Circle over Ryton on Dunsmore, WARWICKS · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Before a violent thunderstorm. My son 48 years old, and a staunch sceptic, saw his first ufos. (I am 78 and a supporter). A big dark thundercloud was approaching. This made him look. He saw a craft which was spinning, tilting and seemed to have a hole in the middle. He went upstairs to find binoculars. When he returned it had gone. He went upstairs again and then saw 6 or 7 white dots much further away dancing around. He said none were birds or aeroplanes . Did anyone else see them?
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176225). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
