North West UFO Research - July 2009
UFO in the sky over Isle of Arran, Scotland
Report by Pat Regan
Gordon Smith was enjoying a family holiday, on the Isle of Arran, off the coast of west central Scotland, on 18th Sept. 2006. It was mid-morning, and the weather was dry, quite clear, with excellent visibility and light, hazy cloud cover with only a light breeze.
Gordon Smith's picture above clearly shows the bird to the left of the frame - yet what it that moving in on the right?
Looking skywards, Gordon spotted a buzzard-type of bird and decided to take a couple of photographs. He saw nothing unusual in the sky at the time of taking the photos and nothing remarkable on the camera’s small LCD view screen either. It was later, when transferring the pictures onto his laptop, that he noticed something strange in the sky, slightly above and to the right of the buzzard, in the 2nd of his two photos. Gordon assured me that there was nothing at all in the sky at that time, apart from the buzzard.
Gordon sent me a zoomed/cropped and colour/contest enhancement of the image to make it clearer. A mysterious disc or saucer – shaped object can be clearly seen in the picture. Gordon’s camera was a Nikon Coolpix 8700 8Mp digital camera. The original file is a jpg, size 2.66Mb, resolution 3264x2448.
Although the bird of prey is frozen by the camera’s shutter speed, which was set on auto and recorded 1/238 sec, the unknown object appears to have motion blur, which possibly indicates it was moving at considerable speed.
