My first sighting
I was about 14. I was in my house out in Innellan with my parents. For some reason, something compelled me to go towards the window, and I remember seeing something which was of a brightness that out-did any of the lights shining off the window from inside the house. It was highly unusual, and I remember shouting my parents over
''Come look at this''
One of my parents, most likely my father said, ''Oh, what's that?''
We gathered to the front porch, and almost like something out of some supernatural program like the Xfiles, what we were observing was truely spectacular in every department.
Three objects, either of an orb like structure, or as saucer shaped but seem round as we were almost directly below them, where circling in some, unsual fashion, they converged and diverged from a single point, merging as though they were one object, to suddenly re-emerging as though seperating into three fragments again. Doing more circular tricks, I remember them speeding off into the clouds, one by one. Why did they just dissappear like that?
They must have been at an altitude of over 500 feet. Maybe a few more hundred above this, as their sizes where about the size of a fifty pence peice held at arms length. I remember saying, ''mum... is that aliens?''
I can't remember the discussions very well, but the incident was as clear as day. We never reported the incident. We found out, incidently that some other people had reported the sighting, most likely to the local police who (probably in the amusement of such a bizarre case) made a relatively large investigation into the sighting. They checked everywhere to see if there had been any search lights involved among a few other conventional explanations, even though most of these conventional explanations could be ruled out easily due to the nature of the sighting and description of the observations made. Our's fitted in exactly with those who also witnessed the event.
With no leads, the sighting went down as a curiosity. Apart from those who saw the incident, I doubt the event will be remembered by anyone nowadays in this town. Sad really. It could have been one of the most important events to ever strike this quintessentially small town.
My second sighting
During this last winter, I was going up to the local Grammer school and observing the night sky from the back, where there is an open field on crystal clear nights. But one night I simply took a walk up that area with no intentions of any star gazing or UFO spotting. I was... caught in my gasp of awe when I looked up, and a shadowy triangular object passed overhead and was either (relatively low) OR an extremely large object in general - and it passed with a speed not too fast; perhaps the speed of a commercial airliner. No sound could be heard. And if this had been seen from not directly above, I don't think I would have seen it. The reason why is because as it passed overhead, I made it's shape from the moonlight which almost seemed to make the silloutte outline of this object. I cannot confirm whether it was an aircraft or not.
I remember when I saw it, I said, ''Oh my God.''
I could almost believe there might be a terrestrial explanation for both accounts. The first account however makes me sway to more, unbelievable answers due to the incredibility of the event itself. The second sighting may have been a special secret aircraft. But I cannot be certain.
