MYSTERY SPACECRAFT SPOTTED OVER FALKIRK
---------------------------------------
UFO`s are back! Bonnybridge, Falkirk and surrounding districts are still seeing
strange objects in the sky which do not conform to conventional aircraft. The
reports , (or at least the documented ones) started again in early August 1994
when a Mrs May Macleod of Falkirk, noticed a strange object in the sky flying
low over Falkirk. Her sighting was featured in her local newspaper the Falkirk
Herald. This in turn brought out a further six witnesses to this object.
Firstly , on the night of August 8th 1994, 70year old Mary Higgins of
Westquarter (near Falkirk) , was sitting in her back garden with a neighbour,
Kathleen Swanston (31) and her son Andrew Swanston (6). The time was around
9.00pm when a strange silver cigar shaped object which was sharply defined in
the clear night sky, came into view.
No noise could be heard from this object and the puzzled witnesses stared in
disbelief as the object continued its path across the sky. In her UFO sighting
account form ,Mary stated that...."there was no tail , no wings, like any
airplane. It was also lower in the sky than any plane we have seen, which is
quite often...." The object proceeded to fly very slowly towards Falkirk. The
total duration of this sighting was around 2 minutes.
That same night , pensioners William Bestall (72) and his wife Mary (68) who
live in a flat in Falkirk which is situated on the 7th floor. Observed in  the
sky , (the time of this sighting was 9.30pm) a strange catherine wheel type
object spinning and rotating in the sky. At first they both felt that it was a
star or bright planet.( both have witnessed the same or similar object 3 times
this year ) At times this object would remain static with only the centre core
lit up. It rotated in both directions and was described as very luminous. After
a few minutes, the object shot off in a southerly direction at a speed
described by William Bestall as "beyond calculation"!
On the 14th of september 1994 , John Morrison (47) from Grangemouth (near
Falkirk) was out walking with his wife when they both observed a strange grey
ring in the sky which he is sure was not smoke or cloud, it did not move or
change shape. They both lost interest in it and walked on. The time was
3.30pm..
In late september I (Malcolm Robinson) recieved a telephone call from
Councillor Billy Buchanan who is assisting S.P.I. with the collection of UFO
reports in his area. He informed me that a whole street in Falkirk was out
watching a strange object in the sky and would i contact Mrs Jane Shaw.
This I did,  and sure enough Jane , with others, on the 22nd of September 1994,
Witnessed a strange "diamond shaped light " . I also contacted the local police
in the possibility that perhaps other individuals had contacted them with their
sighting. No-one, apart from Mrs Shaw herself had contacted the police. These
particular sightings are still under investigation.
Councillor Billy Buchanan is a man who works tirelessly for Bonnybridge
district and usually gets things done quick. But he is at a loss to provide an
explanation to his constituents of whom he represents, In regard to the spate
of UFO sightings over Falkirk district. I cant provide him with that answer,
for if i could then there would be no UFO problem!
Billy Buchanan and I (malcolm robinson), have already contacted the Ministry of
Defence in London in regards to these sightings, the MoD themselves cannot shed
any light on them, and in any case, they don`t represent a threat to British
air-space, (or thats what they keep telling us )
Desperate for an answer, or at least a Government enquiry, councillor Buchanan
has written a letter to the British Prime Minister John Major, informing him
about the ongoing UFO sightings in his district, and urging him, in his
capacity of Prime Minister, to pull a few strings and get an immediate enquiry
underway. We at S.P.I. are hopefull that Prime Minister John Major will take
this request seriously for if not, then both Billy and I aim to take our case
down to 10 Downing Street in person and present him with all our documentation
,(photo copied of course :-))
I`ve always said if you have no cheek , then you have no chance, nothing
ventured nothing gained. One will never get anything done by sitting on their
backsides , and so in this Major step (scuse the pun :)) we hope to draw
further attention to the on-going UFO sightings in Bonnybridge and Central
Scotland. We will keep you all posted
