Margaret Ross from Stenhousemuir has video footage of the UFO she saw.

BYLINE: Paul Drury.

Granny Margaret Ross feared she was about to be beamed up by ALIENS... After a close encounter - IN HER BEDROOM. "I was so scared, I hid behind the curtain," said Margaret. "I was sure they were looking at me." Margaret, 63, survived unscathed... with astonishing video footage of a UFO. Her film, exclusively obtained by the Mail, shows a bright light hovering in the sky above her house in Stenhousemuir. The area is world-famous as a hot spot for UFO sightings. Brighter than a star, the object appears suddenly to zoom towards Margaret's camcorder. The disc-shaped UFO shows five clear stripes on the surface. Then it shoots away. Husband Alex, 72, said: "It wasn't just the camera that picked it up. I saw it too." The couple's terror began as they were preparing to go to bed. "I had just put the TV off when I looked out of the window," said Margaret. "I looked up to the sky and thought: 'What is that?' "I came downstairs for my camcorder because I could not believe what I saw." Margaret, takes her camcorder everywhere and she filmed the UFO for 20 minutes. Just a week before, a resident of a nearby village told police she had seen a "strange light in the sky". We gave Margaret's film to Archie Roy, Glasgow University's Emeritus Professor of Physics and Astronomy. And the prof was astonished by the video. He said: "I've never seen anything like this before." "Around 92 per cent of sightings can be easily explained. "But this one is one of the 8 per cent of phenomenon which science cannot recognise. "I have seen things like this before... but not changing shape the way this does." Is it the Devil? UFOs are being sent to Earth by the Devil, says Father Tom Kulp, one of America's experts on the supernatural. And UFOs figure in Biblical prophecies about the end of the world, he claims. Father Kulp has studied similarities between demons and aliens. The Greek Orthodox cleric, who is based in Wisconsin, points out that today's reports of encounters with alien beings are almost identical to many ancient accounts of demonic possession. He says: "The ultimate purpose of the UFO phenomenon is to help prepare the human race for the coming of the Antichrist, as foretold in the Bible."
