Triangle over Derby (UK/England), DERBYSHI · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
When out on a morning dog walk I noticed what looked like a star still in the sky very bright and twinkling. I thought it might be a satellite or a planet so decided to take a photo with my phone camera. 2 days later I saw the same thing and took another photo. I showed a work colleague saying I think I saw a planet and showed her both photos. My phone iPhone 11 does Live Photos. On the first photo I took when looking at it I realised that there was another star like object above the first “star” (planet) when I zoomed in it’s a triangle shape. The second photo and all other photos are live but this one taken on the 31st January 2022 isn’t live for some reason.

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.
