Silver aircraft hovered over city then vanished. Silver metallic object hovered over the city for about 2 minutes and then just vanished. I was driving East towards the city on West O at 11am on Sunday morning when I noticed an object in the sky, probably just a plane I thought.

I kept looking up and noticed it was hovering and thought it may be a military aircraft but it was too far to make out. All of a sudden it vanished! I pulled over to see if I could see the path of the aircraft outside of the car, but nothing. Weird.

Four bright orange lights observed in a linear pattern I observed a bright orange light appear to the north then disappear, then a similar light appear diagonally beneath and to the west of the first light, then disappear, then a third similar light appear diagonally beneath and to the west of the second light then disappear. A fourth light matching the first three then appeared centered above the location of the previous three, and then it disappeared. The sky was clear and I could observe stars in the area, but no objects.

The lights were equally bright and much brighter than the surrounding stars. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

alternating colors flashing sphere seen in early morning sky Red green white flashing between colours sphere in southeast sky heading west then later spotted heading east. Then changed directions again from east to west and back to east again. While watching sphere.

A plane or what looked like a plane headed toward flashing sphere. Sphere lights seem to die down a bit and possible plane change altitude to fly low under sphere after plane passed and was a distance away sphere light got brighter again. Could the flashing sphere been a weather balloon? ((NUFORC Note: Possibly a "twinkling" star? PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

4 lights over Gretna NE As 2 of my neighbors and myself were out with our children trick-or-treating at about 7:30p.m., I happened to glance up at the sky and notice a light flying towards us.

At first I didn’t think much about it, but as it drew closer I became more interested. It appeared to be at an elevation of about 1,000 ft, a constant blue light and made no sound. It traveled from the Southwest to the Northeast in a straight line at what I estimate at about 150mph until it disappeared from sight.

As we were waiting for our kids to go to the next house, we were talking and wondering if it was or was not a drone discussing elevation, size, speed, and color when we all saw a second object appear, this time green in color. It followed the exact same flight path and seemed to be at the same elevation and be of the same size of the previous object. Just as the second object disappeared from sight we all turned to see a third blue object appear just where the first 2 had appeared.

It also followed the same flight path as the previous 2 objects. Again as we lost sight of the third object, a fourth one appeared. This fourth object was also blue and traveled the same flight path at the same speed as the previous 3 but was flying at a higher elevation.

After the fourth object left the area and we were teasing each other about getting our tin foil hats out, we watched a large airplane flying from the East to the West gaining altitude and we all noticed the differences between the objects and the plane itself. We aren’t sure what we saw but we know that it was not an airplane and chances are that they aren’t commercially available drones. Also, I am a military aircraft mechanic and am very familiar with aircraft flight patterns, size, shape, styles, etc.

Watched a bright green glowing sphere travel across a field. At approx. 11:45 PM, as I approached a T on a gravel road and made the turn, I saw a bright green glowing sphere traveling across the field.

It was not going very fast, maybe 15-20 mph and it was about 10-15 feet off the ground. It followed the contour of the land and I was driving parallel to it at about 75 feet away. The sphere was about 1 ½ to 2 feet in diameter and very bright neon green.

My first thought was that it was some type of fireworks, but it made no sound and did not seem to be affected by gravity as it followed the land contour, so it was not fireworks. I lost sight of it when the hill at the edge of the road blocked my view. I stopped my car and turned off my lights and watched for about 10 minutes, but saw nothing else.

I also returned the next night at 11:30 and watched the field for a half hour, but saw nothing.

Four identical objects observed Near OAFB by two adults. START TIME: Approximately 2010 Hrs END TIME: Approximately 2030 Hrs I took my dog out to relieve himself just before going to the store, when I noticed an object with flight characteristics which were not similar to any usual air craft. The object was ovular in shape and had lights that were intermittently visible.

The lights were an orane-red and yellow color (normal aircraft, even military, have green or red on either wing tip). The object was dark grey in color and seemed to sort of vanish and re-appear suddenly. The object rotated about 240 degrees along its longitudinal axis while maintaining a steady trajectory from SSW (Somewhere west of Platsmouth) to NNE (towards downtown Omaha/Missouri River).

It is also important to note that the craft was not uniform in shape, as it rotated, it revealed smooth flat sides along the forward and aft sections of this exotic object. I immediately ruled out celestial bodies such as stars, planets, meteoroids and so forth due to the altitude which I estimate was about 5,000-10,000 feet from ground level. The object emitted no detectable sound despite it's proximity and high rate of speed.

I was able to confirm that it was in atmosphere due to the fact that it was passing between the clouds and myself. I could also rule out any sort of illusion or phenomenon as the object was in plain view the most of the time I was observing it. When it seemed to vanish, I was still able to predict where it would re-appear and begin tracking it again as it moved steadily.

