Sphere over Whittlesey, CAMBRIDG · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My sister was taking a walk when she took a picture of the horizon sun noticing an orb of light . She watched it for a few minutes and it moved in several directions and then she took photos . It seemed to move in the sky and around then closer and then disappeared . She’s not tech minded so wouldn’t know where to begin if she wanted to doc the pictures so they are true images . I have the images on my phone but the pixels on her phone are much clearer and you can see more into the light but can’t make out . .
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #167813). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
