Scottish UFO Takes A Hit.

With most UFO sightings, the observers relate what they see and suggest what it may be.
It Scotland it seems, they just shoot at it!

Stirlingshire woman claims UFO was shot down over a tiny village.

'A video has surfaced online apparently showing an unidentified object on fire and in distress in
the skies above Kippen, Stirling.



The video was posted by a Youtube channel, titled UFO Today, and was submitted by an anonymous
female subscriber who lives near the village. The video was captured on Saturday, September 1, after
the woman heard a loud bang outside. She rushed to her balcony with her camera and she noticed
what she described as “a UFO flying erratically near a hill”.

In the video, the object can be seen to be seemingly on fire, with flames and sparks emitting from it.
The object was rapidly changing altitude and direction before tailing off and seemingly disappearing.

The woman says she does not know what the object was, but says she is sure that it was not man-made.
She added: “It did not produce any sound at all. When I analysed the footage I noticed the object ejected
a lot of material.”
Police say that they have no reports of the incident.

Comments flooded in, speculating what the video may contain.

John Oh said: “It looks more like something in trouble, if there’s no noise then it probably hasn’t been shot
down. It could be a technical fault. Also at the end (of the video) it looks like something small flying away
from it to the right, almost like an escape capsule. It’s a good video and makes you wonder.”

TimTheSeer said: “It holds altitude and even goes upward and does a big backflip. It’s wide like a small
aircraft, hang glider or parachute. Not a missile shape.” Jacob Blanton added: “I thought it was fireworks
based on how it burned, but why no sound after the initial launch? I suppose a shooting/burning firework
may not be audible at this distance, unlike an exploding one.”



The latest incident adds to central Scotland’s growing reputation as a UFO hotspot.
In June last year, the Observer reported how a Bannockburn woman who spotted a UFO flying over the town
says she was left unable to sleep at night following the incident.

The 42-year-old told how she made the sighting in the Hillpark area of the town when she saw a circular
shaped aircraft in the sky that she estimated to be around 100–feet in diameter.
There was a similar sighting in Cowie in March, 2016, when a 58–year old eyewitness reported seeing
fast moving lights in the sky.

In April 2013 another person spotted an unusual sight above Menstrie.
In December 2012 another person spotted strange lights in the sky over Stirling Castle. It has been claimed
there have been 300 UFO sightings in Bonnybridge...'

WoW, that was a cool video, was it CGI?
Looks real enough.

I don't think the military would be stupid enough to shoot at it and with what would they use?
Maybe a anti aircraft missile?
Are there any anti aircraft missile launching sites near there?


Or maybe the local population needs to have medical exams done ASAP to check for contamination of some sort.  :mediumfrightened:

Central Scotland has been a bit of a UFO hotspot for years.

One little known fact is that since the decline of local wild haggis populations in the 70's, we've been harvesting alien greys which taste very similar to wild haggis meat.
It usually only takes one shot from Big Angus's blunderbuss to bring them down, but he only "winged" this one, setting it on fire, making it disintegrate until the escape pod was activated.

The Highland Hotel in Kippen won't have any Haggis on the menu for a few days now. It's still worth a visit though, for the whisky alone.

Central Scotland has been a bit of a UFO hotspot for years...

It really is! 

The Falkirk Triangle.

'The small Scottish town of Bonnybridge (pop. 6,000) not far from Edinburgh, bills itself the UFO
capital of the world. According to its colourful local councillor, Billy Buchanan, almost half of the
town’s residents have seen a UFO at one time or another and on a yearly basis, around 300
sighting reports are received from Bonnybridge and its environs –an area stretching from Stirling
to the outskirts of Edinburgh which has been dubbed the “Falkirk Triangle”.

It all started in 1992 when James Walker noticed some strange lights in the sky while driving home.
At first he thought they were stars but was startled when he saw them move and assumed a triangle
shape.

Since then, UFO sightings have been coming in thick and fast in Bonnybridge.
Local politician Billy Buchanan, in among all the other mundane problems such as burst water mains
and inadequate rubbish collection which his constituents asked him to solve, found himself receiving
more and more complaints about UFOs.

Eventually, these reached such a volume that he felt he could ignore the issue no longer.
He chose to go public with it, attracting massive media attention to the town. Councillor Buchanan
wrote to the Queen, the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Defence, demanding that the UFO reports
be investigated.

Predictably, the publicity generated resulted in even more people coming forward, claiming to have
seen UFOs.

Fortunately, in the modern age, lots of people have video cameras or cameras on their mobile phones,
so one feature of the Falkirk Triangle flap has been that quite a few of the UFOs spotted have also been
captured on film or photograph.

Many of the sightings occur at night and consist simply of weird lights in the sky.
Often, they change shape or colour or modulate in brightness over time.

There’s more to the Falkirk Triangle sightings than lights in the sky, however. Take the case of the Slogett
family, for example. Like others, they saw a mysterious blue light in the sky as they walked home one
evening.

But then they saw a flying saucer “about the size of a house” land right in moorland close by.
They heard some kind of sound suggestive of a door opening on the vehicle. Terrified, they ran away as fast
as they possibly could but were pursued by two smaller crafts. Eventually, the crafts disappeared and the
family made it home safely. Alien abductions have also been reported in the area.

Could there be a conventional explanation for the spate of UFO sightings in the Falkirk Triangle? Scotland
certainly has its fair share of military bases. Could the apparent UFOs be nothing more than experimental
military aircraft being tested at night?

Certainly, many of the Falkirk Triangle sightings are at long-range and occur at night.
Secret aircraft could perhaps account for some of these but not for the short-range sightings or the reports
of alien abduction.

Bonnybridge Sceptics

Sceptics claim that the Bonnybridge UFO hotspot is bogus –a grand scheme concocted by Billy Buchanan
to drum up interest in his town, which has languished in the economic doldrums for some time and where a
little more tourist traffic would no doubt be good for the local economy.

A certain amount of UFO tourism has indeed developed in response to the flood of sighting reports.
And Councillor Buchanan wants more. He has been talking up a scheme to build a UFO information centre
tourist attraction in the town but so far nothing has come of it owing to a lack of funding.

Others believe that there really is something to the Bonnybridge phenomenon, but that Councillor Buchanan
has made the most of it, perhaps exaggerating a little to try and win publicity for his town. He has certainly
succeeded in that with the establishment of a twinning relationship with Roswell in New Mexico, site of the
famous alleged saucer crash in 1947.

Some locals are reportedly unhappy with Councillor Buchanan, complaining that he has made the town a
laughing stock. Everywhere they go, they say, whenever they tell others they are from Bonnybridge, they
find themselves being asked questions about UFOs.

Conclusion

A disproportionate number of UFO reports are still received from the Falkirk Triangle area. It does seem
to be one of the world’s current premier UFO hotspots. So, if you fancy seeing one for yourself, why not
pay the town a visit, put a smile on Billy Buchanan’s face and help the local tourism trade?...'

Very interesting video, for sure.  

From what the whistle blowers say, the military do shoot down "alien" craft so they can study how it works, especially if it's one they haven't seen in the past.
I doubt they even wait to find out if they are "friendly"; just blow their ass out of the sky, then ask questions.  

Of course, I guess this might be a smart move, being as waiting for them to land might be fatal for humans. It's really hard to know what to think when you have some people in the UFO research field saying all ETs are friendly with humans, and others saying they are all here to take our planet over and use us for slave labor.  

Back to the video, if I lived close by where this happened, I'd be keeping my eyes and ears open for military operations on the scene gathering evidence. I would also want to know what the UFO was dropping, and if it were a danger to humans.
