As reported

Sphere over Ringwood, England, DORSET · United Kingdom

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I saw 2 green orbs flying in formation. They remained in formation as if they were one craft but I could see it was defiantly 2 craft. I regularly watch the ISS go over my house and am very familiar with its 17,000 mph traverse through the sky. They tracked exactly like the ISS. Very very fast and with purpose. I observed around the edge of both craft a white wave-like swirling that was only around the outermost edge of the craft. These waves were inside the orbs not like a haze on the outside of the sphere. I thought they were in orbit at first but they came down from the west and as they went over my house headed south towards Bournemouth. No sonic booms. For years I tried to pass it off as rocket boosters or the like but I would guess from the recent research they were real. Having been seen since the '50s by various other people.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #168517). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
