Unknown over Washington, United Kingdom, UNITED K · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Appeared to look like a ball of white constant light, I'd guess around 15,000 feet, it stayed at a steady pace gliding across the sky, I wouldn't have said this was a meteorite. There was no sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170305). 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.
