Circle over Hathersage, DERBYSHI · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I looked up to notice three round objects that were very different from the light a star or planet omits . They were jumping all over the sky. They were round spinning objects. Spinning really fast and were showing lots of different colours as they spun . Two disappeared suddenly leaving just one . I watched in amazement for a couple of minutes then ran inside to get my phone . I videoed it for a minute or two . My phone camera is not great and I had a hard time following the object but I did get it . Rewatching the video I found I could zoom in to see it as I did with my naked eye. Once I found the object on the video (my phone made it look really small but once I zoomed in on the tiny ball I could see it very well. The sky was clear and the objects were south easterly, they went above me , I’d say in medium sky . Certainly not on the horizon and not directly above me . I filmed it for a few mins then had to go back in the house . It was very cold and clear night . I also saw a ufo in Italy which I will report here now I know where to report these things

What would the paper say?
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.
