Oval over Bellevue, NE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
START TIME: Approximately 2010 Hrs END TIME: Approximately 2030 Hrs I took my dog out to relieve himself just before going to the store, when I noticed an object with flight characteristics which were not similar to any usual air craft. The object was ovular in shape and had lights that were intermittently visible. The lights were an orane-red and yellow color (normal aircraft, even military, have green or red on either wing tip). The object was dark grey in color and seemed to sort of vanish and re-appear suddenly. The object rotated about 240 degrees along its longitudinal axis while maintaining a steady trajectory from SSW (Somewhere west of Platsmouth) to NNE (towards downtown Omaha/Missouri River). It is also important to note that the craft was not uniform in shape, as it rotated, it revealed smooth flat sides along the forward and aft sections of this exotic object. I immediately ruled out celestial bodies such as stars, planets, meteoroids and so forth due to the altitude which I estimate was about 5,000-10,000 feet from ground level. The object emitted no detectable sound despite it's proximity and high rate of speed. I was able to confirm that it was in atmosphere due to the fact that it was passing between the clouds and myself. I could also rule out any sort of illusion or phenomenon as the object was in plain view the most of the time I was observing it. When it seemed to vanish, I was still able to predict where it would re-appear and begin tracking it again as it moved steadily. I observed this first object until I could no longer see it all the while, trying to get my wife's attention who was inside getting our kids ready to go. She finished that about one minute after the initial object disappeared. After about two more minutes pass by. At this time, as we are loading the kids in the truck, both, my wife and I observed a second object matching the description of the first. This object exhibited the same behaviors and travelled what I perceived was the same route. Upon seeing the second object my wife and I changed our plans and decided to drive around in the rural area two miles south of Bellevue Nebraska. Upon beginning our drive, going west on Capehart toward 36th Street, we observed two more objects matching the description of the aforementioned, flying on the same path and a similar altitude. This previously mentioned observation occurred approximately 4 minutes after the second object left visual contact. Upon driving around in the rural areas we observed no further objects. Additional thought tells me that if there were only two objects, they would have to begin traveling from the point of final visual contact to the point of initial contact at an amazing speed while deviating significantly from their originally observed path. It is much more probable that there were a total of 4 objects. To the reader: Be advised that I am a seasoned military member who lives near an AFB. I see various craft on a daily basis at all hours and during all weather conditions yearly. While this occurred after sunset, the sky was mostly clear and there was near maximal lighting from the moon. I am well versed in aircraft and discerning between any sort of optical illusion or phenomena. Based on these circumstances, I conclude that these were some form of manufactured, atypical craft which were intelligently controlled. I draw no other conclusions. I attempted to record the second occurrence on my phone but as you can imagine the video quality does not do the event justice. I do however, still have the video.

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.

Few miles away from Offutt AFB while at a drive in movie. Coming back from the concessions areas my son I witnessed the object. We could not make out shape other than a light in the distance, object was moving uncharacteristically (i.e. not like an airplane, helicopter, or even a drone (was aloft for too long)) and moved in multiple directions very quickly. No no flashing lights like a regular aircraft would. In examination of our 20ish minutes of video (poorly shot on an iPhone 10X max which made everything appear much further away), light appears to be rotating. Was joined for a short while by a second light, but was gone quickly.

It was a white and green sphere almost like a giant ball. I think it was 8 feet tall and 8 feet wide but im not sure. It was outside and pretty high up in the sky but not too high. It made a weird crinkling noise like plastic being crumpled up. It just sat there and didnt move but right before it left it made a pop sound and went away so fast you could barely see it leave.

We were setting in our back yard looking for shooting stars whe. We started seeing things going across the sky. Some could possably been satellites and a couple were shooting stars but some i don't know what they were. You would catch a flash then it would go across the sky like a plane but moving at a high rate of speed very high up and there was no tail.

I have been experiencing a alien voice in my head after a very strange experience a voice in my head for two days now, after a strange experience while I was sleeping. I felt a hand reach in my head, and it left something. I thought I was dreaming. I have since heard a voice call itself the hookstra. They are asking me questions about our planet. They are trying to learn more about humans. They are telling me to let everyone know they do not come in piece and they want to evict us from the planet. The way the talk to us is very strange, whatever they use hooks our thoughts. After you answer, the say things like “smart”, and don’t flip the script if I ask questions they do not want to know. I thought ai was dreaming but I did see an enitity run off and I do have a photo of the likeness of what it looks like. I do not know how to send you a photo. I am sending a photo via email. My phone number is 402-XXX-XXXX ((deleted))

I was driving home from work when I looked up and I could see an oval shaped UFO looking aircraft being followed by a helicopter. It has a few very bright lights so bright I could see the aircraft was metal. It flew pretty low to the ground, I gained speed and I could see it going far away but then when I took a turn all of a sudden I saw it in front of me and the helicopter lost it. I then saw it lowering down to the ground, so low I couldn't see it behind some houses about 1000 feet away when I drove past the houses where the UFO was I saw it flying at the same distance from the ground foward and then it gained speed losing track of it. The UFO had a long strip of a white light and a yellowish light on the front. Also when I came home there were two fading lines in the sky.

On November 24th, 2019 I and another person witnessed over 100 ufo’s glowing lights that were in a line that went across the sky and it took about 5 minutes for all of them to cross.
