Thirty years ago, Scotland was the centre of the UFO world. The 1990s started
with a photograph that has achieved almost folkloric status as one of the best
images of an Unidentified Flying Object. Then came a flood of sightings of
mystery objects in a part of central Scotland which came to be known as the
Falkirk Triangle. These captured the world’s imagination, attracting journalists
from around the globe and leading to claims of conspiracies, cover-ups and cheap
publicity stunts. The truth may still be out there. It is certainly complicated.
And three decades on, what actually happened is still the subject of passionate
debate.
