Unspecified over Telford, Shropshire · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Two orange lights moving slowly south. No sound, not jet afterburners, not helicopters as they did not flash. Wrong colour for distress rockets.
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.
