Cosford and Shawbury UFO reports

Record summary

What happened Police, military personnel and civilians reported bright lights or a triangular object moving across Britain. An RAF Shawbury meteorological officer described a low humming object projecting a beam toward the ground. The Ministry of Defence investigated amid a major fireball event and re-entry reports. Evidence Numerous timed reports, military witnesses and MOD files document the wave. Explanations considered The re-entry of a Russian rocket stage, meteors, aircraft and stars explain many observations; the low-level Shawbury report is less easily matched. What remains uncertain Accounts spread across hours and hundreds of kilometres cannot automatically be assigned to one object. Primary source Cosford and Shawbury UFO reports — Wikipedia
