Disk over Harlech, GWYNEDD · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Lights passed directly above house out over the Irish sea travelling West. Groups of 4 or more every few minutes, observed for an hour although continuing when we retired to bed. Lights resembled the brightness of the space station which we do see here travelling West to East during summer months. Some were much higher than others so appeared fainter. All travelling same direction. These were not starlink as they were not linked in any way. Any aircraft in sky would have clearly been able to see these in the sky at that time. These were not meteors as there were no contrails and no colours. Some were so bright they shone through the clouds. Stars in the night sky could also be observed at the same time. These were not stars.they were moving at speeds similar to space station disappearing over Horizon after a few minutes becoming fainter as they travelled further. Overhead and in near distance they were incredibly bright. I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR MY NAME TO BE USED IN ANY FORM OR DISTRIBUTED TO ANY OTHER PARTIES

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.
