Oval over Rugby · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Please see videos. I noticed from the south a bright metallic light very high up, initially I thought it was a plane, but it was moving very slowly and then in different movements, nothing a plane or helicopter could do. It was a small dot but clear to see as the sky was clear. It was a oval/tictac shape. I watched it for 5 minutes. I started to record it. It went slowly north and then to my east. I noticed sometimes it disappeared but then it came back. It was very high allitude. I checked the flight radar and no planes matched its movements or locations. I checked the ISS website and again negative.

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.
