U.K. UFOs

Thanks I have corrected the missing letter that caused all the chaos in the link above! Had a bad kidney infection for the past couple of weeks and not thinking straight. That's my excuse. Though it could just be my age!

Just had a very enjoyable read of the most recent Northern UFO News, interesting as ever - thanks for putting these together and making them so easily available, Jayceedove, it is appreciated.

Get well soon.
 
I missed doing the magazine (which I first edited in 1975) and I always promised subscribers back in 2002 when it went on hiatus that it would be back. I had to give up as I just had no time or money to do it when I became a full time carer. So I am happy to be able to keep that promise to the few who might still be around - despite 15 years between those two issues! Trying to think what to do with issue 200 now looming in November. Many of the earlier ones are available out there in an archiving project on line. Though I don't think as far back as those spirit duplicator ones in very early days. Technology over 43 years has made it so much easier than it used to be. I recall having to be driven from Stockport to Nottingham by Roy Sandbach to pick up copies from the only printers we could then afford in the 80s/90s. Emjay - who used to specialise in small magazine runs and produced several UFO ones when there were lots of them around in many big towns.
 
West Lothian Council create ‘UFO trail’ at site of famous close encounter
image.jpg

Bob Taylor was convinced 'of his encounter with aliens. Picture: contributed

The scene of a close encounter with a UFO is set to attract visitors from across the world after being officially recognised by a council.

West Lothian Council has created a “UFO trail” in woods where a forestry worker claimed he was attacked by a craft from outer space almost 40 years ago.

It remains the only such incident in the UK to have led to a criminal investigation and made headlines around the world.


Etc

Now there's more than one West Lothian question.
 
One of my favourite UFO cases, unlike most CE3Ks the things are genuinely alien, not even vaguely humanoid, and there're physical traces. What actually caused it is still open to debate.

Even if there is a logical explanation - epilepsy, dog tugging at his trousers etc I find it fascinating how his mind came up with such a story. A really interesting case.

Interesting, but how West Lothian Council can justify a penny of tax payers' money on it, is a far bigger 'mystery'.
 
There is (was) a certain Scottish Councillor who was notorious fro promoting doubtful connections in the name of tourism.

Not so much 'is it true', but 'if it gets a few more pennies in the sporran who cares ?'.

Looks like aliens from the planet Lens Flare to me.

A 'flying saucer' has been spotted in the sky above Glasgow city centre.
The mysterious UFO was captured on video late on Friday seemingly darting around the sky close to the entrance to Glasgow Green.

Yep. Lens flare.
 
UFO's seen in Dundee. They certainly don't look as big as a setting sun to me. From the colour, I'd hazard a guess at Chinese lanterns. I used to live in a flat that had a view out over the river to Fife and when it was clear it was possible to see the landing lights of aircraft over Edinburgh airport but in this case, the colour is wrong - unless atmospheric haze gave them an orange colour.
Dundee man captures video of ‘UFO’ above River Tay
by James Simpson
July 8, 2019, 10:16 am

A Dundee man believes he may have had a close encounter of the third kind after spotting two mysterious objects in the sky.
Stephen Bigg had clocked the objects across the waters of the River Tay in the early hours of Friday.
The two orange blobs were visible from his home on Ann Street on the Hilltown.
He suggested the floating orbs could be classed as unidentified flying object (UFO).
He said: “As I looked out from my flat they were to the left of the rail bridge over in the direction of Fife.
“Looking from where I was they looked as big as the sun going down.
“I’ve lived here for three and half years and I’ve never seen anything like this.
“I do believe it’s a UFO – what else could it be?”
Within the footage Stephen captured, one of the objects disappears before mysteriously emerging again as they both appear to be hovering in close proximity to one another.

Haze can easily give rise to an orange colour. The lights could be aircraft, head-on to the camera and probably several miles apart. An exact time would be good - but if 'early hours' means about 1am, a couple of mail flights operated by West Atlantic often come into Edinburgh at about that time, from East Midlands and Stansted.
 
