SIGHTING: O'NEILL, NEBRASKA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"This is a report I posted on another website before I learned of MUFON. I don't know how long the lights were there. I remember I was amazed by this super cell thunderstorm I was approaching so I was watching the lightning show. At one point out of the corner of my eye I noticed these lights in the sky. It was dark so there was no shape just the amber lights. It would be hard to tell the distance. It was clearly above the horizon above any other farm yard lights. If I held my hand out at arms length I'd say if I held my thumb and finger out to measure the distance the light took up was maybe 6 inches apart. They were maybe aspirin sized and I'd say at least 1/4 to 1/2 mile away. Below is my account the way I remembered it back in 2012. I'd have to say I was not surprised at what I saw. I feel the universe is to big to believe we are the only intelligent life that exists. I've always looked up every time I go outside wondering what else is out there. I did contact the state patrol after I returned from my fishing trip. They got back with me and said there were no other reports and the air force base in Omaha didn't report any in the area that night. I would like to do a video animation of what I remembered. I haven't yet.Occurred : 5/17/2012 22:30 (Entered as : 5/17/2012 22:50)Reported: 5/21/2012 7:34:35 AM 07:34Posted: 6/2/2012Location: O'Neil, NEShape: LightDuration:30 seconds to 1 minute About 10:30 pm I noticed a string of yellow/orange lights in the sky on northern Nebraska.I saw something strange around 10:30 pm. Basically I was driving north from O'Neil towards Spencer on HWY 281 in Nebraska and I was watching the sky because there was a storm in the distance to the northwest of me and clear skies north and east of me. When suddenly I noticed lights north of me just to the east side of the hwy. The lights were clearly above the horizon in the sky. It seemed like they might have been moving independently then they came together in a horizontal row of 4 lights and were evenly spaced apart. The cluster appeared to be hovering. Then they began to move, but the cluster as a whole stayed in the same place. The light on the right side of the row of 4 lights stayed stationary the entire time and the other 3 began to scroll toward the stationary light. It was like the lights were on something round and it was rotating right so the lights were still evenly spaced and moving toward the stationary light. When a light came close to the stationary light it would disappear and a new light would appear on the left side of the 4 lights. It scrolled like this 5-10 seconds or so. Then the outside 2 lights stayed stationary. So between the 2 stationary lights from the left to right a light would scroll toward the one stationary light on the right side and it would disappear when it reached the light and a new one would come out from the stationary one on the left move over to the stationary light on the right again. It did this 5-10 seconds or so and I went to grab my camera and just before I turned it on they all just went out and I never saw them again. It was strange. I've never seen anything I couldn't explain before so this was a first. I am curious if anyone else reported anything. "
