Full Report Text:
Fire ball / box I had let my dogs out for their evening break before going to bed and while walking in the back yard I usually look up at the stars. I turned to the west and noticed a glowing just above the terminator of daylight and night. I stopped and thought that looks in the general vicinity of Venus, but was the wrong color, shape and size.
I watched it for a few moments and noticed it was rectangular in shape and floating to the south. I had to judge it was about five miles or more away from me and was going to be hid by trees across the street. I rushed through the house, and to the nearest intersection but it was gone before I got there.
Object was as described rectangular in shape standing up on end where it was taller than it was wide. It appeared as it was flame because it flickered like a fire and Orange-Yellow in color. It was not Venus as I located it behind a tree, nor was it a plane unless it was on fire which I do not think it was as it was traveling from north to south.
Also I do not believe it could have been fireworks due to height several thousand feet.

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.

I was traveling west on Highway 30 between North Platte and Hershey when I noticed lights in the sky just south of the highway and east end of town spinning and sliding sideways group of light that were Rectanglure in shape. At first I thought I was seeing a Plane, but Planes don't spin. This group of lights spun in a counter clock wise motion and took about 10 seconds to make a revalution.
It also drifted to the west in a hover from about mile post 165 to the east end of town. Then the rotation stopped and the craft moved straight North. At this point I had pulled off to the side of the road and got out of my truck.
the light were shaped in a Trapezoid formation with a spot light in the center that would come on intermitantly. What ever this craft was it did not make the sounds that a helocopter makes. The only thing I heard was a low continues whooshing sound heavy on the osh part.
I stood there for about four minutes watching this object light up the country side with a bright white circle until it was about a mile or so North then the craft shot straight up and out of site. The whole time I watched this craft it was about 700 feet above the ground and I also saw the normal passenger jet aircraft in the sky but they were traveling at their normal altitudes 20k feet or so.

Needle nosed object widening out into a triangular shape, The rear of the triangle had a shaft extending out into a oval into a I was cutting cross country from west of Tryon Ne. turning off of highway 92 south on a country road which weaves south to Sutherland Ne. I was about 15 miles north of Sutherland when I noticed to the south-east of the stars were blinking out as if something was traveling along and blocking out the stars in the constellation Gemni.
The area where the blocked out stars was darker than the sky. At this point I could see the lights glowing from Bailey Yard (Union Pacific, North Platte 20 some miles to the east from behind the hills. I used this as a somewhat known distance to judge the blocked out area which appeared to be standing still and would have put it between Hershey and Sutherland.
I continued on to the south keeping an eye on the object until i reached the North Platte River bridge which dropped down to the river bank. I attempted to see if it was still there but couldn't see for the trees until I was on the bridge itself. I was about half way across the bridge when I regained the darkened area.
The object was moving to the south very slowly and was shapped with a needle nose spreading back into a triangle. The rear of the triangle had a shaft extending out a ways elongating into a sideways oval. The Oval had two lighter spots in it, not quite lights, maybe engines? The skin of the object was coal black and appeared to be made up of angles something like the Stealth Fighter.
(BUT NOT THE STEALTH FIGHTER OR BOMBER) I would say the object was about 300 yards long and 100 wide at the triangular front end. I continued to the south until I came onto the two mile road north of Sutherland and turned to the east. I stopped and got out to get a better look.
I heard a low pitched hum which seemed to be coming from the object which was heading south towards I-80 and US 30. It seemed to be moving about 3-5 miles per hour (Just creaping along) and about 1000 foot altitude or so. It seemed to me it was about a mile or two away to the east.
I watched this object for several minutes until it disappeared to the south and the lights of the rest area on I-80 interfeared. I came on home and reported what I had seen. This object was simpularly shapped to one I saw floating above the river in the 80's and the same color and had a simular sound to an object seen over Sutherland in the 80's Did I see something not of this world or did I see something the U.
S. Government is experimenting with??.
