As reported

Changing over Branksome, POOLE · United Kingdom

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Was in my garden smoking and saw a light that seemed to sparkle and omit light variances whilst moving slowly across the sky, different to a plane and moving in a non-linear route, speed and direction of travel altered a few times as it moved, couple times sped up or seemed jump from one place to another and then went backwards direction, so I took video with my phone so I could zoom in afterwards on the image. Can see the shape, colours, radiance from the video attached. Note direction of the item seen was SE/ESE from my location. Didn’t report till now as didn’t know how to, had googled ways to report/question potential sightings but of course search results returned are just a flood of nonsense websites, just heard of this organisation so decided to report. I had a second similar sighting 7 months later, 01Aug2015 at 10:39pm BST from same location and object seen in same direction. Second sighting also videoed and attached, (video is 44 seconds) but the object was quite different to the prior Dec sighting in shape, colours, movement was faster and pretty erratic, appears to split into 2 parts a few times, all shown in the video when zoomed in. Neither time were there any sounds. Also attached screenshot of the info from 1 video (they’re the same) showing info of iPhone camera quality used if that helps (1080p)

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178211). 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.
