Egg over Stoke on Trent (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
taking photograph of 32 crows chasing a buzzard (birds), egg or ball shaped object seem to appear out of nowhere, i watch it for about 5 minutes before it went, overcast day but dry , cool, just looks like a round shaped object on the photo but does seem to have 3 inner lights when photo reversed into a negative.. a copy of the original photo is available.. We would very much like to correspond with the source of the report, and very much like to look at the photo alluded to above, but the witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides no contact information! Hence, we are not able to contact the party. Also, the date of the sighting arrived at our Center flawed, so we have no idea when the alleged sighting occurred. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143229). 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.
