn’t sure if I had allowed enough time.

I was in a hurry. It was about 5:45 a.m.

Central Daylight. I was traveling from Valentine, Nebraska. The meeting registration was at 9:30 with the meeting to begin at 10:00.

I’m including this piece of information because it did have a small part in my actions at the end of this story, I believe. I was traveling on Highway 20 approximately two to three miles west of Johnstown, Nebraska, just a very short distance west of Plum Creek. (less than a mile, I approximate) It was dark and I was watching for deer, porcupine, etc, yet, trying to keep aware of the time and my schedule.

The stars were out. All of a sudden there is a flying object coming parallel to the road in the opposite direction I was traveling, just clearing the trees. In other words, it came from the other direction and was just beyond the fence line on the opposite side of the road.

It was flying pretty low to the ground, yet, high enough that I was thinking it was a small private plane because I could hear it so well, and because it was so low. There were a lot of lights flashing, and a pretty loud whirling sound, an unusual sound to me, but the only way I can describe it was like a helicopter sound, but more a whirling sound than a chopping sound. It definitely was not a helicopter.

I remember being amazed as there were twenty or thirty lights flashing on this vehicle. At first I thought I was close to Ainsworth, as there is an airport there and it was so low to the ground I thought it must have just taken off. I thought it was a very fancy plane.

I said some things out loud, and I believe they had a bearing on what ensued. I will relate those comments in a few paragraphs. At first I didn’t think much of it, I thought it was a small plane definitely with sophisticated instruments, radar, etc.

I continued driving only glancing at it twice. It immediately came back to check me out, as that is when I realized I must stop to see what in the world this was. I was looking at the road, (driving) so I didn’t see it shift into reverse, but that is what must have happened.

As I think about it now, at that point, I remember being surprised as I could see stars through it, and the lights weren’t flashing and making as much a noise as it had made an instant before, when it first was visible and coming over the trees. I pulled over, off the road onto the shoulder, put the vehicle in park, and opened my window. That is when I realized this was a very unusual event in my life.

I stared at it, and remember there wasn’t much of any sound now, and just an instant later, there was no sound. It was suspended in the air, and just hovering there, about 15 or 20 ft. in the air.

I could see through it. The lights weren’t flashing then, and there were only a few lights. Also, I remember thinking that whomever was in there, was not visible, but no doubt was looking at me.

The lights I could see were on the exterior of the craft and there were only two or three that I recall along with apparent illumination in the interior. The visible lights were in the position of one or two corners of the craft, I believe, but I remember thinking there weren’t lights in each corner, maybe just three lights. My attention was directed to the interior, illuminated but not a very large space, and I thought two levels.

It looked like a large rectangular glass (plastic) box. The interior wasn’t very wide. There were no desks, no panels of instruments, no anything, but it was dimly lighted allowing me to see functional space.

I’ve tried to recall the measurements, but bear in mind, this all happened in a few minutes time. These measurements are the best I can recall, and here they are. The plastic box, which this craft appeared to be, was approximately 18 feet long, maybe a little less, but not much.

The height was approximately 13 feet. It was rectangular with the horizontal measure greater than the vertical measurement. It appeared there might be two levels, but, of course, I didn’t see any steps, etc.

The space inside was illuminated lightly, I could see some depth to the space, and I’m going to guess that at about 4 feet. The reason I thought it was two levels, it appeared there was some kind of horizontal divider in the craft, in about the middle. I have calculated that I was no more than 120 feet from the craft.

18’x13’x4’ approximately, and about 120 feet away. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw two large trucks (cattle trucks I realized after I got out on the road) approximately 1/8th of a mile behind me, coming very fast toward me. I got scared all of a sudden, and wanted to be in front of the trucks to protect myself.

I remember calculating that it wouldn’t put the trucks in danger if I were to pull out on the road and get up some speed, which is what I did. I didn’t even glance back, even though I wanted to, to see if I could see the vehicle flying away. I was in animal country, and I had two large trucks bearing down behind me, so I just drove and concentrated on the road in front of me.

