Nebraska UFO Sightings in 2023

Full Report Text:

I observed an aircraft with two bright lights to be stagnant and hovering over my pasture approximately 100' in the air. I observed an aircraft to be hovering approximately 100' above the ground in my pasture. It did not make a sound.

It was noticed by the two bright headlights and I also noted it was not moving. The aircraft quickly dropped to hover 20' above the ground. As I approached in my vehicle, to obtain a better view, the aircraft shot straight up into the air and sped off towards the east of the location.

Extremely bright white curved object hovering in SE night sky. My wife and I were getting ready to go to bed, and she was at the kitchen sink getting some water when she looked out the window and saw a very large object with extremely bright white light in the SE up above over our neighbors farm. We went and got the binoculars, I could see it was disk shaped and it had one large white light in the center and 2 or 3 smaller lights to the left & right next to the large middle light.

There was also occasionally a very small faint white-blue flashing and faint reddish flashing lights too. It appeared to hovered and would very slowly move up and down and east and west several times. I watched it until 1am then went to bed.

She watched it until 2am then went to bed with it still there in the sky.

Up to 4 UFO outside earths atmosphere My copilot and I started seeing the objects while at 39,000 feet around Omaha, Nebraska. We were flying east to Detroit, MI from Las Vegas, Nevada. We seen as many as 4 objects at a time, traveling in multiple directions outside the earths atmosphere.

They kept to an area just in front of the bowl of Ursa Major. It was almost as if they were playing with each other like a pod of dolphins. The objects looked like stars but moving at high speeds and changing directions.

At times they would get brighter than any of the stars in the sky. They appeared to be way outside the atmosphere of earth. Total duration of the sighting was at least 2 hours.

The magnetic bearing of the objects stayed at about a 035. Hence the reason along with other factors I believe the objects to be way outside earths atmosphere. This is my second time seeing these objects while I was flying through this same area.

Intense red ball slowly passing over my yard.Very bright and fiery.At first I thought it was going to touch my tree and catch fire .

Bright red ,round object slowly moving across the sky .Fiery red with one third lights in front.The object was so intense in color that the lights looked pink.

Moved across the sky and dipped down a little then kept traveling west,at a slow speed. No sound,no trails,just gliding.Just one object seen.

So,so bright red.

Spotted large white weather balloon at airplane height My husband and I spotted what looked like one large white weather balloon about 10,000-30,000 ft (airplane height) moving very slowly in sky at the speed of a slow cloud. Moving southeast. Object did not appear to emit light but reflected sun - was initially yellow orange from sunset, then white after sunset, then disappeared as it grew dark.

Observed with naked eye and binoculars. Object did not photograph well with cell phone.

Silver object flying in a westward direction off in a distace. Silver object. Shape of a grain of rice.

South Lincoln sky. Moving in a westward direction. It was obvious it was not a plane.

Driving so I took a couple photos then had to turn towards work. A little surprised later when I zoomed in. 4 oval shaped objects.

2 in front of me and 2 off to the west.

Was the coolest technology I’ve ever seen it was translucent & reflected the smoke above it from fireworks on the bttm and the stars wow! It had been a hour or so since my family and I stopped lighting fireworks. I was sitting in my rocking fold up chair in the driveway. I was rocking back and forth when I noticed something above me maybe 500 feet up comeing from the southeast heading northwest.

It was moving really slow maybe 10 to 15mph. At first I thought it was smoke from a firework but as I kept watching it a boomerang shape was appearing. It was translucent but I could see the outline of the boomerang craft from the way the lighting and smoke in the sky were reflecting off of it.

