2004-12-03 - Hershey, NE - Rectangle

I was traveling west on Highway 30 between North Platte and Hershey when I noticed lights in the sky just south of the highway and east end of town spinning and sliding sideways group of light that were Rectanglure in shape. At first I thought I was seeing a Plane, but Planes don't spin. This group of lights spun in a counter clock wise motion and took about 10 seconds to make a revalution. It also drifted to the west in a hover from about mile post 165 to the east end of town. Then the rotation stopped and the craft moved straight North. At this point I had pulled off to the side of the road and got out of my truck. the light were shaped in a Trapezoid formation with a spot light in the center that would come on intermitantly. What ever this craft was it did not make the sounds that a helocopter makes. The only thing I heard was a low continues whooshing sound heavy on the osh part. I stood there for about four minutes watching this object light up the country side with a bright white circle until it was about a mile or so North then the craft shot straight up and out of site. The whole time I watched this craft it was about 700 feet above the ground and I also saw the normal passenger jet aircraft in the sky but they were traveling at their normal altitudes 20k feet or so.
