Light over Preston (UK/England), YT · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 0610 on November 29 in Lancashire England I saw 3-4 moving bright wwhite lights before wiping my eyes to focus on what I had seen and then it became apparent that there was more than that too, so I called my partner down to witness this occurrence because no one would have believed me. I tried to video it but could not get a picture just audio. A line of lights at altitude, in formation crossed the sky to the east both my partner and I were amazed surprised and I personally was in shock. What made it strange was that one light joined the convoy from a southern direction and there was a light that was not in formation but travelled faster than the convoy just offset to the south also but took the same trajectory.

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.
