Oval over Nebraska City, NE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 11:10 on Satuday, July 28th, lights were seen coming out of the north northeast and disappearing into the southern sky. Lights were light green in color and not well defined. No noise at all was heard on a very quiet night. Four lights in total were observed. All sightings lasted 10 seconds from first observance. Second two traveled in perfect tandem; side by side at first, and switched position to top to bottom before disappearing from sight. Distance between the two lights never changed. Fourth green light behaved the same as the first. There were approximately 30 seconds between sightings. To our knowledge, all activity ceased by 11:15.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #142484). 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.
