Cigar over Topeka, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On December 26, 2020 I was on my patio and spotted a blue (kind of fuzzy) circular object seemingly flying in no particular pattern. It was approximately 8 PM, dark, cold and clear, although I do not recall seeing stars that night and I don't see any in my video or pictures. I have the pictures and video on my phone but do not have the ability to e-mail them but could send by text. I just now am hearing about the sighting around Hawaii and believe it may be the same thing. If there has been an explanation, I would appreciate a response. Thank you

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Sighting was viewed from my back yard. Visible just above the tree line looking to be but only a few city blocks away was one reflective black UAP. It zig-zagged about left to right and up and down for several minutes I'd say about 4 or 5 minutes. Then it just disappeared NOT zipping off but just diapering, poof gone!

Happened to be outside a little after 8pm CDST in Topeka KS. The object seemed large, black, wing shaped with many light areas, possibly street light reflections. Not bright lights. Brighter than starlight. No sound, no bird sounds, no engine sounds. Only had a pocket flashlight on me with 130 lumens. The object was out of range, flashlight didn't help. Object might be 300 feet above me??? The night was breezy, kind of moved like a "balloon" riding the wind currents. The object was out of sight in about 20 seconds. Not enough time to get a larger lumen flashlight.Object seemed to be traveling SSW. It wasn't a flock of birds, but that could also be used to describe the size of the black wing. Looking at the object as a whole, it looked like the shape was gossamer with 40 or more reflection areas/lights and black.

One single ball or circular light traveling at high speed from west to east. My husband and I watched this UAP for about 3 min. In witch it faded out and disappeared. I recorded this UAP from my back yard we were burning off some brush do you will see that flame light in the background. The fire on video makes the UAP to look like it flickers a few times. But this UAP was a solid bright light . I did take two videos. The second video shows the UAP behind the tree in my yard. So you will see what looks like flickering but it's just behind the tree branches.

Three solid white lights in a triangle formation coming from easy going west. No noise at all. Lol flying as if just above tree line. Myself and husband and friend witnessed this. As also another friends friend had also seen this UAP from Home Depot. So there's 3.5 witnesses. No question or doubt at all what we were looking at. A UAP in the real. Amazing experience.
