Hello Errol and listmembers,
Here are a few recent reports from Scotland for any researchers
or readers with an interest in Scottish Ufology or simply for
those who like to collect sighting reports.
Take care all and keep looking to the skies.
All the best the noo!
Dave Ledger (UFO Scotland)
P.S: does anyone know if there was any VCR footage or film taken
during the Belgium Triangle sighting of March 30-31st 1990?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Name : KAREN1
date: : SUN 13TH SEPT
location: : CLYDEBANK
time : 1:00 am
Sighting : Around 1 AM on Sunday morning my boyfriend mentioned
that the plane flying by our window looked strange.When I
looked,there was a flash of white and we both got up to take a
closer look thinking that perhaps it was a plane having engine
trouble.The object flashed again lighting up the sky around it
and continued to move slowly North.It then stopped and began to
move back to the South and then hovered above some nearby trees
for approximately 20 minutes.It then moved out of sight below
the trees and then back up again vertically until it appeared
like a bright star in the sky.The object was around aeroplane
size and had red,blue and white lights.The movements of the
object were like no plane or helicopter we have ever seen
before.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Date: :5th October 1998
Location: : Star of Markinch, Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland
Time : 20:30 pm
Name : Witness Name Witheld.
Sighting : As I was coming out of a house near the local school
I saw something unusual in the clouds. I'm not entirely sure it
was a UFO but it looked like some craft was hovering silently
inside the cloud with rotating headlamps (4 sides)or it could
have been a larger craft if it were a UFO. This lasted for about
15 seconds then it disappeared.The next night I saw it again
around the same time but only for 5 seconds and in the same
position which was probably somewhere over fields, the A92
between Glenrothes and Dundee. There were UFO sightings in the
area in September 1996 which were reported to the Fife Free
Press. Around this time I once woke up at 3am on Sunday morning
and could hear a low-level humming sound moving about overhead
the village. It was misty too but it lasted for about 20 mins
and could not have possibly been an aircraft because the sound
was coming and going.
(Further Info based on E-mail interview)
1. Weather: It was cloudy, mostly overcast and not too cold. 2.
Visual: No sound or unusual colours, just looked like lights. 3.
Size: Either the size of a normal plane if it were shining
spotlights or it could have been the size of the town of
Markinch if I were seeing the lights of a larger craft. 4.
Location: The anomaly was not over Star, probably half way
between Star and Markinch near the A92 and about 3000ft up.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Date: : Sunday 18th October 1998 Location: : Tayport, Fife, Scotland
Time : approx 2.30 AM.
Name : Witness Name Witheld.
Sighting : A very bright light in sky. It was static and there
was no noise. It was definately not a star or a planet. We live
near RAF Leuchars and are used to seeing various aircraft and it
was not an aircraft. The night sky was very clear. I got my
parents out of bed to come and look and they also witnessed
it.When it was daylight I went out to have a look and see if
there was anything such as a very large security light or a mast
that could have caused what I saw, but there was nothing.
(Further info following e-mail interview)
Direction of light was South West 250 -300 ft above the horizon.
. Approx Location of object was between Tayport and Newport (but
not as the main road goes!) Object was low in the sky compared
to stars. Light - very bright white light, did not pulse,and it
gave off no beam. Size of object - comparison to large passenger
aircraft on vertical position.All of the object was completely
lit. No noticable noise from object or any other noise in area.I
have checked locale for any clues as to object, ie security
lights or something to support object such as post or mast, but
nothing there.Further discussion has identified a further
witness who saw the object approx midnight. Also, other witness
living in same area as me saw an identical object from kitchen
window approx a year ago.
Additional Report:Witness Name Witheld. You may be interested
that there was a UFO sighted in my home town of Tayport, Fife,
Scotland last Sunday (18th?). This was seen as a very bright,
static and noiseless light and was witnessed by a friend, his
parents and a lady who works in the local golf
club.Additionally, as my parents were driving home from
Edinburgh last night, as they reached St Michaels, which is near
Tayport and also a few miles from St Andrews, they witnessed a
very large flash in the sky going in the direction of the North
Sea. This was around 10pm, the sky was very clear and they are
100% certain that it was not any type of aircraft, a meteor, a
firework, or lightning.
