Sphere over Market Rasen, LINCOLNS · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
single orb like object humming and hovering above myself and a friend whilst we were camping in the woods in hammocks. Orb hummed as it came close to us and briefly stopped above us, then seemed to quickly dart off as we became aware of its presence. Could also hear voices in the woods that night, not sure if it was other people or related to incident. Not sure on the time or how long the incident lasted. Felt like a short amount of time but then I recall when checking the time more time had passed than I thought had.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177169). 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.
