Unspecified over Pulborough, West Sussex · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Up to 20 orange and red glowing lights. They appeared to be in formation and under some form of control. They came from the Eastern horizon. They moved upwards, were then stationary, moved side to side and then disappeared upwards. Seen for 20 minutes.
Held as-reported from UK Ministry of Defence UAP files. Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
