Have been meaning to post about the case for some time. In represents one of the last great British 20th Century UFO cases (sadly thus far the 21st Century has yet to provide with another such 'classic' multiple-witness UFO and abduction incident).
This event took place on the night of 17th August 1992 on a dark, lonely road in central Scotland:

Essentially there are three distinct elements to the incident:

Essentially there are three distinct elements to the incident:
- The encounter with a "shimmering black, three-tiered" unidentified object "floating" at just 20-feet above the road (around a blind corner thats ent down a "shimmering curtain" of light as they had no choice but to drive under it, everything went black and then "seconds later" they were careering down the road having passed under it. The two witnesses are consistent in this account.
- The hypnosis and timings: the information gained through hypnosis - which took place months after the event - seem to be plagued with inconsistencies and heavily influenced by contemporary UFO literature and the recently released 'Fire in the Sky' Travis Walton UFO movie. Likewise, the timings around which the claimed "missing time" is construed are at best vague and often contradictory. Malcolm himself is prone to asking leading questions and ignoring evidence tat doesn't fit with his own personal viewpoint.
- Neither of them can remember how they got back to Edinburgh that night after the UFO encounter and the stop at Tabrax. Not even under hypnosis it would seem. This seems distinctly odd given it is a 20-odd mile journey and they had earlier encounter a "UFO"and hints at there being more to this incident than we have been told, but what...?
