- *UFO SEEN AT BRIDGE OF DON*
-
- A Mystery object has been sighted flying across the night sky above
- Aberdeen. Photo sales assistant Anne Marnie (42) was left rubbing her
- eyes in disbelief after her early morning close encounter. She had gone
- to her door at 3am to get one of her cats when she saw a bright, white
- band of vapour in the sky above her Bridge of Don home. Stunned Anne,
- Forvie Cresent, traced the vapour to it's source - a craft with two or
- three lights which was travelling at speed. She said: "I couldn't
- identify it. It wasn't a plane or helicopter. It also made a deep noise
- which didn't sound like a plane. "I looked away for a few seconds, then
- when I looked back it had disappeared. I can't describe or explain what
- it was so to me it was an Unidentified Flying Object." Anne's experience
- is the latest in a series of strange sightings in the North-east,
- including reports of a huge luminous cloud reported at Muchalls last
- year. A brother and sister claimed to have seen white lights, moving
- within it, going left and right, on and of. The latest sighting is
- unlikely to have been a plane landing at or leaving Aberdeen as the city
- airport closes at 10.30pm. City aviation expert Jim Ferguson says the
- object may have been a large plane flying across the North east en-route
- to another country. A vapour trail could be seen on a clear night if the
- moon was bright, he said. "In situations like this it could have been
- something like a 747 Jumbo flying at high levels between the Low
- Countries and the US," said Mr. Ferguson. A spokesman for the Civil
- Aviation Authority couldn't say whether a civilian aircraft would have
- been flying over the city at the time of the sighting. The Ministry of
- Defence says many reports of alleged UFO sightings are also proved to be
- natural phenomena. What do you think? Write to the Evening Express,
