Triangle over Teston (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On the 13th August, 2016, I was driving in a westerly direction through the small village of Teston in the South East of England at around 21:00hrs (GMT). Flying Eastwards towards me, I saw a very bright light, too bright to be a plane and none of the lights were flashing like on a plane. As the object got nearer I saw that it could not be a plane. The object was triangular and there were panels of white light underneath as well as a blue elongated light at the front centre underneath. I was in too much shock to take a picture but have made a mock up picture of what I saw. What has bothered me most is that I’ve spent much time on the internet trying to find a report of something similar and there has been nothing else seen to match my description.

The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
