UFO sightings in the United Kingdom

This is a list of notable alleged sightings of unidentified flying objects or UFOs in the United Kingdom. Many more sightings became known since 2008, when the National Archives have gradually released MoD UFO sighting reports. In recent years there have been many sightings of groups of slowly-moving lights in the sky in the night sky, which can be easily explained by Chinese lanterns.
