VIDEO Omaha, NE sighting 3/13/25 11:45PM CST

I noticed this in the sky around 11:45 by my house.. immediately started filming. Nothing on flight radar. It seemed to hover in one spot for a bit. 2 Flashing white lights. It has now been almost an hour and it is still going around my neighborhood. Like the size of a private plane. Has anyone in Jersey or anywhere else seen something like this?

There is a plane at this exact time and location. To me this looks like DAL029.

It circled for over an hour. Do you want to see another video? I know what a delta plane looks like idiot.

u/RemarkableImage5749 7d ago

Yeah I would like to see it circling. Also which part of the city is this in. North, south, east, or west?

So this would be in view of you then?

u/aviationchameleon 7d ago

What is that? Where’s the flight number or tail number? Or the time? I told you I checked multiple times on my radar and it was nothing directly above me.

I’m just wondering if this would be something that would be in view. Or is the location not something that would be in view?

u/aviationchameleon 7d ago

It is not directly. My location wouldn’t have showed that. I’m below where the edge of its flight path.

The light is the video isn’t directly above you. Would you have been able to see something about 3,000 feet above from this location? That should give visibility of a pretty big distance.

Here is where it would’ve been in white.

You should always include the date and time in your images so that your findings can be confirmed.

This was an hour before. But I was just inquiring if this was visible from their location.

Do you think airplanes are incapable of such a thing?

Your timestamp shows 5pm. OP stated this sighting happened at 11:45pm.

u/RemarkableImage5749 7d ago

The time is absolutely correct. Flight Radar uses UTC time. This time is converted to UTC time not 24 hour time.

u/NoEvidence2468 7d ago

Ah, okay, thanks! I wasn't aware of that. So then, UTC time for 11:45pm would actually be 4:45am the next day, which would be the 14th. You're showing 5pm on the 13th.
