Thanks for posting this as your contribution means it is pretty much case closed on the first 'black triangle UFO' sighting that got them into an initial excited, heightened state that then led to them (mis)interpreting the pea harvesting as a landed alien spacecraft etc.I live in the Carse of Gowrie between Dundee and Perth and when I first moved here I was amazed to find I was able to clearly see from my bedroom window the lights of aircraft approaching Edinburgh airport, a distance of just over 30 miles away as the crow flies. They appear just as described; a single white light which, as the aeroplane descends and turns, resolves into a couple of white lights with strobes then vanishes altogether as it continues to turn away and drops below the horizon. The same lights are most certainly be visible from the Howe of Fife where the encounter took place. I've just measured on Google maps and the distance from my house to the field in question at Newton of Falkland is 9.5 miles in a straight line more or less directly over Lindores Hill.
I'll need to buy a copy of the book now!
