In Bonnybridge, a picturesque Scottish village at the apex of an area dubbed the Falkirk Triangle, extraterrestrial encounters and UFO sightings are almost commonplace
Bonnybridge, a quaint Scottish village, has become the world's UFO capital with about 300 sightings each year, surpassing even Area 51 and Roswell in notoriety. Nestled within the so-called Falkirk Triangle, Bonnybridge is a hub for extraterrestrial experiences, from alien abductions to sightings of cigar-shaped spaceships.
Dubbed the 'Roswell of Scotland' and likened to the Bermuda Triangle for its mysterious allure as a potential portal to another dimension, this hotspot has drawn government scrutiny and prompted appeals to four Prime Ministers for assistance.
One chilling episode from 1992 involved friends Garry Wood and Colin Wright, who reported being captured by aliens in a flying saucer near Tarbrax, South Lanarkshire, while delivering a satellite TV system. At around 10pm, they encountered a "black" object in the sky, devoid of lights, round at the bottom, segmented into three parts, and measuring 30ft wide.
The friends were left stunned after blacking out for what they estimate was 10-15 seconds. When they regained consciousness, their car had completely spun round in the opposite direction. Checking the time, they had lost a whole hour.
Secret government “X-files” contain a two-page report on what became known as the “A70 incident” - sent to the Ministry of Defence’s UFO desk in 1996, four years after the encounter.
