We saw a huge circle and then it vanished Me and my friend were chatting in front of his house, on southwest Wichita, ks. And then we saw a 1/2 circle in the sky it was huge it stayed there for a hot minute and then vanished. I am skeptical when it come to UFO but this experience made me believe that they really exist.

Saw 1 black triangle flying East at low altitude. It was dark out. Solid green lights on 2 front corners, red light on back corner.
I was driving south-west at night. There was an apartment building to my left and storage facility to my right. Above the storage facility were two green lights.
They were east-bound, heading towards me. As they got closer, I could make out shape of a triangular craft, with the green lights situated on the two front corners. There was a triangular bevel under the body of the craft , which was nearly as dark as the sky.
As it passed overhead, I made a U-turn in the driveway of the apartment complex to view the craft from behind. I could only see one red light, presumably the back corner of the triangular craft, heading east (towards downtown Kansas City). The craft moved at a steady pace.
I’m not sure of scale, but it seemed lower to the ground than an airplane or helicopter. It made no noise and left no trail. There was no one else on the road at the time.
There was one car leaving the apartment complex as the craft exited my field of view. I parked in the apartment complex and immediately tried to call my brother. The call dropped several times (at least 5).
I could not reach him until I got home. I usually wouldn't have thought much of it, but decided to report that detail as technological disruptions sometimes accompany UAP sightings. An illustration is attached.

I was taking a video of the flyover and during review I noticed several shinny objects mimicking the aircrafts While watching Leavenworth Veterans Day parade, approximately 11:00am the parade halted to allow a flyover to celebrate Veterans day. I was taking a video and didn't notice anything strange until I reviewed the videos. On closer look I noticed that at least nine UFO's were moving in and out of sight at incredible speeds.
As the flyover was close to being centered above the parade area I noticed the UFO's mimicking the aircraft formation with one of them being steady in an over watch position. The time between movements was just seconds. The speed at which they moved up and down had to generate high G's, not only that but they seemed to stop so sudden that it must have been unmanned.
I don't think that anyone could have piloted an aircraft that would have traveled that fast and stopped so sudden. The UFO's also seemed to hover while the aircrafts passed by. They made several formations, a "V" formation, a three by three formation and a four point square formation.
Upon reviewing the video I took some snapshots of the UFO's and the formations to study the objects, and the objects were solid and round.

Glowing orange orbs traveling across the night sky. 10-12 glowing orange balls were seen passing over the eastern end of Lawrence Ks. These orange balls were traveling from SE to NE, and were traveling roughly in a line.
Several times one of the balls could be seen to pass other balls before fading out. This fading out appeared to happen when the balls would travel higher, out of eye-shot. It was fully dark at this time and I was walking from my neighbor's yard back to mine when I noticed them.
I have never seen anything like this before. My background is educated, office worker, and not prone to believing in conspiracy theories. But this was weird!.

It was stationary, with a red light. I looked to my West, and another one, identical, with same red light. Other person captured photos We were in the front pasture because the horses were all lined in a row acting bizarre.
We walked out to them, and I looked up at the sky, and there was something not of this world.it was about twice the size of the brightest stars, and a red light. then I looked West, and there was another one, in the distance.
I stated. UFO and was in awe. I was 7 miles from a black top road, in the country.
This was no mistake. The photos showed something different than what I saw, but still, not of this world. I knew the starlink satellites immediately at a summer party.
I researched SpaceX, as well, and Elon's ships are nothing like what we witnessed. Other bizarre things happened at the farm, as well. I was too scared to report to the government, and stupidly reported it on Facebook.
Soon after, all my posts went straight to my local police department. I have lost all my friends over this, as well. The pictures revealed 3 ships in one.
Of one, of the two I saw.

8 Red Lights Observed Observed 10-12 red lights in a circle, in the area of the big dipper bottom left star of the cup. We were facing directly north. The lights stayed in place in that area for at least 5 minutes that I observed, before ever so slowly moving in a westerly direction.
There were no sounds. There was an aircraft that had a flight path that went in close to the lights. I was not able to get a picture of the lights.

Yellowish lights and a string of lights near Beaumont Kansas We were on highway 400 about 50 miles east of Wichita Kansas. To our north at about a 45 degree angle above the horizon there was a yellowish light for a few seconds, then another about 7 degrees to the right of that (my finger length at arm’s length is about 7 degrees). The first light went out and a third light appeared a few degrees below the second one.
These two stayed on together for about 3 seconds then a string of 6 lights appeared below the third on and stayed on for about 5 seconds. The second light then turned off and about 2 seconds later the string of lights went out. All the lights were a bright yellowish color and moved slightly relative to each other.

Saw 2 firey orbs moving iand hovering n unison Peter, I follow and respect your work, have also spoken to you several times over the years. I'm a researcher in the field, worked for ((personal and employment history deleted)) crystal skull researcher. I was driving on highway I-35 Friday night and saw two orb shaped balls of fire hovering and moving in unison slowly to the south of the highway.
They seemed to be observing a traffic jam from road construction. It was very brief and gave off no vibe/feeling which seemed to indicate they may have been ours or drones.

Long orange light in the sky traveling north Went outside for a smoke. Noticed an orange light lower on the horizon to the south . At first, I could not see movement.
As I watched for the next couple of minutes, I could see it rising higher as it was coming straight towards me. It's partly cloudy tonight, so I could see it disappear behind a cloud then come out. It stayed one steady speed and soon it was directly overhead.
It was long, narrow, almost like a rocket (tube) on it's side and had no flashing lights. The whole object was lit with an orange glow. Once it passed overhead, it went behind a cloud, appeared and disappeared a couple times in the breaks in the clouds, then disappeared for good behind clouds.
I checked where the space station was located which was nowhere near my location, but it was larger than that. It was not an airplane. I heard no noise either.

Three equal rectangles were spotted in the western sky, approximately 30-45 degrees from the horizon. They had a glow similar to a star, but appeared for less than 10 seconds and then reappeared at a similar height about twenty degrees south immediately for another three seconds. Two people witnessed the event while stargazing from Fall River State Park and one photo was taken of the second location.

Sunny day with fluffy white clouds in a blue sky. I was riding in a SUV and saw in front of me, about 1000 ft up, a bullet shaped, silver, small craft. I saw it for a few moments, then it moved very quickly behind a small cloud.
Then the cloud moved cancelling the craft, much faster than I've ever seen a cloud move. Then the cloud vanished after a few seconds.

Driving home early morning 3 bright orange lights were witnessed on the south side of the city on highway 75.
