Unknown over Gravesend, KENT · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving up Arthur street in Gravesend to pick my misses up and in front of me was this bright fast light in the sky going across the sky and it went so fast in the sky from left to right and I’m shocked that it made a u-turn that quick to come back on itself then it stopped and went up or strait out the sky in seconds. I've seen loads now and every time I talk about it im woke at 2-30 every morning so hot and it feels like day time. Light bulbs blow but tv goes on.

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.
