Cigar over Wakefield, ENGLAND · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was around 10pm me and my partner let the dog out that night we was talking when out of nowhere. Big white ship like craft just came across above our home! It was huge! And so close! Or so if seemed It came across slowly and silent with a slight glow to if, but not reflective it was memorising to say the least. Then in the blink of an eye shot off and disappears into the sky marking zero noise. The next day I find a post on Facebook of a crop circle in the farmers field about 5 mins away from my home which I have proof of! It’s taken me some time to find whom to message so I do apologise for the late report !

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.
