The record

An official file preserves that a report was made and examined. It does not, by itself, establish what was seen.

The document is attached to this entry.

What is not settled

The same file offers the escape hatch: aircraft of a conventional type with rotating beacons, noting a total lack of evidence that the sighting could not have been caused by conventional aircraft. Operation Big Blast refuelling exercises were running that night.
