Chevron over Llangollen (UK/Wales) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Putting chickens into sheds for evening, when myself and my colleague heard a loud humming noise above us. We looked up and saw a huge chevron shaped thing just moving real slowly towards the hills in a northerly direction. It was solid and black with four dim lights on each side which we yellow or white. It was huge and at least five times the size of a 747 jet. We estimated it was about 1500 feet up in altitude. We watched it disappear over the top of the hill out of site.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #117576). 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.
