Circle over Hinckley (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Whist sitting looking at the stars my parter noticed something glowing in the corner of his eye. He told me to look and as I turned around I saw a very bright white circle glowing and moving quickly across the sky. We continued to watch the object for about 5 minutes until it began to desend, and finally disappear behind a house.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #120713). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
