What would the paper say?
UK sighting reports were handled by the MoD's UFO desk until 2009; later records answer to the Freedom of Information Act 2000, earlier files sit at the National Archives. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

Could not see a defined shape but no noise, no rear, port or starboard lights. Two coned lights (yellow and white) flickering randomly. Finally disappeared into cloud.
