The subject of UFOs has been on the rise in recent years. This topic, especially regarding modern sightings, has been circulating since World War II. One common misconception is that this phenomenon is purely American, but there have been sightings elsewhere as well. The Celtic world is no exception to this. Scotland, in particular, has seen a lot of UFO sightings, but other countries have their own sightings as well.
Bonnybridge and Falkirk Triangle, Scotland
Bonnybridge in Scotland has been named the UFO capital of
the UK. It is said that this small town has seen the most UFO sightings on the
planet with 300 sightings each year. The region the town is in has earned the
nickname of the Falkirk Triangle.
In 1979, Robert Taylor came across a metallic gray vessel in
the shape of a sphere. It measured seven yards in diameter and is said to stink
of burning brakes. The vessel unleashed orbs with prongs that released charges
that left Taylor unconscious. The sighting was even mentioned in his obituary.
In March of 1992, a family saw a blue light the size of a baseball
hovering on a road between Hallglen and Bonnybridge. This came with the sound
similar to a door being open and a strange howling sound. Four years later, there
were reports and videos of an orange oval light spotted over Falkirk. It
shifted from an oval shape to a classic white UFO flying saucer disc .
Calvine, Scotland
The Ministry of Defense has six photos of a diamond-shaped
UFO over Calvine. Employees have said that these photos are the best photos the
Ministry has. The photos depict a craft that is 75 feet in diameter.
Cardiff, Wales
In February of 2016, a small town of 3500 residents in Wales
witnessed something out of the War of the Worlds. Residents saw military aircrafts
chasing colorful drones that were circling a giant pyramid craft in the sky.
Military officials claimed that it was a training exercise, but the residents
believe it was something much more.
Clonmacnoise, Athlone, Co. Offaly, Ireland
In 743 CE, several ships were seen over the skies of Teltown
(Clonmacnoise Abbey). Witnesses could see the crewmen inside throwing either
fishing spears or an anchor to the surface. While there have been embellishments
made to the story, there are records that something did, in fact, happen that
year.
Galicia UFO Flap
A UFO flap is when several reports of activity appear from a
certain area. It is believed that flaps indicate a rise in UFO activity. In 1995,
several reports were made, including the sighting of an oval glow, a floating
multicolored object, and a triangular aircraft performing maneuvers. There was
even a report of a man’s car being lifted 30 feet in the air before being set
down further down the road. These sightings
came from all over Galicia.
