14 DAY TRIAL // A family in Aberdeenshire, Scotland was awakened last night by strange lights circling a few hundred yards away from their home, in a rural area.
50-year-old Morag Ritchie first spotted the UFO, and asked Scott Bower, her daughter's boyfriend, to film the unusual phenomenon, STV reports.
"I saw lights in the sky and thought it was a strange looking star. When I looked closer, I realised they were moving in a spinning motion and then occasionally something shot off to the side. I kept going back to my bed but I was so unsettled that I continued waking up," the woman said.
The spectacle in the sky lasted for about 4 hours, with the object disappearing at the break of dawn.
"It’s very bizarre, the characteristics and the length of time that it remained in the air is quite unusual. The second option is military flares but they descend to the ground so that rules that out," Scottish UFO expert Malcolm Robinson stated.
