The object was moving from west to east over the west area of Wichita while other air traffic was seen. "I saw other airplanes in the area and also saw and heard jet aircraft very high in altitude. All the planes I saw in the area had flashing red and blue lights with strobe-like characteristics." The witness described odd lighting on the object. "This object had a very slow, pulsating red and orange light in the center and looked very abnormal and different than any other aircraft I've seen before."