The appointment I was traveling to had a very small bearing on my leaving so abruptly, but primarily I felt I wanted the safety of the trucks to escort me away from this experience. It was a very meaningful experience to me, however, and now I know UFO’s exist. As I was driving away from this experience, I felt a sense of gratitude I had experienced it.

After getting out on the road again, I immediately came to Plum Creek and then Johnstown, and soon after that, Ainsworth. I pulled in at the gas station, and saw the two big cattle trucks go by, and I’ll always wonder if they saw anything. They may not have, because the craft was inconspicitious and the trucks were traveling very fast, and I recall some trees just to the left, or west, of the craft.

The lights of this craft appeared to be the source of the energy to navigate it, and with the many flashing lights and the whirling noise, it seemed like a happy little vehicle, just singing and whistling along, before it spotted me. Forgive me for being repetitious, but I don’t have time to make this a grammatically correct manuscript. Some of you who are reading this are probably appreciative of my repetition as I don’t want to leave out any important points that I know I experienced.

When I was first parked, and looked at it, it shut down to no sound and even though there were some lights, they were not flashing and they were very few in number. The craft was completely stationary, suspended in air about 15 ft. off the ground.

I could see through the spacecraft, and could see the interior but could see no objects. I would gauge it just a few feet on the other side of the fence line (standard distance from a road) and suspended approximately 15 ft. in the air.

The last thing I want to relate is what I said, outloud, because I think they heard me, understood me, and that is what caused them to take a better look at me. When I first saw the vehicle (which I assumed was a plane) I distinctly recall what I said, and that I said it out loud. My windows were rolled up incidentally.

After glancing at this vehicle initially, I assumed it was some rich person’s vehicle because it would cost a lot (just judging from the power and the energy I could see and hear) and I said, “You’re a sophisticated little plane.” Then I recall saying, as I’m driving down the road not even looking back at it, “little fancy dancy plane!” Then, I remember saying, not having any idea the craft was anything other than being a mile or two away from me, “Wow, twenty or thirty lights!!” more or less to confirm in my mind what I had just seen. (When I first laid eyes on it, it was just having a good old time, clearing treetops and all those 20 to 30 lights flashing, making a lot of whirling sounds.

It appeared to be feeling very good.) Then, I realized it had reversed itself, and it was still parallel to the road I was traveling down, at approximately 60 mph, and that’s when I said, out loud, as I pulled off the road, “Boy, I’ve got to have a better look at you!” I stopped on the shoulder of the road, put my pickup in park and rolled down the window. And there was no more talking, just looking at this space craft, as I have attempted to describe it.

I definitely remember hearing the small purr being cut even more, so there was absolutely no sound as it was suspended in air. I sensed no evil or ill feeling. It was a friendly force.

I sensed curiosity on their part, and I greatly appreciated this experience, even though I did get scared and wanted to be ahead of the trucks and not left behind. I hope to see another space vessel sometime, if I am so blessed. If I do, I will try to be braver.

But, you have to admit, I was pretty brave the other morning when I had this great experience. Before October 6th, I really didn’t believe in UFO’s. I had not been drinking or smoking anything, I was totally sober and have been for years.

I know what time I left Valentine, and what time I arrived in Ainsworth, and there was no great lapse of time. I imagine my encounter lasted only a couple minutes from the time I first spotted this noisey craft, when the craft returned to my proximity, when I parked to observe it and when I pulled out on the road again. The man I talked to on the phone from this website asked me to draw a picture of the relationship of the size of the vehicle I saw to the sun in the sky.

I think this would be confusing, I’ve given you the measurements as best as I can recall them. If I would have to do that, it would be close to the relationship of a 3x5 file card to a penny. Thank you for your attention.

Bright light over west Omaha at 11:45pm Oct. 5th. Friday night on October 5th.

I was driving home from a friends house and was traveling south on I-680. At about 11:45pm I was just about up to the Dodge Street exit when I noticed an extremely bright blue white light low in the sky. This object had no tail or contrail and was moving way to quickly to be an aircraft in a tower controlled airspace (TCA).

