Unexplained object spotted in skies over West Lothian.

An STV viewer has contacted us with images of an unexplained glowing object in the skies over West Lothian.
John Dickson spotted the object on Wednesday night at around 10.35pm over Livingston.
He described it as heading in a north-east direction towards Edinburgh Airport.
Mr Dickson said that it was moving slowly and not making any sound, and was glowing with an orange light before it appeared to go dark and disappeared into the cloud cover.
The object reappeared a short time later, and was heading to the south west, before finally disappearing behind the clouds.
While the most likely cause of the sighting was a sky lantern, a paper balloon with a wire frame that floats in the sky while a candle burns inside it and heats up the enclosed air, the story cannot be so easily dismissed on account of the Livingston area being the location of one of the country's most famous UFO sightings.

Here's the original UFO story of the area:

In 1979, forestry worker Bob Taylor who was employed by Livingston Development Corporation came across a strange scene in Dechmont Wood. In a clearing there was a metallic spherical object around 12 feet high.

When Mr taylor approached it, two smaller spheres around three feet in diameter that appeared to be covered in spikes emerged from the bottom of the large sphere and began rolling towards him.

The small spheres grabbed his trousers and dragged him towards the large object, and he passed out.

He regained consciousness around 20 minutes, suffering a sore head and throat and a bitter taste in his mouth.

A subsequent investigation found marks on the ground corresponding to Mr Taylor's description of what happened.
