Circle over Tockenham, SWINDON · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
One silver ball traveling very fast high up 100 mph like a star then another silver ball moving very slowly just above the trees almost as if it was a drone searching for something or it was looking at us pointing at it But this clearly was not a drone there was no sound or wings or motor just like a almost glowing silver ball the size of a tennis ball. It was moving around like a drone would so I can 100% say this was not a bird or piece of fluff or plastic.

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.
