Unspecified over Hove, East Sussex · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Two bright objects. Disk shaped with red light that goes orange and then back. On one of them the light went on and off and then they both went out. It looked like there was only one light on the ship.
Held as-reported from UK Ministry of Defence UAP files. Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