Then as it was passing over me heading away I could tell the smoke from fireworks in the area were above it and reflecting on the bottom of it and I could see a occasional star also on the bottom of the craft! It was silent no noise almost looked like water it was the strangest thing I ever seen but the coolest technology ever! I don’t know what made me look up there could of been a residence sound or slight hum to it? Not sure it just appeared so fast I couldn’t take my eye off ot it! As it got farther away the area was getting brighter in the direction it was heading which was northwest, the boomerang shape started to fade and it just looked like a large puff of smoke or a cloud moving away about 10 to 15mph or so “so cool” and confusing at the same time. I was not drinking or under the influence I don’t drink just saying cuz it’s the 3rd of July and we were celebrating the 4th. As my mind was trying to process all this I just kept reapeating in my head “we have the technology” “we have the ttechnology” almost like it was a way to calm me because my mind was going in overload looking at this craft I couldn’t make since of it then all of sudden it was like that thought ( “we have the technology”) was being broadcast or put in my thoughts somehow! Still in shock!!! “WOW!!! (Real sighting: is it ours or theirs?).

Following severe weather storms I was looking at the clouds and saw approx. 6 or 7 different lights in the sky behaving strangely. I was looking at clouds around 9:15pm following some severe weather storms and noticed high above the clouds a light like that of a plane.

So I started watching it and noticed several other lights in the same area. I thought that was strange because you don’t normally see that many planes flying in the same area at the same time and going different directions. I witnesses about 6-7 different lights all separate from each other but in the same area of the sky behaving strangely.

3 of them I witnessed fall straight down like a falling star at a high speed. 2 I saw increase speed and change direction quickly. And a couple of them just moved across the area slowly like a plane would.

On 1 of them I saw red and green lights so I thought that might have been plane lights on the wings. But what’s weird is what explains the activity of the other lights in the area? The lights were small like that of a plane in the night sky. They were moving in and out of clouds so i can’t be sure if some of the lights were the same ones that I was seeing again or different ones.

Again I thought it was strange that so many aircraft were in the same area at the same time doing different things. Maybe you can tell me if there was militant activity in the area this night or a plane being escorted by other aircraft or something that can’t be explained. The whole incident lasted about 5-7 minutes maybe and then the clouds were covering a lot of the night sky and I lost them.

Bright stationary object prior to dusk that was a hollow ring through telescope. Astronomy is a hobby of mine. At 8:12pm my wife texted and said my son wanted to know what planet was northeast.

I knew there shouldn’t be one at that time so I came out and saw a light that was comparable to the size and luminosity of Venus, but nowhere near the location of Venus and much too early to be seeing any other astronomical body. I opened my astronomy app and nothing should have been there. I laid down with it right on the corner of a building for 30-60 sec and I did not see movement.

I got out my telescope and saw that it was a very bright ring with 10-12 impossibly bright lights around the outside. It appeared to be hollow. I called my brother in Lincoln and he could see it from where he was as well but in a much different direction.

We shot some azimuths and using trig we estimated it was roughly above Palmyra and about 11.5 miles up. I started to notice that it was in fact moving imperceptibly slowly south and maybe slightly west.

I followed it for at least 30 min. As the sun went down the stars got brighter and it slowly faded. As it got darker I could see a distinct blinking light in the center that pulses at roughly 1bps, but all of the other individual lights I had seen had disappeared.

I wish I had some better pictures but none of my astrophography stuff was charged or accessible. These are both from my iPhone 14. One is at peak brightness prior to using my telescope, and the other was towards the end through my eyepiece as it was getting dark and fading.

It looks like a star out of focus in a telescope, but I assure you it was focused. The ghosting was due to a long exposure in low light. Despite the appearance of a ring with lights around the outer bottom, we believe that the way it just drifted and definitely had a blinking light and based on its rough altitude that it was probably a spy balloon or something.

Watched it for over an hour it did not move much. Watched for over an hour with naked eye and a basic telescope figured reflection from setting sun. It dimmed out after sun went down a flashing light on bottom when dark then lost it.

Maybe an Army balloon when I looked it up. It was south of SAC. Offit Air Force Base or a UAP Thanks.

Seemed to be cloaked-no lights, no sound, simply movement in sky, it glided by heading SE. This is the second time I have seen one of these. The first instance was in November or December of 2022, this second instance was May 2 at 1:59 AM.

