Hi Group,
Here are a couple of interesting sightings from last year,that took
place here in Scotland.I thought I would forward these to the list
members as they are slightly unusual in nature.
May the coming year be a fruitful one and good luck and good health to
you all............................Dave Ledger.
DUNDONALD SIGHTING,AYRSHIRE,SCOTLAND.
Date:June 1997.
Source: The Kilmarnock Standard: 4\7\97 11\7\97 25\7\97\
(Special thanks to Mark at Haunted Scotland for these reports)
------------------------------------------------------------------
About a dozen people watched a strange spectacle over Dundonald
at around the end of June. For about two hours an unidentified
flying object appeared to drift over several houses. At first the
object seemed to be elliptical and was about the size of a large
radar satellite dish. There seemed to be 14 or 15 flashing lights
underneath it as the object drifted over houses in Auchans Drive
and Cochrane Avenue.
People watched it from around 11.20pm to 1.20am. At times it
seemed to change its shape to resemble a large letter ‘M’. The
object often changed altitude to just over the roof tops and at
other times at a very high altitude. Some witnesses were
genuinely afraid others were astounded.
Debbie McNally described the thing, "as a series of circles,
giving off lights and rotating." Residents in the area also
believed that the UFO caused their light bulbs to blow.
The Kilmarnock Standard put forward the explanation that it could
have been a Gegenschein, although it is very rarely seen as far
North as Scotland. It appears in the sky, exactly opposite the
sun, after sunset and is caused by dust in the atmosphere. That
dust, says the Standard could have come from the volcano in
Montserrat and the flashing lights could have been stars!
On June the 27th members of the Ralston family from Saltcoats saw
something strange over Dundonald, " which kept disappearing and
coming back." By the time Mr. Ralston was back home in Saltcoats,
Ayrshire, they saw, "three layers of electric blue triangles
inside an oval shape which hovered just above the rooftops,
tilting on its side. It would disappear for a few seconds and
come back lower down in the sky. This lasted up to one hour and
then it disappeared. It was very frightening.
Philippa Knapp also saw something strange over Dundonald the same
night. She said: "My husband, son and friend and I all saw it. My
husband referred to them as lights but my son and myself thought
they were more like a cloud type substance of a purple shade,
small circles rotating forming a larger circle. We watched it
come towards us over the rooftops in Castleview from the
South-West direction. As it got close to us it changed shape,
swirled to its right then left and disappeared, but two or three
minutes later, exactly the same format took place. We observed it
for over an hour from about 11.35.
Local residents who witnessed the objects have rejected the
Gegenschein theory out of hand. More light bulbs in the area have
blown and there is an upsurge in failing electrical appliances.
Debbie McNally, using her sisters camera took a photo of the
‘thing’. Every frame on the camera when developed turned out fine
but the one showing the mystery object turned out blank.
KILMARNOCK TRIANGLE SIGHTING.
In the last week there has been a sighting of a triangle object
over Kilmarnock, the person making the report is an amateur
astronomer and he described it as ‘sinister’. He said: "It was a
large object and it rose above houses at around 2.am., than
slowly flew off over London Road.
The object was kite shaped with three or four white lights around
the edges and a flashing red light in the centre."
The witness thought the object was on the "prowl".
Half an hour after the sighting he saw lightening in the sky,
which he thought odd as it was a clear night.
