Rectangle over Thame Oxfordshire, OXFORDSH · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I woke up at 4am on my sofa, so I made my way to bed, as I laid down I felt that something was outside my bedroom window and I new where it was before I went to the window, I got up and went to the window and I new where to look and there was an oblong dark craft with orange yellow light around the lower to middle of its edge. It was moving upwards at a 45% moving very slowly. What I find interesting is that I turned away and laid back on the bed, I said to myself take a video or picture, but I then convinced myself that I didn't need to take a video. I do have a quality camera and binoculars. I have found an image of a ufo that looks identical to what I saw.

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.
