No of observers: 1

Location: Omaha, NE, USA

Shape: Disk

White disc sighted while driving in Omaha.

I was driving North on 50th St coming up to the F St. Intersection. Glancing to my right I noticed a white disc shaped object rising up from the tree line at an angle on the horizon moving in a easterly direction. The object moved straight east for a short distance before I lost sight of it behind a large double billboard. Slowing the car down I caught sight of it again just past F St. as 50th St. dips to head steeply down towards a tunnel. The object made a very quick turn and headed north just before I lost sight of it again due to the dip in the terrain. I went through the tunnel and under the interstate 80 bridge. I tried to spot the object again as I came up the hill on the other side. I was unable to get a good look at the portion of the sky where I had seen the object until I came up to Grover St. due to the amount of trees and homes blocking my view. When I got to the Grover St. intersection and looked around the sky as I waited for the green light. The object was nowhere to be seen. The Object was a smooth briliant white. It had no wings. Its movements were quick yet gracefull. Ive purchased a pocket sized digital camera as a result of this sighting. If I see anything like this again I will be ready to photograph it.
