Light over Glamis, Scotland, ANGUS · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving home and observed an elliptical light going around in a thick cloud (the rest of the sky was clear) repeatedly in the same spot. I watched for about 10-15 minutes and it kept doing the same thing. There was no sound to suggest it may have been a helicopter. In fact it was silent. Nobody else was around other than cars passing by. I caught a video on my phone of the light but you have to turn up the brightness on the phone and turn it landscape to see the light. The original video that I took was on my old mobile phone and the one uploaded is a copy I sent to my new phone. I have both copies available though.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172879). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
