Glasgow Orange Light Sighting

Skies above the East End, Glasgow

On a chilly winter evening in 2011, residents of Glasgow's East End were treated to a bizarre spectacle. A bright orange light was seen moving slowly below the cloud line, its vibrant colour standing out against the drab January sky. The witness who reported the incident described the light as moving steadily, almost languidly, before a massive roar pierced the air, reminiscent of fighter planes. The sound seemed to be heading straight for the light, which then shot upwards, disappearing into the clouds with incredible speed. The sudden change in velocity was as startling as it was brief, leaving the witness in awe of what they had just seen.
