My wife saw a bright light appear (in daylight) while we were driving west toward blair, ne on friday, september 27th, around 6pm. before i looked, it had disappeared. i thought that it was possibly an airplane reflecting the sun but was unable to see any planes. on thursday, october 3rd, at 9:45pm, i was standing on my front porch looking to the west and saw a bright light appear out of nowhere (at 45 degrees from the horizon). it did not move, and lasted only 3-5 seconds before disappearing. on friday october 4th, i was telling my wife about it while we were both out on the front porch. i pointed to the sky where i had seen it, and as we were looking that direction, the light appeared again for both of us to see. again, it lasted 3-5 seconds before disappearing. this occurred at 9:55pm in the same location. the light was high in the atmosphere, and was at least 20x brighter than any star. i watched the sky again on saturday october 5th but did not see any activity from 9:30pm-10:30pm. however, the light appeared again on sunday, october 6th in the same location, but much later (10:41pm). each occurrence was at the same location in the sky, and with the same intense bright white light. i have continued to watch the skies at night around those time frames but have not seen it occur since oct. 6th.
