Scotland: Dozens of UFO Sightings Grangemouth Area Not Alien Invasion
uploaded by Vinny
Update: Many thanks to John who's birthday party caused the alien invasion fears for sending me the photo of one of the "UFOs".
Residents in the area surrounding Grangemouth in Stirlingshire, Scotland made more than a dozen phone calls to police on Saturday night to report UFO sightings.
Scotland is safe for the moment and not under an alien attack as the sightings turned out to be from a party where people were releasing balloons with candles attached.
But residents in the surrounding area believed the illuminated objects were an alien invasion. A spokesman for Central Scotland Police said: "We've had call, after call, after call, saying it's UFOs."
Did you see strange sightings over Grangemouth? Were you at the party? Did you release a balloon in to the sky? Send us your comments using the form below:
