Circle over Oxford (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
8 lights going spinning in big circles. Very hard to get a footage as its mostly only vidible to the eyes not video camera. Got few photos. Very interesting. It kept on rotating in the same way for hours.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133890). 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.
