Cone over Sherburn (in Elmet) (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Leaving my garden facing east, looked up at the full moon over the opposite neighbor's house rooftop. Very quickly an object moved across the front of the full moon so it was lit by the moon light, it made no sound and was moving fast, it was a seed shape (cone) and that's it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115831). 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.