I observed this first object until I could no longer see it all the while, trying to get my wife's attention who was inside getting our kids ready to go. She finished that about one minute after the initial object disappeared. After about two more minutes pass by.

At this time, as we are loading the kids in the truck, both, my wife and I observed a second object matching the description of the first. This object exhibited the same behaviors and travelled what I perceived was the same route. Upon seeing the second object my wife and I changed our plans and decided to drive around in the rural area two miles south of Bellevue Nebraska.

Upon beginning our drive, going west on Capehart toward 36th Street, we observed two more objects matching the description of the aforementioned, flying on the same path and a similar altitude. This previously mentioned observation occurred approximately 4 minutes after the second object left visual contact. Upon driving around in the rural areas we observed no further objects.

Additional thought tells me that if there were only two objects, they would have to begin traveling from the point of final visual contact to the point of initial contact at an amazing speed while deviating significantly from their originally observed path. It is much more probable that there were a total of 4 objects. To the reader: Be advised that I am a seasoned military member who lives near an AFB.

I see various craft on a daily basis at all hours and during all weather conditions yearly. While this occurred after sunset, the sky was mostly clear and there was near maximal lighting from the moon. I am well versed in aircraft and discerning between any sort of optical illusion or phenomena.

Based on these circumstances, I conclude that these were some form of manufactured, atypical craft which were intelligently controlled. I draw no other conclusions. I attempted to record the second occurrence on my phone but as you can imagine the video quality does not do the event justice.

I do however, still have the video.

Spotted Triangle of lights above No Name Bay at Lake McConaughey in Ogallala NE Spotted above No Name Bay at Lake McConaughey in Ogallala, NE. The top light didn’t move or flash. The bottom left light flashed green, yellow and red in what appeared to be an orb or circular pattern.

I couldn’t be certain but it looked like lights were going around a dark sphere. The bottom right light was bright orange/yellow. It darted up, down, right and left in no particular pattern but in short quick motions.

A blue, dim, small light appeared to the right of the bright orange yellow light. They seemed to dance together, like the bottom right light was chasing the blue one. A bright light quickly dropped between the two at one point.

We watched for 15 minutes and got spooked.

Black ufo spotted on a late night drive. Black circle with red lights flashing round the side with one green light at the top that was blinking. Moved slowly then picked up speed when we started following it.

Disappeared after that. Couldn't find where it went.

Full Report Text:

It was late at night the object was a distance away but we're able to see a red light and possibly a green light as well going down at a angle at a high rate of speed. The duration of time only lasted a few seconds. I know this wasn't a meteor or Comet because it had no tail.

2 lights seen on horizon in Lincoln Nebraska. Was seen looking to the north-northeast, completely overcast skies, looked to be a fair distance off. 2 balls, one red and flickering white, and one blue flickering white slowly moved across the sky, for some time I thought they were planes, but they continued to move around each other, one plunged to the ground before the two appeared to fuse, one may have just moved away, as I took time to tell someone and ask them to come look.

The ball then became solid white and moved with high speed. Before about ten minutes after the event started, the object seemed to move closer at high speed, before turning around and staying in near the same location for around 5 minutes. It also caused my cats to become distressed and worried, one of them constantly looking out the northeast facing windows of my house.

Large triangle shape, defined by a series of dim lights moving silently and fast. South to north over Lincoln, Nebraska. I was sitting outside at the patio table with my dog sitting next to me.

The night was clear, and the stars where bright. I looked down at my dog, her ears were perked up,and she was focused on something in the sky off to the south. Very strange to see her follow what ever it was until she was looking straight up.

This caught my attention because it's strange for Dogs, or cats to follow flying objects like airplanes, and helicopters. I followed my dogs gaze, and directly over me I saw a series of dim lights that clearly defined a huge Triangle, and it was moving North very quietly and very fast. There were no red or green identifiers or strobes.

The lights did not appear to be on the outside of the object, but more like the dim light you would expect coming from windows. My sense was that its altitude was in the hundreds not the thousands because there was a halo effect around the lights due to the moist air. The Object was perfectly silent.

From the time I noticed my dogs ears perk up to the time it vanished off to the north.6 seconds at the most. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Bright light shooting straight down toward the airport. Large, round, green tinted, very bright light. Shot straight down over the airport and light faded before hitting the ground.

Very fast, all happened within seconds. I'm skeptical, because of its proximity to the airport, but I'm not aware of any aircraft that can fall straight to the ground at such a high speed. ((NUFORC Note: Possible meteor?? PD)).

White trailess orb fell straight down in the north eastern sky from a vantage point between Omaha and Lincoln, Ne At approximately 21:40, a bright white orb shaped object fell in the north east sky towards Omaha, NE. This object had no tail as if it wasn't burning up in the atmosphere. It was larger than any shooting star I have witnessed before.

It appeared and fell from about 60 degrees up from the horizon, straight down to about 40 degrees and just disappeared. No sound was heard.
