1. UFO sightings over Forth no dream for bar boss Derek. Another mysterious flying object has been spotted in the night skies over Edinburgh. The blazing circle of light - with a strange spiral effect in the middle - was captured hovering above the river Forth by a video camera. It emerged just days after another amateur photographer spotted bizarre images in pictures he took from exactly the same spot at Calton Hill. And today UFO experts said they believe the latest incident is a classic UFO sighting - and revealed that Edinburgh and Fife skies have become a hotspot for mysterious sightings.
In the latest incident, bar manager Derek Davies was videoing the night skies over the Firth of Forth with his camcorder when the static circles of light caught his eye. “I Couldn’t believe it when I focused on this large bright light in the sky over the river. It hovered there for a few seconds and suddenly disappeared,” said Derek, 26. “I waited until a plane came over and then filmed that. It was obviously a plane, the other light wasn’t....I would be happy if someone told me it was just a helicopter, but it just didn’t seem like it.”
Derek admits to believing in extraterrestrials, and says he has seen X-Files type phenomena on two occasions before, but never had the chance to catch them on film. The video was taken about 10 pm last Friday and shows clear skies, broken only by the strange circular white glow. A Civil Aviation Authority spokesman said they could not confirm if there were any aircraft over Edinburgh at the time. Air traffic controllers at Edinburgh Airport said they had received no reports of a UFO on Friday evening and a Lothian Borders Police spokesman said no one reported anything unusual. A spokesman for the RAF at Leuchars airbase said there were not military aircraft in the area at the time.
There have been dozens of reported UFO sightings over the last ten years, including a cone shaped object that appeared when the Forth Bridge Centenary celebrations opened. Also, over Bonnybridge in 1996, the most extraordinary photograph of what looks like a large luminous micro organism - which was clearly not a cloud and was extraordinarily similar in detail to a form of Didinium (sp) - a hunter killer protozoan. (perhaps somebody was trying to tell the local pond life something about itself?)
2. More strange archeological facts about Eastern Scotland emerged from research by Andrew Hennessey - who is following the UFO flap which seems to extend all up and down the East Coast which takes in Edinburgh, Fife and Dundee, as well as the Bonnybridge and Lothias - approximately 100 square miles!! Local legends in Fife indicate that Underground Cities inhabited by the local Elven population of “Sidhe” - pronounced ‘She’ were in an Eastern area known to the old times as ‘Agatharsi’ (spelling is phonetic). There are numerous legends of olden heroes such as Arthur, Merlin and the Cymrii peoples who were later displaced to Wales, but the latest tidbit that really captures my imagination comes from further North than we have been so far - near Inverness in fact. There is a peninsula known as the Dark Isle - surrounded by the Cromarty Firth - famous for its Witches, paganism, Macbeth, the Brahan Seer of Inverness who prophesied many of today's events - and who for his trouble - got deep fried!!
Near the Black Isle, in a church in a town called Brechin, not 30 miles from the Black Isle, there is a Pictish standing stone which has a classic reptilian grey carved on it - the carving is surrounded by Pictish script. An area with its legends and secrets, yet amongst the Sorcery and Witchcraft of the Black Isle near the shore of Rosemarkie - is a glen called the Faerie Glen which leads to a place known in local legend as ‘The Centre of the Universe’. Not far away are 3 Vitrified Forts, and there is a very ancient Templar Site. The area of the ‘Centre of the Universe’ is also known for Thomas Urquharts’ dwelling - a famous mathematician, “Templar” and linguist in the 18th century - who is said to have invented a universal language to be spoken (or which might have been spoken) by all mankind. He is reported to have died laughing at the news of the Jacobite Rebellion!!!
It is said in the Scottish Folklore that circa 1800 (there is a precise date recorded somewhere) that the Sidhe or She took to their ships and left for the stars.
Near Perth at Aberfoyle, the Reverend Robert Kirk - who wrote the Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Faeries circa 1690 ad (ISBN 0 85991 9164) suggested that the She travelled about in vehicles, conducted abductions, and could materialise by a process which can only be described as ‘mechanistic’ and un-Christian - he himself claims to be one of Scotland's earliest Abductees!!
The Quest for Merlin by Nikolai Tolstoy, (ISBN 0241-113563) puts very ancient and magical legends of Arthur and the round table in and around the UFO hotspot area of the Lothians.
Scotland is a puzzle which unfortunately does not get unravelled in today's press - news of modern day Jacobean Princes of Merogingian descent in Edinburgh are perhaps less puzzling than the evidence of strong connections extraordinary graves near Cairnpapple Hill in West Lothian were seen to hold the remains of beings over 7 feet tall.
On a conspiratorial note - two different researchers in different fields of study had requests for maps of the mines and underground workings in West Lothian turned down after being ‘extensively interviewed’ by a ‘man from upstairs’ in the National map library in Causewayside, Edinburgh - the requested maps appear to be ‘suspended in transit’ between two libraries at the moment, one of the researchers commented that she thought she had done something very wrong! One can only wonder - but news of the contemporary underground facilities is (perhaps) another story....
