Duration: 10 min.
No of observers: 0

Location: Lincoln, NE, USA

Shape: Cigar


Former Airline Captain witnessed three craft flying a wedge formation as follows: Aprox. 100 ft. above ground level traveling from west to east paralell to I-80 est. speed 60 knts. between Lincoln, NE headed towards Omaha. After craft went out of visual contact I got back into my car and within 10 min. the radio station said Omaha listeners were calling the sighting of lights from a strange craft. Police officials were recieving many reports. NASA confirmed the event stating it was only space junk. However, space junk doesn't fly level and I had an excellent observation of the exterior. The craft defied all known physical laws and aerodynamics. The craft made no sound and released a shower of sparks from what looked like a exhaust port.

((FOLLOW-UP CORRESPONDENCE FROM WITNESS))

The cigar shaped objects were moving form west to east approx. on a 090 degree heading.

I was traveling by car to Salt Lake City, UT when I noticed what appeared to be an airplane on the intermediate approach segment of a landing. I saw three landing lights (believed to be a heavy aircraft) approx. 3 miles away and wondered what airport was in the area. After a moment of thought I realized there was no controlled airport close enough to facilitate a landing. My next educated guess was that it might be a military aircraft flying a low level mission. I pulled my vehicle to the side of the rode and stood at the side watching the lights become three separate objects flying in a wedge formation. To my amazement they were cylinders approx. 100 ft. in lenght with a beam of 15 ft. olive colored with a line of port holes. The light on each craft was on the nose. The had no aredynamic sufaces and made no sound.
