Light over Hull, EAST RID · United Kingdom
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My friend and I was walking into the town centre, I felt the urge to look up, as there was an electrical storm with no thunder, I saw the white light stationary, held my head still to confirm it wasn't a plane, after several minutes of it being amongst the lightning, it then turned red... A minute after the craft started flashing red... Then zoomed off into the night sky like ion drive had kicked in

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