Location: Paola, KS, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright yellow object with unknown(possible changeing) shape.

While heading east on my way to work early in the morning I spotted what i thought was a bright yellow star, but it seemed to be close and began to move slowly from south of my car to directly in front (east) of me. Before entring on-ramp I stopped and watched it for about 1 minute. I could not make out the shape as it seemed almost to change from time to time, but it did move around a given area in the air.

After a few seconds it shot off in a northeastern direction and took about 5 seconds to vanished from sight. Also their seemed to be smaller lights visible from time to time on the object that changed. They also never blinked.
