Light over Bristol (UK/England), CITY OF · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I live in Stockwood, South Bristol. I happened to look out of my bedroom window and I live on a hill so I have a clear view above any houses or trees. A very bright white light was quite low and moving across a clear sky some distance away. The sky was reasonably light. I couldn’t see any shapes or edges. It was like a large star. There was only 1light and no other colours in the light. It appeared to be going in a straight line. It slowly travelled across the sky for a few seconds, then appeared to flash and totally disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #167003). 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.
