Light over Castleford (UK/England) · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Orange flickering light flying over Airedale Castleford toward city center. No sound or flashing lights which would identify as aircraft. Object flew at quite low altitude and high speed. We switched off car engine to see what it was and looked with windows down. Object flew silently over us!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149962). 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.
