SIGHTING: LINCOLN, NEBRASKA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"On 8-12-15, at approximately 12:30 am, I had went outside to see if I could see any meteors from the shower that's supposed to be happening. I started in my front yard, looking west. I noticed a bright orange "sparkling" or flashing object in the sky, just above the tree line. I dismissed it as a planet. I sat in my chair for about 5 minutes, while my fiancée went to the back yard. He called me to the back, and pointed it out. I said it was probably a planet. We both went to the front yard and we're looking into the sky. After a few minutes, he decided to go back and look at the "planet". It had completely disappeared out of the western sky. We then discovered it had moved to the northeastern sky area, just above the tree line, it was low and flashing orange, red, blue, and green with a white stationary light in the background, possible on the craft. We watched it for quite a while. As I'm making this report, it is 2:16 am on 8-12-15. It was ascending, while very slowly moving to the east. We sat stationary in a chair to make sure we weren't moving and watched the object finally move behind a tree. At that time, we walked down the sidewalk, about 5 feet, and could see it again. It seems the make jerky motions, almost like 2 steps forward, one step back. As we were losing sight behind the tree, we noticed a second object same in color and lighting, possible smaller, or just appeared that way due to distance. It was ascending to the first object we seen, at a much faster pace. We both are very curious as to what it is. We decided to come inside and it could still be seen ascending into the east while the second object seemed to be trying to catch up to the first one. "