Nice little roundup of famous Scottish cases in the paper today:

Prompted by the sighting in Airdrie last week. From the article: "Last week, an Airdrie supermarket worker took photographs that he claimed showed a strange blueish-green "flying saucer" and a diamond-shaped cluster of "neon beams" while walking home from work."
 
Woman Thinks She May Have Seen A UFO In Rodborourgh

A woman claims to have photographed a UFO over Rodborough. Daphne Denley claimed to have photographed an unidentified flying object - UFO - as she snapped the setting sun.

She had been using her camera to photograph a stunning sunset over Rodborough, on Sunday, May 17. When she looked at the images she spotted the unexplained object. "You have to see it to believe it," Daphne said. "I did wonder if it was from the flash on my camera or perhaps the street lighting.

"Having looked at the photo details, my camera flash was off and at the same time the next night no street lighting was on. "I sound bonkers, I know, but these things don't happen much... or do they?"

Frederick Delaere, coordinator of the Belgian UFO Reporting Centre, told The Daily Telegraph that more people being at home and looking at the sky as a result of coronavirus, clear weather, and the large number of Starlink satellites launched by Elon Musk's company SpaceX could be reasons behind a recent rise in UFO sightings.

It doesn't look anything like a satellite to me. What am odd response from The UFO Reporting Centre.
 
The first thing I'd like to know about the Denley photo is the scenario in which it was captured. Was she outside, or was she inside and taking the shot through a window?

The reason I'm wondering is that this resembles a number of classic faux UFO photos in which the object turns out to be the reflection of (e.g.) an interior lamp on a window through which the photo was being taken.

If this is supposed to have been caused by lens-flare ~ as has been suggested in the news article, then I don't agree. Lens flares in the main are caused mainly by refractions, maybe multiple refractions appearing to look like windows; rings, or orbs from outside, or from inside the camera lens/lenses, from the image of the light point i.e. like the Sun. In this photo it appears that there are multiple singular lights arranged upon the apparent object. Most lens flares that I've come across have been in the form of coloured orbs and such like, nowhere as detailed and well defined as in this photograph.
Further... after refining the image and clarifying the available detail in the image caught on the Ladies camera, this image does indeed appear to be the image of an reflected wall light with wall fixture beneath/or, a suspended ceiling light. (*Note light cover above lit part of the image)

Jayceedove,

Just read the item in Northern UFO News.

My question would be ' why would David Clark be showing any interest at all in this ?'

It is well known that he is very skeptical about ufos in general and usually puts everything down to miss identifications and the machinations of various government departments.

Basically, for all he has to say on them, he doesn't believe they exist. It comes over in all his interviews. Always did.

This simple hoax will be playing right into his hands.

(ex-YUFOS)
Clark did some excellent work in collecting old airship cases then concluded with the explanation that he had in fact brought along with him in the first place. I sent him a detailed response once [https://www.dropbox.com/s/a6syghv9gc218sv/About the scareship.pdf?dl=0] and was not surprised when I got no reply!
 
with 'tech' they mean every object that was 'engineered' and has straight lines, square angles and supposed 'intelligent design', like pyramids and collapsed pillars, statues and so on. the curiosity rover provides us with lots of pictures of stuff on Mars that is not just another shattered rock, or a natural anomaly, caused by erosion. also we get a picture of a dinosaur skull! (it makes me wonder who or what slingshotted a DINOSAUR from here to Mars). anyway, this picture was carefully 'placed' into the slide-show by the people who edited it, only the viewers who are patient enough to watch the entire show get it flashed to them on the end of the show, for a few seconds.. it may also be an editing-flaw, like STOP THE SHOW! the rest is classified! I just take it as a lucky gift I found it, before it will be made unaccesible by the authorities..

There are some people that believe when the asteroid hit the dinosaurs, it slung up a mass of the dead melting carcasses into space and over the millions of years the remains have spread across the Solar System and fallen onto Moons and Planets.
