Archive 12 73854 Maj. Browning - A-1 officer's branch NW of Topeka (Clay Center - Kansas) Flying @ 1004' @ 90° B-25 @ 200 mph Alt @ 120° a little higher When first seen approx 10 mi he thought it was a water tower; about a mile away it looked like a flying wing except it was flying vertically and almost completely round. No smoke, no fire, but so bright it almost hurt his eyes. Then he turned toward it and it disappeared almost immediately. He believes it must have been supersonic because of speed at which it disappeared. This co-pilot was dozing at the time and by the time he was woken the object had disappeared. Original reaction was to not recognize it, but it came up so fast, then appeared to stop, then disappeared. Landed at Kansas City 1400 hrs Central Time. This took place approx 1315
