Oval over South Shields · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Myself and partner where outside watching a meteor shower/shooting stars for around 20 minutes and we couldn't believe how amazing it was. Then we we seen a glowing object hoover then move slowly over us..it moved from right to left then headed over temple park out of our field of view ,we couldn't believe what we had seen.The object moved silently and slowly,once you know it was there you couldn't miss it if that makes sense we both laughed and couldn't believe it. It wasn't a shooting star it moved under it's will and stood out from everything once you locked onto it.

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.
