This is one of the thinner entries in this register, but it is included on the strength of its witnesses: two on-duty police officers, a category of witness generally treated as more reliable than the average passerby given their training in observation and their lack of any obvious motive to fabricate an unusual report. While working overnight in Rickmansworth in 2010, the pair reported seeing a strange green light flash across the sky, describing it as incredibly bright and moving quickly, appearing suddenly in a blaze of light before disappearing over the horizon.
No further detail survives regarding the exact date, the officers' names, or whether the sighting was ever formally logged or investigated by any UFO research organisation. Green lights in the night sky have a range of mundane potential explanations, from meteors and space debris re-entry to unusual reflections or aircraft lighting, none of which can be ruled in or out on the strength of the secondhand account collected for this entry. It is recorded here honestly as a single, brief but credible-sounding sighting rather than a well-investigated case.
