Other over Newport (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On this particular date, after taking a shower, I found myself looking out my bedroom window to see a object in the air. The best way I can describe this object is that it was shaped like a pill. This object was silver, chrome in color, but it had a red gleam or a red light on it. It just moved across the sky like a plane, but its appearance was a different than a plane obviously, there where no wings on the on the object. I'm a 13 year old that has an interest astronomy and been seeing lots of cylinder, cigar and 'pill' shaped objects. Witness provides no contact information. PD

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.
