As reported

Circle over Boston (UK/England) · United Kingdom

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

The report, as filed

It was a hot day and the sun was out, I looked up into the sky facing north and saw the object reflecting off of the sun almost as if it was metallic. It moved from north to west in a matter of minutes and looked as if it was potentially just below cloud height. I had never seen an object like it in the 8 years prior to the sighting and I haven’t in the near 2 years after.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #152984). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
