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.

Jerry and I both saw 3 orb like objects in the sky last night. They were glowing red/orange bright light. They were very low. About 500-800 ft in the sky. They were in a straight line. Then they started moving slowly towards the south. As they moved forward one paused in front of our house and then went west and disappeared. The other two continued south slowly and paused in our side yard airspace then slowly dimmed and disappeared. I don’t know how to explain what they could have been. The dogs woke us up around 12:45am. It went on until about 12:59 am. It was amazing. One of the orbs sat right outside our balcony and just dissolved away. They were very large and glowing. I could hear a faint humming sound.

I was leaving the house, looking up at the sky like I always do, and spotted a fine point (star) however this one was moving and behind it another, and another. They were all moving in a perfect line and spaced between one another. No commercial lights. Two of the 16, actually shined an intense, becoming more brighter than the rest that has past by. It doesn’t end there, I went to my brothers place, about 5 miles away and we both looked up and at one point didn’t see anything and then 2 free floating lights flying, however not in formation like before at my house.

10-15 even spaced lights moving across sky east to west then vanished once they all hit the same Spot in the sky.
