Circle over Chelmsford, ESSEX · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife saw a white large light moving across sky at a constant speed I’m back garden. It went over house where she called me and we ran out the front as it passed over house. It made a low decibel noise loud enough to just hear like a flame travelling through sky. Have attached the film and also zoomed in images. Didn’t leave a trail. Disappeared into distance.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166194). 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.
