Triangle over Morpeth, NORTHUMB · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Returning home to Rothbury from Morpeth last night me and my wife and kids seen an object at the Lee 3 miles from our home in Rothbury Northumberland. I got out of the car with my modest mobile phone and took the footage I will enclose. I left after about 1 minute and the craft was heading east. It was about the size of a medium aircraft and about 500 metre from us and totally silent.

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.
