A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I just finished a 13 hour shift and was walking on my way home at just gone 2 in the morning, and it was quiet and dark still I could hear some sort of humming sound that was just a discomforting sound weird like some trumpet sound, whining in the sky. I looked up naturally and there was a rectangular/cube shaped craft that had to be at least 30 foot long I was just in awe of it I was entranced I couldn't take my eyes off it. I was scared but curious to what it was there were no lights from it but I could see it was a dark black or dark grey it was also hit I ciuld feel the heat from it above me. It then just hovered and disappeared into the sky above me. I would be surprised if no one else locally saw this huge ufo craft.

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.
