Light over Peterchurch · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Gazing overhead into the night sky, good clear evening, firstly sighted a fast moving dull white object, too fast for aircraft, traveling in one direction E to W. Then shortly afterwards noticed at first what looked like a star overhead, but it had movement, almost zigzag like, moved one way then another with a short pause between each move, gave impression of something searching around it, too erratic for an aircraft, movements too instantaneous from one direction to next and not fluid like.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170203). 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.
