Hum Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 HILLS and sea flank the picturesque and sleepy village of West Kilbride in Ayrshire. A typical Scottish sky, a changing pattern of light and cloud hangs over the town. The days when a thriving weaving industry supported local employment are long gone. Today the area is more concerned with crafts; that's home crafts and small businesses, and spacecrafts and little green men. Yes, according to recent statistics, that big old sky is continually being punctuated by strange lights, odd-shaped crafts and generally all manner of unidentified flying objects. Last year reports released by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) revealed that West Kilbride had the highest number of recorded sightings of flying saucers in Britain during 2004. A total of 12 sightings were made in the village, which makes it Britain's closest rival to the UFO capital of Roswell, New Mexico. Reported sightings were consistent: yellow spheres, sometimes alone, sometimes flying in groups of up to 25, all hovering over the hills of West Kilbride. The MoD does follow up reports of UFOs to check whether Britain's airspace is compromised, but unless there appears to be a threat they don't attempt to analyse the sightings. Staff agree that many reports do remain a mystery. The MoD says that although there are no Air Force bases near West Kilbride - which might explain the high rate of sightings there ? a number of landowners are thought to use their own private aircraft, while helicopters are also used by police and oil rig workers. In most cases, it seems likely that an earthly explanation for the unexplained yellow saucers in West Kilbride's dramatic skies can be found. Despite this there remains a thriving interest in UFOs in Scotland. Ron Halliday, chair of Scottish Earth Mysteries and author oUFO Scotlandi> anUFOs: The Scottish Dimensioni> insists that there is something strange in them there West Kilbride hills: "Scotland has more sightings of UFOs proportionate to its population than anywhere else in the world. It's true that many times people mistake natural phenomena for strange things and usually there is an explanation. But some reports are harder to explain, especially the close up ones and increasingly people are capturing things on video or camera. There is no doubt in my mind that some things can?t be explained away." full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boakzeor Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Interesting, but unlikely to be UFOs - I don't really believe in anything like intelligent life on other planets. Life, yes, but aliens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h00nta Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I've seen 'UFOs' on at least 2 occasions - within 15 miles/10 years of each other, and a bit further north though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawk-F117 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 As a resident of Scotland, and less than an hour from the place in question, I'm sure many people might mistake things that come from: http://www.dreamlandresort.com/black_proje...chrihanish.html for UFO's. I suspect there's something strang going on there, I know the special forces have landed there on previous occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
