A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Myself and my husband went outside the back of our house to have a cigarette, I looked up to the sky to see the stars I noticed a bright light and thought it was an plane as we see them often, it didn't move like a plane it was stationary with red, blue, white, orange lights going from left to right along the length of it. my husband went to get his binoculars to get a better look at the strange lights all the while it didn't move, we both looked and were amazed to see a very large jellyfish shaped object with illuminous lights of different colours, my husband thought he saw smaller objects going in to the largest object, but couldn't be sure, we watched it for a good hour then went to bed

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.
