Prestwick Incident

Date: 1999

Location: Prestwick, Scotland

Glasgow Prestwick Airport isn’t just popular with tourists heading to sunnier climes, it’s also a jumping off point for UFOs, reports have revealed.

In 2010, the MoD released a series of files which documented a strange encounter at the airport in February 1999.

The traffic controller there tracked a fast moving and unexplained UFO on the airport radar, sparking a flurry of activity.

The RAF air defence staff launched an urgent investigation and impounded radar tapes.

But the report concluded that no additional evidence could be found to corroborate the so called Prestwick Incident.
