A HIGHLAND UFO.

A well known lady whose name I have been asked not to divulge saw a strange sight in the sky on the 2nd of June 1996 in Northern Scotland. As she talked to a friend on the telephone the lady suddenly saw something coming down the valley travelling very slowly. She describes it as being an, “Orange glowing ball, it came level with me then shot up over the mountains and then descended behind them” It seemed as though the ‘object’ was going to crash and she waited with bated breath for the noise of the impact. None came. All the while she had been giving her friend a running commentary over the telephone.

The next day she telephoned the Inverness Police who had actually at the time set up an officer especially to deal with the vast amount of UFO sightings in the area. She then contacted RAF Kinloss and gave them a report which they thanked her for and she thought that was that.

Five hours later the witness recieved a telephone call from an officer based at RAF Kinloss. The caller was very interested and wanted to know every minute detail and even wanted to visit the site as soon as possible. The officer the witness states, was quite open and admitted that what she had seen was no meteor, plane or helicopter that they knew of.

She also mentioned her sighting in the village the next day, although local newspapers reported only meteor activity. Locals then told her that three months earlier there had been sightings of objects moving down the same valley.

As mentioned there has been a great many UFO sightings from the Inverness area, so much so that the Inverness Police HQ assigned an officer to deal with the reports being made. Although when I contacted their press officer I was told there had only been two reports this year, and I quote, “The first was reported at 19.30hrs. on February 19th, 1996 in the Scorgie area of Inverness when a report was made of a bright light in the sky with green ‘laser’s’ coming from it. Further investigations revealed that the light was the planet Venus which was particularly bright at the time.”

The second report was timed at 15.51hrs. on 26th February of this year at Canal Road, Inverness when a silver\green coloured disc was reported as being seen in the sky above Caley Marina. Scottish Air Traffic Control at Prestwick were informed as a matter of course and it may be that you wish to contact them for further information.....”

Well I know of at least two other instances when strange lights\craft have been reported to the same constabulary since January. Also from another source, if it is true or not I do not know, RAF Kinloss have requested of the Inverness Police that they report all UFO sightings to them along with all details of the witnesses.

Mid December 1995-A Forfar man driving near St. Andrews claims a UFO with over a hundred blue lights in V formation flew over his car.
