Triangle over Leigh on Sea (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Went into yard to spot Leonids. Was too bright moon to see stars well, but I noticed three bright stationary lights in a triangle. Looked like star formation but too bright and regular. After a few seconds the lights dimmed and disappeared. I continued to look where the lights were, but there was no sound and I couldn't see anything moving. We suspect that this is a serious-minded report, but the witness does not indicate a time or date of the sighting. We have assigned an arbitrary time and date, until we hear back from the source of the report. We have written him, a public servant in the UK, on two occasions, but have not heard back from him yet.

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.
