Circle over Amble, NORTHUMB · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Place of observation was near Amble in Northumberland and lasted for approx 15 minutes. I saw a dark solid object on the horizon. Due to the distance it appeared spherical. The object changed altitude constantly, sometimes at sea level sometimes above. This was north east from the beach between Amble and High Hauxley. It was very dark in colour and had no distinguishing features. It slowly moved south until eventually out of site. I took 4 videos ( over 1 min in total) and 15 photographs on my camera phone. 2 videos and 2 images are attached to this report. I am happy to be contacted by email.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177910). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
