Light over Coatbridge (UK/Scotland) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
After a few minutes it disappeared. Then to my horror, I saw 3 larger objects, which I believed to be meteors, but again, they were not moving. The moon was low in the western sky and clouds began to obscure the 3 objects. I became quite afraid as I thought about the meteorite that landed in Russia last year. They resembled the photos I had seen from Russian TV. I am a degree educated former teacher of maths and science, and am quite sceptical about these type of experiences. However, they did not resemble anything I have ever seen in the night sky before. They disappeared after around ten minutes. I immediately phoned my friends and family to share this experience, as I am confident what I witnessed were UFOs. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.
