Unknown amber light moving north to south

We saw an oval Amber light traveling North to South. It was approx 100 foot of the ground. We were within 1/4 mile of it. It flew in a straight line, no rising or weaving. It was traveling 25 - 30 MPH. There was no sound . The shape never changed. I expected to see red lights on its tail, but it never changed shape or color. My wife is a school bus driver of 50. I am a business owner . Doing grading and paving, 49 years old. We have never seen anything like this and joked about people who have. We do not use drugs. We were in the hot tub when this happened.I asked my wife to look then stepped out of the hot tub and around the side of our house to keep an eye on it.Then had to run to the other side of the deck to keep watching it fly south. The light wasn't bright. The ground did not light up. It was about as bright as an amber parking lot light from a few hundred feet away. But this one moved at 25 - 30 MPH and went from just north of Hickman to beyond wher! e we could see to the south.

Hickman Ne. 3:30am Thursday ((sic-Friday)) , two or three weeks ago (I know I should have remembered the exact date)

I was pulling into my driveway in the country and sat to finish listening to a radio program. I noticed a yellow search light or clearance light rotating on what I assumed was on the top of a tractor on a not to distance hill between me and the lake. There are two hills creating a spill way or overflow for the lake.

In the dark I could not figure out if it was on the close hill (1/8th of a mile) or the far hill (1/4th of a mile). The object seemed to glide up the hill and sit there for 40 seconds and then go back down the hill.

I was in complete amazement as to why a tractor with no headlights and only a yellow revolving light on top would be out on restricted government land closed to gas vehicles.

I then noticed no sounds, not even country noises from bugs and related night noises. As the object went behind the hill again I realized I was seeing the bottom of something as the yellow revolving lights were on the grass and trees without a shadow of the object. This realization made me want the safety of my home and bed (I am 47 but the little boy inside me was not going to make the walk to the lake in the dark and figure it out).

In my mind I now know I saw something off the ground as the area is too steep with trees for a land vehicle; also the lights were below the object. The object glowed bright yellow from the bottom. One revolving light did a 360 degree turn every second or so and appeared to be scanning the ground for something.

The spillway is rather long and isolated from the half dozen or so houses near by. It could be used as a landing strip for a small plane. Very wide and flat and a half mile long . I heard nothing and have heard or seen nothing since.

The next day I asked the neighbor if he heard or saw anything the night before, but he did not.

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS))

update: I just filed a report. Then I went to your tab saying enter site. I was interested to see a report listed from a air traffic controller stating an aircraft spotted two or four ufo's outside Omaha going west at 1900 hours on Thursday March 25th. That could fit my timeline on what I saw. I said Thursday, rather it was early Friday morning at 3:30.

I also got the impression that I saw the object and the object saw me. We both retreated.

Date is approximate. We have encouraged the witness to attempt to reconstruct the precise date. PD

NUFORC UFO Sighting 98618
Occurred: 1967-03-02 19:50 Local
Reported: 2013-06-13 13:56 Pacific
Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Hickman, KY, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

6 objects disappear and reappear jumping about 5 miles of airspace to dodge an airplane.

March 2, 1967, was the date of this event. I am now a Christian minister in Tennessee. I am now 61. When I was 14 the following event took place 8 miles SW of Hickman, Kentucky. I was out in the back yard (country without street light) with a pair of cheap binoculars just looking around. It was dark and appeared to be no clouds in the sky. A full moon was shining as it came up in the east. I was looking west across a field and woods. About 23 miles SW of Hickman is Tiptonville, TN. Southwest into Arkansas is located the Blysville Air Force Base in Arkansas.

As first I noticed 3 lights in a V formation. I looked around in other directions and looked back and saw 6 lights in two V formations. They were just above the trees from my view but were close to the location of the winding Mississippi River about 5-10 miles away. These lights appeared to be following the course of the Mississippi River. I went into the house and told my daddy and we went out on the front porch facing north to observe them. They were about 2-4 miles NW. They were bright and there was no sound. Daddy said they were probably airplanes with landing lights on. I said ‘but there is no sound’. Daddy went back in the house. I watched with curiosity. I heard an airplane coming from the east (probably from Union City direction). It was making the usual sound a plane would make.

The airplane appeared to be on a collision course with the 6 lights. I was intensely watching because I expected something to happen to the airplane if these were real UFOs. My eyes were focused on the airplane. My side-view I could see the 6 lights. I looked quickly left and only saw 4 lights. By now the airplane was in the air-space of the first 2 lights. Out of the corner of my right vision I saw the 2 lights about 5 miles away.

I turned my attention back to the airplane. Again I took a quick glance to the left and only saw 2 lights. I immediately looked to the right and saw 4 lights in the distance. Then I figured out what they were (impossibly) doing. This time I focused my attention on the last 2 lights left of the airplane. As the airplane was approaching near their air-space the 2 lights started to sparkle bigger at the top and narrow at the bottom (kind of like a top). When the 2 lights went out I immediately turned my gaze to the location of the 4 lights at my right. Then I observed the 2 lights starting to sparkle (bigger at the top and narrow at the bottom) and then come on like a light bulb glowing. The airplane was all by itself. The 6 lights were still in formation and they never broke stride (speed).

I looked at my watch. It was 8 o’clock. I stayed out in the yard. At 8:10 I heard the roar of jet planes coming from the SW in the direction of the Blysville Air Force Base. They came very low over our house. They were F4 Phantom jet fighters. There were 2 of them and they were proceeding in the direction where I last saw the 6 lights.

This means there should be a record at Blysville Air Force base of this event on radar. I do not know if the airplane pilot made any report on this date.
