Circle over Lexington, NE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We didn’t see a craft. What we saw a flashing moving light. It was off to my left. At first I thought it was an airplane. But then I thought it was too low . It quickly shot to my right (north), it quickly changed direction and came toward us (East) then quickly changed direction and shot off northeast. I thought it looked blue with a white glow. My friend thought it was green with a white glow.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158469). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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 at Tyson to pick up my mom and then my brother noticed some white little spheres in the sky, I thought he was lying. I checked it out and there was about 6 or 7 aircrafts, the thing is, they were flying about the height planes fly, and they looked the size of a commercial plane, I took a video if it and I fought about 4 flying objects, it was pretty scary.

Location: Lexington, NE; Dawson County Call received in: Kearney, NE; Buffalo County Date: 6/21/19 Time: ~21:12 I received a call from my father around 21:00 where he told me that the object was still hanging in the same location. We spoke for about 10 minutes before he excitedly mentioned an object with a flaming tail moving toward the initial UFO. He didn’t mention any sort of strike, but the second “flame-tail” object continued moving east. Within a minute, I could see this second object above Kearney, flying surprisingly low. It was streaking a pair of vapor trails as it flew east. It was flying low enough that my phone could flicked in and out of focus on it as I trying taking snapshots. What my dad assumed was a flaming tail, I figured was the reflection of the sunset on the lower-rear hull, as the sun was setting. As low as the plane was, the wingspan seemed too narrow to be a commercial airliner. It was also flying far faster than I recall my flight from Denver to Omaha ever going, as it flew into Kearney airspace and left it in what felt like less than a minute. As a strange coincidence, several sirens started going off near my house at the same time. I couldn’t tell if they were police or ambulance sirens, but they faded before long.

We were just sitting out on the porch smoking a cigarette when i looked up and saw this huge orange light in the sky.. i immediately ran in the house and got everyone outside to look.. it approached from the north headed south and continued south till it disapeared.. at the point that it was just over us we could see that it was pretty large, saucer shaped... only one single light... Orange... glowing for the top of the vessel. I DO have a video of the object but it is as it was further away and leaving the area, however my camera is very high quality... if i am contacted further by an investigator I will share the video.
