Subject: Sighting Reports Via UFO Scotland Website And My
Greetings listmembers,
Here are a few sighting reports received recently via the UFO
Scotland website. I thought that I would forward them on to the
various lists FYI.
Oh yes, one more thing! For the record:
The term UFO, at least to the team at UFO Scotland, means an
unidentified object of some kind and NOT an alien spaceship.
That is quite a jump with many unfounded assumptions, if we are
to assume that every unidentified craft or object spotted in our
skies, is to be an extra-terrestrial craft from another world.
If that was the case, I fear that the Human race would be
outnumbered by all these frequent visitors and our skies would
be full of these things everywhere. However, this is obviously
not the case. Lets get real and honest folks!
Here's hoping that we can all start to work together sharing our
findings and being civil to eachother, whilst we all go about
our various quests to uncover the truth behind this bizarre
phenomena. Teamwork, consideration and respect for other
researchers and their work, will achieve results through time.
If we can all be seen by the media and various authorities in
general, to be civil and supportive to eachother, perhaps
UFOLOGY will be taken a little more seriously and make a little
headway instead of the Status Quo that has been observed for the
last 50 years regarding UFO research, the way it is portrayed to
the public, the real truth and the media's involvement.
It really concerns me when I read reports from other researchers
who have been studying the ufo phenomena for the past 30,40 or
even 50 years. When I see their results and data gained during
this research time, I can see not much more than I have found
after just under three years of serious research into this
phenomena.
Are we going to be sitting here in 10, 20 or thirty years from
now with exactly the same feelings and questions? I sure hope
not! Not one group or researcher can do this or find all of the
hidden answers on their own. We all need eachother and have to
work together as a large and organised unit, if we want to avoid
asking these same questions again in a few decades time.
Treat others how you would like to be treated yourself, and stop
waiting for the almighty Govts of the world to tell all, cause
it won't happen anytime soon. We have to find the answers
ourselves, as a large and united worldwide research unit and not
expect the info to be given to us on a golden platter as we all
so readily do.
Construction and not Destruction folks!
Well thats my rant I guess :0) Any and all feedback is welcome
of course.
Thanks for your time,
>From your friend in Bonnie Scotland,
Dave Ledger (UFO Scotland)

My_Sighting_Submission : UFO SIGHTING
I just thought i'd hang the washing out, when I suddenly felt
something was watching me, so I turned and in the distance there
was an object about 500ft up it was not an aeroplane I know that
because it was soundless it was kind of triangler shape and had
white lights beaming from the bottom I felt quite scared i ran
in to tell my dad but it was gone as if it had never been there
it was far to fast for a plane there was nothing to be seen in
the distance.

My_Sighting_Submission :
It was around 7:30/8:00, and I was swimming in my aunts pool and
I got out becuase the water was getting cold and I decided to
sit on the deck of the pool to dry off. I was just sitting there
for about five miniuts and I saw this red flash of light about
two hundred feet away. I did not here any sound of what a plane
would make and just like a bat out of hell, a red orbed shaped
object appeared out of no where. It was about three hundred feet
off the ground and it just hovered and bobbed around,and just as
fast as it apered it disappeared. As astonished as I was I was
about to run in the house when I saw a jet go past and past the
jet was a bright flash and I saw someting shoot off like a
bullet. So I suppose I saw two unidentified flying objects.

My_Sighting_Submission :
Let me start of by saying that I am quite the UFO enthusiast and
have been facsinated with anything UFO related since I was a
little kid. I got a call at about 12:05am from my friend
jessica, who was over at her boyfriend David's house with
several of my other friends. They told me that her, and everyone
at the house at the time had been out watching UFOs for a few
minutes now. I was ecstatic and went to go wake my parents. I
got my dad up and outside to come search the sky. We spotted in
the south-eastern sky a stobing light. It seemed to be high
altitude, although admitadly i'm not too good at judging
altitude. I've seen planes strobe lights and this was different.
This very bright, and not moving. It started to strobe at a
faster and faster pace until it would flash once very brightly
(Enough to light up a good bit of the sky), dissapear, and then
to my amazement re-appear in another part of the sky with
another big flash, After the big flash it beg! an slowing its
bright white blinking to the rate it was at before. At this
point I decided I had to go get my mom, as my dad didnt want me
to wake her up the first time. When her and I got back
downstairs I walked out of my garage just in time to see it
dissapear with another white flash and reapear with another
white flash. At one point the first one flashed bright once,
another one showed up, and flew near the first at a high rate of
speed, pulling off a sharp turn torwards it. The second one was
reddish, but still flashed white sometimes. It was the most
incredible thing I have ever seen. After a good half hour of
putting on what seemed to be some kind of show they started
moving south in dissapearing, re-apearing zig zag patterns,
until they got too far to see. I wish i had some kind of video
camera, as I would love to watch it over and over again. It was
amazing, and yet kind of creepy at the same time. I have several
witnesses, and my friend John says he saw police off! icers and
civilian spectators looking up into the sky in a convienence
store parking lots on his way home. I have not yet called the
Madison Police Department to confirm this. I did however call
the air traffic control tower at huntsville international
airport and asked them if they had any sightings or blips and
they just told me that air traffic control doesnt track anything
that they arent expecting. I kindly asked him to ask someone who
was there the night it happened, but the guy there didnt see
anything. I guess they dont look at the radar screen unless a
planes coming in. Have you guys gotten any sightings like this?
Can you refer me to some video clips that contain a similar
sighting? Do you get many sightings like this? Mail me anytime,
and I dont care about anonymity. If you wish to speak to any of
the other witnesses via phone E-mail me. I watched the news the
next day and apparantly the media didnt get wind of it, so I
really want this one to get out. Thank you for! your time.

on or about 090152 i sighted a ufo in greensboro,n.c. i observed a huge
saucer shaped object hovering between two houses. i was 15 years old at
the time and was riding my bike and only caught a glimpse of this object
because my momentum carried me to a point where on of the houses blocked
my vision.i immediately slammed on the brakes to the bike and returned
to the location of my sighting only to view a rapidly dissapearing speck
in the sky. in my best judgement, this all happened in about 10 seconds.
there were no sounds. because i did not want people to think i was
crazy, i told noone about this incident at that time. richard m.
