Unspecified over Doncaster, Yorkshire · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw a very large bright orange ball of fire travelling over woodland. There was no sound. In size would have been 20 to 30 times bigger than a jumbo jet.
Held as-reported from UK Ministry of Defence UAP files. Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
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.
