Teardrop over Dorset (UK/England), YT · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I noticed a bright light shining in my room. Looked out my window to see something moving very quickly about 2 miles from my house with a light that shone for miles! Faster than an aircraft or car. The animals in the area were all calling. It darted around. Teardrop shape with a red pointy tail. I think there was possibly two as another light shone which enabled me to see the first craft. Then the lights disappeared. Source of report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. Possible hoax. Dorset is not in the Yukon Territory, which is in Canada. 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.
