EchelonDivision Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 From http://www.rense.com/general33/NEscotlandresidents.htmNE Scotland Residents See'Ball' UFO Dive Toward SeaBy Marc HorneThe Evening Express12-27-2A mystery object was seen streaking through the sky near a North-east community.A comet-like ball was seen plunging towards the sea off Cammachmore, near Stonehaven.The bizarre X-files-style sighting left residents baffled - but skywatchers believe it may have been a piece of space junk.The Cammachmore "comet" was spotted in unseasonably clear skies at around 10 in the morning."Myself and my husband were having a cup of coffee when something caught my eye out of the kitchen window," said the woman, whose home overlooks the coast."We both stared out at the sky and could not believe what we were seeing. The object was heading straight down from the sky and was travelling at some speed."The couple, who did not want to be named, then grabbed binoculars to get a better view."I can only describe it as looking like a ball - with a small comet-like tail behind it," she said."My husband is a bit of a plane buff and we both agreed this definitely was not any kind of aircraft."The object then silently vanished from view within minutes.Aberdeen Coastguard were unaware of it."My guess is that people were confused by the sight of the sun for the first time in months," joked a spokesman.A Met Office spokesman said: "From the description it sound like it may well have been space debris."

-matthEw- Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Why is that choice of description amusing me so much????haha, i was thinking of putting it in quotation marks, but thought it looked better without them. its because we were standing next to traffic cones and it was supposedly double the size of one of them.thats the size it looked from where we were sitting, it was obviously bigger. im still trying to get a hold of this small versus faraway concept?( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
