Fireball over Bognor Regis, WEST SUS · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sighting was brief as driver of vehicle got unnerved when UFO came close. I spent 5 years as enlisted airman in Royal Air Force as an aircraft engineer and I have never encountered anything like this before. In my opinion this was not a manmade vehicle.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175160). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