Both instances, I was outside viewing the stars, and notice movement out of the corner of my eye, so I focus on that spot. Definitely a chevron shape, although it is difficult to explain, as they appear to be made to blend into the sky. Absolutely no sound or lights, they simply glide by.

The whole experience only lasts for seconds because once they glide by, they just kind of blend into the night sky. It would be impossible for me to get a picture due to how well they blend into the surrounding area. I am a 66 year old, retired female.

I used to be a programmer as well as a system administrator for retail corporate offices.

I saw a black pill like object moving across the sky from the south going north while looking to the west. Looking to the west, this object moved from south to north at a constant pace. Too fast for a plane/drone, too high for a bird and did not leave a contrail.

Object was a black pill shape and did not have any lights flashing/strobeing and did not reflect any sunlight. At first I heard the sound of a plane in the distance but did not see any planes anywhere until I noticed what I thought was a black bird soaring high in the sky then realized it wasn't a bird or a plane. Object was making a humming sound the entire time of travel.

I used to live by Offut AFB and have seen some weird lights and vehicles in the sky as well as odd sounds. Never seen anything like this. This Object was definitely not a b52 at cruising altitude or a plane.

Very large half circle overlapping the moon. Object was brighter than the moon. White with a thin bright green outline.

I was sitting on the couch and noticed a very bright light coming through the window. I went to the window and observed the a strange bright shape overlapping the moon. I went upstairs and also observed it from multiple windows in several different rooms.

I have witnessed eclipses in the past but this was not similar to any I have seen. The brightness of the object surpassed that of the moon which is why it caught my attention from the living room. There was a neon like green outline to the half circle shaped object.

I took photos with my phone but the pictures do not capture completely what I was viewing. I have never seen anything like this. Weather conditions were clear with no wind gusts.

There were no clouds visible. I watched and photographed the moon and object for approx. 1 hour and was still in the sky when I stopped my observation.

Viewed in southeast night sky.

Up to 3 lights in the sky, every morning at 4am, 3 locations, 200 miles apart. Fade in, fade out. Sometimes overlaying each other.

It started in early December. Stuart, Iowa at 4am. I noticed 3 lights that looked like stars.

They would move slowly one direction to another, dimming and brightening in sequence, going different directions, usually horizontal, but sometimes doing strange S maneuvers. Sometimes it's one, or two, up to three. I drive trucks for work on the same route, so I saw them every morning.

After January 1, my route changed. I saw these things in the exact same spot, 200 miles west in York, Nebraska. Then at my home in Lincoln, Nebraska.

I checked flight radar and satellite trackers to find nothing. Given the distance and angle, they have to be out of our atmosphere. But what would maneuver like this?? I found a video matelast month, where two jetliners reported exactly the same thing to ATC.

The objects were high above the planes, which adds to my conclusion. The video even played the ATC controller questioning someone above her that also showed nothing on radar. As of this morning, it's been at least two months of this.

I took some night mode shots with my phone, but they're only 3-5 second shutter. I brought out my big camera and set to a 10 second shutter and managed to capture two of them in one shot. It's driving me legitimately crazy seeing them every single night with no explanation.

My coworkers have also witnessed them.

Boyfriend and I saw 3 tear shaped lights. My boyfriend and I saw 3 tear-shaped lights. we had stayed up late watching movies.

As we went to smoke a cigarette, he looked at the sky horrified and ran up the street, I followed him trying to catch up to ask what was wrong, there was a massive orb very opaque, and as soon as I saw it too it vanished. we started to question if we should've seen this or not and got paranoid. he looked up again the same time I did to our fantasy and horror there were 2 tear-like lights, one looked as if it was above the other but at a great distance.

we saw them zip through the clouds but never saw them come out.

Saw trailblazer that moves very rapid and moved with sparkling tail behind and then when it disappears, sparkling tail disappears I already described it. One more thing to add. When it sparkles in rapid move, the color is fairly white instead of orange fire.
