SIGHTING: TOPEKA AND LAWRENCE (BETWEEN), KS

Witness Testimony

"A single strange object in the sky above highway from Topeka to LawrenceI was driving from Topeka to Lawrence and about the area of a rest stop I notice a strange object in the sky. On first glance I thought it was a low flying plane then that didn't seem right so I figured it was a cell phone tower with exceptionally bright lights at the top. The shape of the object was horizontal bright lights at either end and dimmer lights in between. As I got closer to the object it became obvious that it wasn't a cell phone tower because it seemed to be right over the highway. I was actually able to drive under the lights. As I got closer and was actually under the object the shape seemed different... The bright lights and dimmer lights were still there but I seems to have a different shape...there were more lights and they were different colors. I have never seen anything so strange before, and as I drove under it, the object seemed almost stationary. I didn't hear any noise or experience any loss of power in my car. There were other cars around me at that time but I have no idea if anyone else saw the object other than me. As I passed under the object I glanced in my rearview mirror to see if I could still see the object but it seemed to have disappeared. In an attempt to explain the lights I scanned the area behind me see if I could see where they came from but there was no bright lights or anything that could have produced them...I am a graduate student at the University of Kansas. I have never before had an encounter with an unidentified flying object."
