Wichita’s Mystery in the Sky | UFO NEWS – VIDEO
WICHITA, Kan. — Jeff Templin is a amateur photographer. He says he’s seen it all until now. While taking pictures of wildlife back in February, something caught his eye. He said it looked like an unusual contrail.
“Right over the city, clear as a bell,” said Templin. “Anyone that was looking up would have seen it. You don’t usually see military or even civilian aircraft’s jets that leave contrails making those kind of severe departures off of the given route.”
Templin says the aircraft made several; severe 180 degree turns in the sky in the shape of an “S”, even more unusual.
“Absolutely silent, no sound,” he said.
So he snapped a few photos and took it home.
“When I put it on my computer and processed them, I was surprised to see this triangular shape that is not like anything you typically see,” he said. . . .

MY UFO EXPERIENCE | Couple Witnesses Two UFOs in Wichita, Kansas
My wife and I took our dog for a walk some time after 9pm. We had barely even begun our walk around Harvest Park when I noticed the lights in the sky. Two craft, closer than I've ever seen two craft together. They weren't air show close, but they were closer than I could imagine would be safe for civilian craft, with one slightly elevated above the other. They were identical, and had both solid and blinking lights, the color of which I would describe as a deep, saturated yellow. They were low, less than 20 degress above the horizon, traveling at a steady rate of speed without changing direction. The air speed wasn't out of range of terrestrial craft, but they were moving at a pretty good clip.
I stopped and watched the craft track from east to south as my wife walked on. I listened intently, but heard nothing but the wind. And the wind was coming from the direction of the craft. No jet engine roar. No propeller noise. No helicopter sound. They were so low, they actually disappeared behind trees on the horizon. I ran to catch up with my wife.
No sooner did I reach her and the dog than we spotted another pair of identical craft to the north, heading west. These were a bit farther off and slightly higher up, but they were just as close to each other.
It gets stranger. I wanted to rule out helicopters before making a final judgement, so I made a series of phone calls. First, I called Wesley Medical Center, Wichita Life Watch and Eagle Med to determine they didn't have any helicopters paired up and working over Wichita at the time. I called the local FAA who said they didn't know of anything. They pointed me to the Mid-Continent control tower.

I am now 61 years old. I am a retired physician and Army Reserve Colonel; I have always been a skeptic about such things as UFO's. But when I was roughly 13-15 years old and playing football in the common backyards of several of my friends, one of my friends got our attention and directed our gaze to the blue sky. At the time, I lived in Wichita, Kansas, and I think it was summer.[Unedited]

A silvery object raced back and forth across the sky, leaving no vapor trail. It was too far away to recognize it as any shape. It seemed to fly perhaps twenty times faster than a jet, if not more. It raced east to west across the sky, repeating this several times. After maybe half-a-dozen passes, it flew off and quickly disappeared from view. The whole event lasted maybe ten seconds.
For decades, I've wondered what we saw. It was no balloon, but rather seemed purposefully flown, repeating its path back and forth. I can't even imagine what it was. No jet flies that fast, even today. I don't tell many people I watch UFO programs, but I do now and then.
