Light over Merthyr Tydfil · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
on the night of 7/13/22 to 7/14/22 at 2 o'clock when I was going to sleep I noticed through the window on the stairs that something was glittering in the sky, it did not look like a star because the stars shone all the way around, the sky was clear. I thought that I would take a picture with the phone and see if the phone catches something. I took 2 photos, one and a second later. On one of them you can even see the captured top in the afterglow and the neighbor's window to compare the quality of the photos with. Only today, when I sat down to the computer and checked the photos, it looks very strange after approximation and I have no idea what it is. The photos have not been processed and are sent straight from my phone

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.
