Case description

The Greenside report concerns 7 August 2004 in the Newcastle upon Tyne area. The annual MoD summary says only that alien sightings were reported above a house. Later released correspondence clarifies that a man contacted Northumbria Police about sightings above his address. Whickham Police Station passed the report to the Ministry of Defence in a letter dated 10 August. A 15 March 2005 response to an information request explains the surviving record’s limits: apart from the man’s name and address, no further event details had been provided. Those personal details were withheld. The correspondence therefore adds an identifiable reporting chain, but does not supply the beings’ appearance, a vehicle shape, time, duration, direction or number of objects. Police involvement here means transmission of a report, not an independent police sighting. The source does not establish a landing or an encounter with a described alien body. The plate consequently treats the house, male observer and unresolved aerial forms as contextual rather than recovered visual evidence. Its representative number of forms, viewpoint and lighting are artistic choices. The entry remains a documented claim whose underlying appearance and explanation are not available in the released wording.
