Triangle over York, NE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Outside of my house at approx. 2100 hours, I noticed an object flying at what looked like 20000 feet. I had no time to photograph. I ran inside, and got on my computer to find no current flights within 100 miles of my location, and the I.S.S was off the west coast. There where a total of 7 lights, one wide V shaped, and next to it, a large T shape. Moving far too fast to be a plane, and too slow to be a satellite
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #124566). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

We were getting things ready for the lake the next day when our neighbors hollered at us to come check this out. We went over there and he says "are we seeing things or do you guys see this also" we saw lights following one another in total of 9 way too close to be an airplane or any other craft due to turbulence. When one would disappear in the front of the line one would appear at the back of the line until eventually one by one they all just vanished and we couldn't see any thing else. Clear sky's no meteor shower acts like that no drones around here.....

11:17 p.m CST. (The before situation) This is when I first snuck outside to go stargazing for a while. When I first came outside I began to watch the stars and relax as the last day of school for me is the 5th of May 2017. I see the usual things such as a few shooting stars, twinkling of the stars, and just normal stuff one would see in the night sky. Minutes pass by as my friend and I were talking about the what Earth would look like from space. 11:34 p.m CST.(The Sighting itself) Now at this time I was just glancing around in the sky when I first saw it and pointed it out to my friend. It looked like a meteor at first from a very far distance. This was in the East/South sky, about 75-80 degrees. It was such a bright flash of light compared to other stars and it didn't just go away. For a minute I thought it was just another planet. Then thoughts crossed my mind if it was a man made satellite. It couldn’t have been however. It was moving different directions. First traveling towards the South sky. Then it began crossing in a back and forth motion. It would occasionally stop for a minute or two. Then it would go back up and move in this back and forth motion. At this point I stood up knowing it was not man made, as my friend tracked it, I ran quickly grabbed my high powered laser pointer (10 Mile radius Class 4 green colored) my friend pointed it out and we shone it to see if there would be reaction from it. It did seem to react which was very interesting meaning it must have spotted this light, at least a very low power of it. As soon as i shone at this light, it stopped and stood still. It didn't move for at least 5 minutes. It moved again and I shone at it again. The craft stopped again. By this point my friend and I ran inside and changed and began looking up who records these sightings. 11:48 p.m CST. (The call in) After seeing this I began looking for somebody who would take in this sighting. I googled exactly where to report and immediately called the hotline. 11:50 p.m CST. I told the man at first how i swear it was not a prank call. I forgot his name (I asked at the end and completely forgot) I explained it as “A fireball" looking thing that switched directions in the sky” It was in more words but if I were not so panicky of giving a 15 second detail it would've sounded better. He told me to make a report on what me and my friend saw and in a way he could describe it. Therefore, I made this report in order to show that a sighting is just a matter of paying attention. 12:09 a.m CST. I began writing the report and finally finished at 12:30 a.m . Thank you for taking note of my findings.

I witnessed 2 flickering, orange lights over York at two different times. First sighting was at around 21:00. Lights flickering quickly and in no discernible pattern. Watched for nearly a minute as the progressed from south to north before blinking out. The local fireworks display began shortly thereafter. Display concluded at appx 22:30 and I sighted the objects again. The second sighting lasted for nearly 3 minutes as the two "craft" circled each other, stood motionless for a few moments then parted ways. One proceeded east until it was out of sight. The other proceeded north until it had disappeared from view.
