Subject: Recent Sighting Submissions Outside Scotland
Dear Errol & listmembers,
FYI, here are a few UFO reports and sightings that have been
submitted to the UFO Scotland sightings submission page on our
website, over the past few weeks or so.
Please note that many of the sightings that we receive cannot
possibly be further researched by ourselves due to the location
being beyond Scotland's area amongst other things.
Therefore, if any investigators or researchers near the location
of any sightings which may be reported by ourselves in the
future i.e. outside Scotland, could possibly get in touch with
the witnesses or follow up on the report or provide any
assistance and support needed, then the submission would not
have been in vain. That is also providing you deem it worthy of
further investigation of course.
We do try to weed out any probable hoaxes etc before sending out
the reports to you all, but at the same time, we try to remain
open minded enough to provide the support needed by the many
experiencers also. As many of you who have experienced a real
anomalous UFO sighting will already know, it can be a life
changing experience and difficult to deal with mentally,
especially the closer encounters.
The reports are posted as received and are not edited in any
way.
My Sincere thanks for your time and assistance,
>From your friend,
Dave Ledger (UFO Scotland)

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 strobing 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 began 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
officers 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. Thanks you for
your time.

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 : I have believed in UFO's for some time, but
have never seen one.
Saturday, July 17th, 1999 I think I may have seen one. It was
about 10:00 at night, and was a clear night. I was throwing
something into the trashcan out at the curb, and when I turned
around and walked towards the house I looked up at the sky. That
is when I saw something that looked like an airplane, but the
lights were formatted backwards. Flying west to east, there were
three white lights, two in the front, leading it, and one in the
back. There was also a steady red light in the center, which was
not blinking, but glowing faintly. There was no sound like a
normal plane would make, but a low humming sound. There were
also no other planes in the area. I watched it until it passed;
I did not have any cameras, so I could not get a picture of it.
I always look up at night and look for things, but I did not
expect to really find anything around here. I think I saw the
common triangle UFO.

My_Sighting_Submission : my friend and I were at the town park
when we heard like a really lound windy noise but we thought it
was a truck goin accross the broken down tracks. so we went up
town and set on a bench near the bank when a couple of girls
showed up and said somthing was chasing them and they were
really freaked out so we got in the car with them just to make
sure they were goin to be ok. they took us near the end of town
when she sudenly slamed on the brakes and said there it is we
looked up and there was 3 lights blue white red. It looked as if
it was comin towards us so she took off and it was right up
above us then we didnt see so we went back to the bank. and we
noticed it again but it was high in the atmosphere now but it
look like there was a hole in the sky then we noticed 2 of them
so my friend and I was goin toward my house, about 2 blocks from
the bank, when we seen more of the light that looked like they
were comming toward us so we ran all the way to my! house I went
in and got my camra and broncolars. some how we couldnt get pics
of them it seemed it was to dark or somthing. but I could get a
good glimpse of them with my broncolars it looked like a disk
with one side lighted up. I kept seeing them all through the sky
then we heard that wind noise again and we looked in the trees
and we seen a triagle thing with a spotlight thing in the front
and red light on one side and blue light on the other it was to
low for planes and to quiet it went right through my trees and
vanished and then that was the last we seen of them. im not
makeing this up. the next day one of my other friends who we
didnt even say anything about the story started telling us about
it that he seen it too.

My_Sighting_Submission : For about a month I saw a bright white
light outside my window for my apartment looks out over the
water. And I studied and stared at it for it appeared everynight
at the exact same time. I would watch it to see what it was. I
thought maybe it was a planet or something till one night I was
in my room and I went to the window i took the screen out and
leaned out the window as far as I could ( I am 17 stories up)
and i know they dont help but I tryed using my binoculars to no
avail. I climbed back in my room re put the screen in the window
and for the first time in a about a month I spent watching this
this . It just dissappeaerd it moved so fast to the left going
west and I looked all around to try and see is this for real or
what and since that night I only saw it twice more. Think what
you want but I know I saw a ufo and it wasnt the only time
either I have seen one.

PM : on
My_Sighting_Submission : Sighting of a single bright light in
the sky. >From my Kitchen window it just appeared in a N NE
position. There were no other flashing lights visible ie like
that of a helicoptor. I could not hear any sound at all. The
height of the object was about 400 ft. Visible for about 30
seconds and then the light went out like a light bulb as if it
accelerated away from me at an amazing speed. It could not be a
helicoptor as It would have been audible and other flashing
lights would have been visible. I have also ruled out the
possibility of this being an aeroplane as it was too low and the
light dissapeared too quickly.
