Bright UFO seen over Topeka Kansas 1966

Summary

A military observer reported a bright object resembling Venus in the sky over Topeka, Kansas, in March 1966. The witness described it as a light reflecting off highly polished metal, moving with purpose and stopping at times. Photos were taken using fast film, but the resulting image was blurry and unclear. The lack of background detail and processing marks suggested it might be a lab artifact. While a satellite was considered, no definitive conclusion was reached.
