Unspecified over High Wycombe (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
9-8-2018 (sic. 07/08/2018)) Seen at 0425 local time, travelling approx.. W to E at about an inclination of 75 degress relative to S in High Wycombe after a loud bang was heard (which is why I went outside). Appearance was of a very bright light which did not extinguish when it went slowly overhead like aircraft lights do. When in the Eastern sky two much smaller lights (like missiles) were seem coming rapidly from the machine in quick succession. And in almost opposite directions. Their tracks of light were quite short. The colour was slightly off white for machine and “missiles”. No sound head. I suspect the RAF using a new plane and practising but on the Heathrow flight paths???!!! ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Most definitely a serious report Peter and the date was July 8th 2019. (sic. 2018) If it was man made then it was behaving dangerously as on the Heathrow airport flight approach path!!!! Missiles??? Beams??? God knows! With regards,
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #142174). 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.
