Two mysterious red lights floating across the sky, it lasted about 4 minutes and suddenly disappeared.
There was 2 red lights floating across the sky, they seemed to come from the middle of no where and suddenly kept coming closer and dissapeared, it was two flashing lights I took a glimpse and they were both shaped like saucers.

A hovering large, rectangle-shaped object with lights over the 150th St. area just south of Dodge Expressway
Between 144th and 156th street exits on the Dodge Expressway, I saw a large object in the sky. It was a large rectangle shape and all across the front, it had bright white lights.
Underneath the craft, you could see what looked like a faint light coming from inside the object. At the back, was a red light.
It came from the Southwest and hovered over about 150th St., on the south side of Dodge for about three minutes.

Location: Paton, IA
Shape: Formation
Duration:over a hour
A opening in space that formed a hole from which I could see many flying objects keeping the hole open.
I went outside to feed my cats at around 21:30 and living out in the country I have very few lights so I have a clear view of the sky. As I bent over to put cat food in the cat’s bowls I saw a streak of light from the corner of my eye as I was beginning to bend over. I looked up and the first thing I saw was how bright the planet Jupiter was and then I saw another blast of light which pinpointed where the first light I saw had come from.
I stood there in awe with my mouth open because I could not believe what I was seeing. It was a clear night with a few clouds and a soft breeze blowing and what I saw was a hole in the sky. It was dark outside but enough light to show that clouds were around this hole but not blocking it.
Inside this hole which almost seemed like looking through a tunnel, it was very clear through it almost like it really wasn’t our sky. It was full of dancing lights that moved around all over the place and once in awhile they moved together in synch. One more time I saw a blast of light come from something inside this hole that exited and seemed to go into our clouds.
The beam looked like this: --------- -- ------ -- -------- -- ------------ -- ------------- -- -----------.
It was long and short beams going in a straight line. No sounds were ever heard during all this. Most of the lights were red and white with a slight amber color on one.
It seemed they were working on keeping this hole open and around the outside portion of the hole in what I think were clouds; they seemed to be manipulating the clouds or something into something that would appear alive. In other words, the outside of the hole along with the inside of the hole seemed like a living entity. It moved very fluently as if looking around.
I totally could not believe this and I ran in the house and called my parents to see if they saw anything from where they live 20 miles away.
My dad said he saw something in the east but I told what I was watching was South East I went to my neighbors across the road and they stepped out and I had to point it out to them where to look.
They both stood there in amazement and couldn’t believe it either how these bright dancing lights moved inside, and how the outer portions of the hole would move as if it were alive. At that moment two packs of coyotes started to howl and my neighbor’s wife went in the house. I came back to my place and called my dad and then I went out to see if the hole was still there. It was, but this time much fainter and fewer lights are in it.
I can handle lights in a tunnel like hole but it bothered me how it was forming shapes that almost seemed humanoid at times. The best way I can describe it is think of yourself as a tiny ant inside a hollow egg. Someone comes along and drills a hole in the egg and puts his eye up to the egg to see the ant inside. The ant would see you and see you moving from his perspective outside that hole. That is what it looked like to me. A giant peephole with something holding this hole open manipulating the area around it and then moving this animated matter in the shape of an animal or human reaching and grabbing things. If the bible is true and they say god will open the heavens and you will see him then I think I just saw a practice run, because I still don’t believe what I saw, but I did, and it’s disturbing.

Something is out there.
It was late at night out in the country where there are no other lights in the sky, except starlight. We went outside to have a cigarette. As we were talking we noticed to the south of use four pulsing lights in the sky. Two of the craft seem to try to get our attention by doing semicircles with one another, well it worked. The crafts stayed in the same position for several minutes. These crafts moved at amazing speeds as they widened their gap between one another to for a straight line across the night sky. After a few minutes the craft to our far left took off sideways heading southeast as the second one appeared to head out of the Earth’s atmosphere, and the other two disappeared downwards below the tree line, so we did not get to see them again. Shortly after they were all out of view there was the sound of a high flying jet. This I know because my job in the military was working with military aircrafts. There were not lights for this craft and the direction of its sound could not be determined, and it was not the sound of a civilian jet. I have heard this sound before. I could only speculate that it was stealth in nature. I would have not thought anything about it, but for its timing after the foreign craft left. The jet made may passes over the area before it could not be heard again. The funny thing is that in that area there is normally civilian air traffic; however, there was none. There is one other thing to add. The night before, around the same time, I was getting up to use the restroom and have a cigarette like I normally do. I tried to sit up out of bed, but there seemed to be a force that would not allow me to. There was chatter all around me. I tried to look left and right, but could not seem to focus on any given direction. Then it appeared I was no longer in my bed, but hovering in the doorway to my room. Another force pulled me forward. It made me feel uneasy. I could feel whatever was controlling me felt my unrest. I was suspended in the doorway for an unknown period of time. The next second I was on my bed on my back looking up at the ceiling.The ceiling started to glow a bluish white light, or that there may have been a light behind it. Right above me was a symbol of a blue cross inside of a rectangle that was pressing itself through the ceiling as though it was a type of branding tool.The last thing I remember was my alarm going off at seven thirty in the morning, and I was no longer on my back, but on my stomach faced down on my pillow. I do not know what this experience was about, and nothing like this has ever happened to me, but I have known all my life that I was not alone, and that I was meant for something. I hope this helps figure out what is going on.

