Light over Birmingham, ENGLAND · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was bright lights at least 5/6 on each of the 4 UFOs. But when they dashed away it left a dirty yellow trail almost like a aeroplane but 1 trail for each of them and dirty yellow.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173621). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
