This UFO sighting hails from Scotland again, and offers some compelling proof, a video recording.The Dundee Courier, October 14, 1996, relates how a Scots grandmother had become the center of a UFO investigation, thanks to video footage she had captured on her video camera at daybreak on September 27.
The article describes how the footage grandmother Margaret Ross of Falkirk had taken showed a pulsating bright object in a cloudless sky to the south of her home.
The snowball-type object is obviously far brighter and bigger than any star in the sky.
For 15 minutes, it remains in the same position, then dramatically its appearance gradually transforms into a half moon shape with 4 diagonal bars of high intensity brightness.
The mystery object is seen on tape for about 40 minutes before it disappears from the sky.
Margaret described to the Dundee Courier what had prompted her to make the recording:
I got up at 6:00 a.m. and looked out of my bedroom window, I saw what looked like a big snowball in the sky.
Its outside edges then became pointed, I don’t know what this was but it was definitely not a star, plane, helicopter or balloon.
Meanwhile Margaret’s daughter Alexis, who lived some 2 miles away, also saw the strange object.
She told the Dundee Courier how she saw it changing shape.
It was awesome. I got my husband, George, and my 2 kids out of bed and they saw it too.
Margaret’s video was lauded by experts, including top researcher Ron Halliday of Stirling University, he said it is one of the best footages I have seen from anywhere in the world, such a length of footage is very unusual.
Film of alleged phenomena is very rare and usually lasts for a few fleeting seconds.
At the moment, there is no obvious explanation as to what Mrs. Ross captured on video.
We will now have to examine the tape frame by frame and that will take some time.
UFO Watcher Graham Knewstub, who founded Britain’s first UFO organization, the Bristol Flying Saucer Bureau.
Kenny Higgins, chairman of the Scottish Research into Unidentified Flying Objects concurred, drawing on his 20 years of UFO research experience:
It’s a good a piece of evidence of a UFO in Scotland as I’ve ever seen, it is very rare you get footage of anything other than a bright light, I have never seen anything resembling the shape in the sky that Mrs. Ross has captured.
So what do you think?
Are you convinced by the experts opinions and the evidence that Margaret managed to record?
Or is there something else that could be behind the footage?
