Ministry of Defence UFO Sightings Report File D/SEC(AS) 64/2

This document is a collection of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting reports compiled by the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence (MOD) between September 1995 and January 1996. The file, registered as D/SEC(AS) 64/2, contains numerous individual reports submitted by members of the public, police forces, and air traffic control units across the UK. The reports describe a wide variety of aerial phenomena, including bright lights, spherical or disc-shaped objects, and triangular formations. Many witnesses reported objects that appeared to hover, move at high speeds, or perform erratic maneuvers. Several reports mention the objects being observed in the vicinity of airports or major landmarks, such as the M1 motorway or specific hospitals. The documentation includes standard MOD reporting forms, facsimile transmission sheets from various RAF stations and air traffic control centers, and internal file notes. The reports often include details such as the date, time, duration, description of the object, and the observer's location. Many reports note the presence of other witnesses, such as family members or neighbors. The file also contains correspondence between the MOD and various police constabularies, as well as internal administrative notes regarding the retention of these records in the Public Records Office. The reports reflect a period of significant public interest in UAP, with many informants expressing concern or curiosity about the nature of the objects they observed. Some reports were dismissed by authorities as likely being aircraft, meteors, or laser displays, while others remained categorized as unexplained.
