United Kingdom, 1990

Nobody investigated it. A civil servant filed it, and because it was filed it outlived everyone's memory of it.

What the record resolves
The record carries a face, a head, eyes, skin, hands or proportions.
Two figures drawn by the correspondent. A civilian's own sketch, preserved and never investigated.
The record
An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

What is not settled
This is an archive-only case and it is here to make that category legible. The document is genuine and its content is one person's unexamined account. A file number confers preservation, never corroboration, and the distinction between those two things is the whole reason this archive exists.
