Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Omaha, NE, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Red light moving rapidly across the sky in all directions at immense speed.

Sighted at plane height over Omaha, Nebraska. We watched from a hill and initially spotted it as a small, stationary, red ball of light. It would occasionally switch to a blinking green light and then back to red. After looking at it for some time, it rapidly moved to the left, stopped, and it changed to a blinking green light. It then ascended in the blink of an eye (literally). As soon as you blinked, the light was an immense distance higher than it had been a second previously.

We could see it ascending through the clouds so quickly that it could've climbed out of our sight in probably two seconds. It then turned back to a static red light (stopped flashing) and darted to the right across the entire sky. It was moving so quickly that we had to sprint to keep up with it. It covered the whole horizon.

It then paused on a dime, shifted slightly to the left, and began a fast descent until it disappeared from sight into storm clouds. Only one light was observed. It was so high in the sky, and so erratically moving, that we could not place it as any normal object. We have never seen a normal object move so quickly and at such a high height.

It was also quite far away, so for it to look as though it was moving so quickly, it must have been going at an unfathomably rapid speed.
