Oval over Aylesbury (Buckinghamshire)(UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
White moving light in the sky. Was moving very slowly and was out flown by other aircraft. We saw it move through cloud cover and appear on the other side. It looked like it had a small tail - no trail though. All other aircraft in the sky were producing contrails. After exiting cloud cover we watched the object stop moving. It hung there for a moment before blinking / vanishing instantly. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130655). 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.
