Triangle over Bridgend (UK/Wales), YT · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was around 06:50 and as I carry out my morning routine, I went out the back garden to have a cigarette when the object caught my eye. At first I thought it was an airplane slowly spinning out of control, but as I kept watching it, I could vaguely see a centre light with what looked like 3 other lights spiralling around it. It reminded me of a fidget spinner sort of thing. It was gliding through the sky then took a curved right turn before disappearing. It lasted for about 5 minutes, I tried to capture photo evidence with my phone but with it being dark with some light pollution I was unable to get a shot of it.

Ask for the records
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.
