Formation over Omaha, NE

The report, as filed

I was leaving Council Bluffs via Broadway onto the interstate to Omaha. As always, I see the skyline of downtown omaha. Just above the silhouette of the First National Building, I see a white "V". It appeared to be a plane with vapor trails but could not distinguish a plane from it. Then I saw a bright light that appeared to be a star, but it went from bright, to dim, then disappeared. At the same time the "V" appeared to be dropping, not going away from me as an aircraft should. Then another "star" appeared in a different area of the sky, but still around the "V". Once again it repeated the cycle as the one before it: bright, dim, then disappeared. By the time I got to my exit at 30th and Dodge, a third "star" was starting what appeared to be the same cycle, but I lost it after the horizon went behind the tree line by Boystown/Creighton hospital. By the time I got to the top of Cuming and 40th the "V" was starting to go below the tree line further west without any more sightings of the "stars." During the drive from Council Bluffs the "star" locations were as follows: 9 o'clock of the "V", 6 o'clock of the "V" and 3 o'clock of the "V", almost exactly.
