00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,320
This report of sightings in the last five minutes from an area about Omaha through

2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:20,200
Wobach through Rapid City up into North Dakota by Dickinson Fargo and then back down through

3
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,200
the Minneapolis area as well.

4
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:29,400
There's a lot by air carriers, United Americans, U.S. airs, whatever.

5
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:35,120
They all seem to have some sort of formation flight of either three or four of some sort

6
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,840
of...we're getting reports from flashing lights to rotating beacons to actual aircraft.

7
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:47,320
I'm not sure if there's been anything reported re-entering the atmosphere as far as space

8
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,000
junk breaking up or anything that would cause something like this or what?

9
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
We could check on that.

10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Did they give any flight paths?

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:03,200
Let's see, the one that was down on Wobach, they estimated the altitude was about 450 when

12
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:10,000
it was on a heading course of 140 degrees, I guess, from Northwest and Southeast.

13
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Okay.

14
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,000
And we're not showing anything unusual on our radar other than actual aircraft targets.

15
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Okay, if we get anything on that, we'll get back to you.

16
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Thanks for calling.

17
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Have you got anything getting reported?

18
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Yes, we did get quite a few reports out of the Midwest.

19
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Yeah.

20
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Where was your location at the time?

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Okay, we were on the 120-degree radial opposite Sydney VLR, 150 nautical miles out of there.

22
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Yes.

23
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:51,000
And it was approximately at 0245 Zulu, a Greenwich time.

24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
How many objects did you see?

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:00,000
When I first spotted it, it looked like it was a cluster of objects, but I think it

26
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
was probably because it looked like it had position-like parameters.

27
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
At first I thought it was an airplane.

28
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Yes.

29
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,000
But we were at 43,000 feet and it went almost directly overhead of us.

30
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:21,000
What we had to do was about 47,000 on a heading of about 130.

31
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,000
And it appeared to be rather large and it had two contrails, but it appeared to be to

32
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
us smoke coming out of it.

33
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Okay.

34
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
How long did it take you to watch that?

35
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Not very long.

36
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,000
When I first spotted it, in fact, I thought it was a star off in the distance and then

37
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
I was tracking it and it was moving.

38
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000
I guess probably we saw it for maybe 20 seconds or so.

39
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Okay.

40
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
If we can get any follow-up, we'll sure get back to let you know.

41
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Yeah, because it actually came pretty, it was about three miles from us laterally and

42
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000
about 3,000, 4,000 feet over us, so it came pretty close to us and it was pretty big,

43
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000
whatever it was.

44
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Okay, thanks for the call.

45
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Okay.

46
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Bye.

47
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Bye.
