Just as the MoD closed down its hotline for UFO reports the number of sightings in Scotland has increased substantially.

You would think that if there is a MASSIVE sightings increase there would be a MASSIVE increase in photographs or video. I wonder how reliable this reporting really is? In today's world I would think a MASSIVE increase would be covered rather exstensively, even if it was on youtube

Scotland sees massive UFO sightings increase.... .....and an unrelated massive increase in alcoholism in young people. Add a little seismic activity to the mix, and it would appear that the sightings of lights are more than likely what has been termed Unidentified Atmospheric Phenomena (UAP). "One of the earliest modern investigators to raise awareness of earth lights was, Charles Fort. In assembling his compendious record of unusual events, Fort began to spy possible connections that virtually no one before him had the range of data or wit to perceive.
