NUFORC Sighting 83045

Occurred: 2011-07-04 22:00 Local
Reported: 2011-08-10 20:11 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Omaha, NE, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

The object was moving abnormally, with orange rectangular lights around the sides of it that went dim and then very bright.

When my girlfriend and i were out on her third floor apartment balcony watching fireworks on the horizon, we noticed a circular object fly into view, moving back and forth, then stopping, hovering, high above the interstate, then moving away and disappearing very quickly.

About 5 minutes later, it reappeared, moving back and forth, then hovering for approximately 10 minutes above the same part of the interstate before quickly disappearing into the sky.

The object had rectangular orange lights around the sides of it, moving in a circular motion, that appeared to go dim and then very bright, almost looking like an orange star.

We had a chance to examine it enough that there were no red blinking or white lights on it, as we normally see on a helicopter or airplane, it was flying much lower than airplanes we had previously seen flying over this area, and it wasn't moving in a way a helicopter would, as in circling an area.