Reported: 1/2/2011 7:08:42 PM 19:08
Posted: 1/5/2011
Location: Exeter, NE
Shape: Sphere
Duration:3 hours
In a rural area, a rotating sphere with red, green, and other colored lights was sighted about 700 feet above the ground in the southwestern sky. The viewers noticed this craft from a second story farmhouse window on the night of the solar eclipse. The UFO was guessed to be a 30 minute drive from their home. They are familiar with planets such a Jupiter (which is currently shining in the southwestern sky at this time.) The craft hovered for over three hours. The viewers were frightened and did not attempt to get in a vehicle to drive closer for a better view. They did, however, use binoculars in their attempt to describe the craft. It was, as stated to me, definitely a sphere, definitely rotating, possessing colored lights around its perimeter, and it maintained a consistent altitude.The 40 year old daughter saw the craft, after nearly three hours of viewing... simply VANISH into thin air.
What is the credibility of these witnesses? All four have bachelor/masters degrees. They are intelligent, "sensible", low key individuals who do not wish to be interviewed or identified. They notified me because I share an interest in the night sky. I can think of no family as credentialed or credible as this family. The veracity of their statements is beyond question.

Strange light in Kearney, Nebraska
After July 4th 2010 I have found myself watching the sky a lot more than usual. And on July 6th at 11:13 Pm My Husband and I noticed a very strange light in the sky moving to the southeast. It passed underneath an airplane as it was moving. We noticed it was no further than a half mile in the air and about 5 miles to the north west of us. It moved very fast and came right over the top of my house. To start off it was a very bright white light. But the closer it got it seemed to change from white to orange. As it got over my house my husband and I looked up and the light was so bright we could not see past the light to see what it was. It made no noise at all, which I thought was very strange due to how close it was. But then the light seemed to fade and what ever it was just disappeared. It was gone by 11:16 pm. Only lasted 3 minutes but it has really intrigued me. I am going to go by a video camera because it seems as if these sightings are happening more o! ften in this area. I will be ready if I ever see another one so I can catch it and prove to everyone I am really not losing my mind.

I happened to be going through old files in my file cabinet over the weekend and came across two old reports Tim Kappers had done of the first significant sighting of something strange in the Arapahoe, NE skies back in the 1980’s. My section is new; based on what I remember.
~D
The following are three accounts of an incident south of Arapahoe, NE (the summer of 1980 or 1981) by three of the six who witnessed it. I have presented mine first as I have the privilege of being the writer. The other two are recollections from reports written sometime in the late 1980’s or early 1990’s.
Dennis Walker
In July of 1980 or 81 (I’m unclear as to which, now) a group of people which consisted of: myself, my younger brother, Royce; my friend and co-worker, Tim; his sister Linda & her friend Dionne; and a co-worker/friend of both Tim and I, Doug; loaded into Doug’s blue Plymouth and “cruised” up and down Arapahoe’s main thoroughfare (which was common for youth of the time to do, as a way to see who else was out and about). Doug was the driver; as far as I remember, Dionne was in the front seat between Doug and Tim. I was in the back seat on the driver’s side; Linda next to me and Royce on the passenger’s side.
As part of our route, Doug drove south of town crossing first the Muddy Creek Bridge and then the Republican River, turning east on a narrow, dusty road that followed the north bank of the river for several miles and was lined by trees and tall grass. No one lived in this area at that time. We turned onto the road as the last rays of sunlight disappeared in the west.
As we had done many times before, we stopped approximately a mile down the road and turned around to head back into town. As the car turned a sharp corner before climbing the embankment to the highway, Doug’s car lights met a small cluster of lights hovering approximately several hundred yards away; above a field on the west side of the highway. I didn’t see any kind of structure, such as a helicopter, that the lights could have been coming from, when the car’s lights shined on the floating lights. I saw no reflections.
Doug stopped the car and we all voiced our amazement. Doug decided he had seen enough, speeding onto the highway and north toward town. The lights (yellow, red, blue and white) followed us along the west side of the highway, easily matching our speed (frightening Doug even more). As we neared Arapahoe, the light cluster disappeared, leaving us wondering what we had seen.
I’m 99% sure there was no sound and I saw no reflection from propellers, etc when the car lights hit the cluster. I have no idea what it was.
Tim Kappers
Date of sighting: July 21, 1981
Weather: Clear, cool, 80 degrees, light wind.
Where: South of Arapahoe, Nebr. 3/4 mile
Time: 10:00 p.m. or after
Path of object: SW to NE
Lights: Clear, red, blue
“Saw object in the western sky over trees along the river. Watched object for five minutes or so, turned north towards town. Object followed along with car for about 100 yards or so, then it just took off. Car was maybe going 40 mph at that time.”
Linda Kappers
Date of sighting: July, 20, 1980
Where: South of Arapahoe
Time: 9:30-10:00 p.m.
Path: South-Northeast
Shape: Long
Comments: Hovering long time then took off.
At the time the last two reports were taken, the other three witnesses declined to offer their recollections and no follow up has been done at this point.