I saw none of the red or green lights associated with conventional aircraft either. The object appeared to fly over the interstate then pitched up a bit before it went completely dark. I raced home and checked the Heavens-above website for any satellite or ISS overflights of the area at that time.

I could find nothing flying over Omaha for that time period. I was able to see the ISS flying overhead at about 7:40pm on Saturday night October 6th. It was not anywhere near as bright nor was it moving as fast as the object I had seen the night before.

I reported the friday night sighting to a friend who is a MUFON investigator and he suggested I also send a report to this website.

While I was driving north towards Plattsmouth, NE, between 2:30 and 3:30PM, I looked up to about 1:00 in the sky and saw a big, bright streak of flaming ball. It looked as if it were heading from the SSE moving NNW towards Omaha. It appeared for only about 3 seconds and also appeared to have possibly disintegrated into the air before it reached the tree tops.

I think it was probably space junk. The appearance of it seemed to be metallic because I briefly saw a bright glare from it as if the sun behind me were reflecting off of it. The size of it was big at first and then seemed to shrink in size before disintegrating.

It didn’t leave any smoke trail after it disappeared. The largest size of it was about the same as if you were to look at a golf ball from 10 feet across the room. I’m a 34 year old male, former AF meteorologist and was alone in my car.

Cigar Shaped UFO Flying Into a Storm Cloud It was 5:27 in the evening. I was waiting for my brother in his car outside his house, when I looked up to the east and saw a Cigar Shaped, Silver object fly into the leading edge of a storm cloud. There may have been more already in the cloud but I didn't see them.

It was close enough that if it were an Airplane I would have heard it and there was no contrail. I don’t drink and I don’t do drugs and I wasn’t tired.

Triangular Ufo in Bellevue? I was driving home from work. I was on Harry Anderson heading south towards Harrison. I saw a bright floresent light right above the interstate overpass.

I thought it was a little plane, but it wasnt moving. As i got closer i could see a green light on the left and a red light on the right. The object was triangular shaped with one bright light in front.

I turned down the radio, rolled down my windows and stuck my head out just to see if i could hear a plane engine. There was no noise. It just hovered there in one spot.

As i got to the red light i turned around in my seat to see if it was still there and it was gone.

I noticed a white circle moving slowly at a constant speed in the sky. It's possible that it could have been an oval. It was fairly small, but not too small.

I definately saw something. At first it seemed to me that it could be something normal, but then after it moved slowly for about 10 seconds it faded quickly into the sky. Judging by how far away it must have been, that ship must have been very large.

I think it went back into space quickly.

dancing lights in the sky we seen at least 5 lights coming and going from different directions east northeast from eustis like they were playing in the sky. it was first noticed around 10:15 pm and is 11:02 and is still there. for a little while around 10 minutes the lights changed to long oblong lights that seemed to have a pattern and then they changed back to the way they were before and are just darting all over the sky in one area.

they don't seem to be too far up in the atmosphere and are like all over and just keep going. they seem luminated not too bright like they are hazy. they are still going but we need to go to bed.

don't know if anyone else has seen this but if they do they will be amazed and curious. thank you.

Strange lights over Ainsworth, NE, 2007 The obeject came from North to South as I glanced up. I watched it for the two seconds that I saw it. When I saw it, it was not something that I have seen before.

That was why it captured my attention. It was a triangle shape, but it was dark so the triangle shape was configured by conecting the red lights produced by the object. If I knew how to draw this shape I would but I can't on the computer so just know that it looked almost like the publicised "Arizona Lights", only it looked farther away.

It looked liked it was at the same altitude as a passenger jet. But it was moving much faster. It didn't leave a trail like meteor, and it didn't look like it was on fire.

What could it be? The red lights where in configuration of, five lights coming to a vee and two lights occupying the wide space of the vee.

a yellow disk hovering for a few seconds then took off. I was taking out my trash when out of the corner of my eye I saw this yellow saucer type thing. So I turned my head to see a ufo.

All I could do was think is this real. And after my moment of thought was over it was gone. and then afterward my room lights where flickering when we had changed the bulbs 10 days ago.

And thats all. ((NUFORC Note: HOAX?? Student report)).
