What is the Falkirk Triangle? UFO hot spot with 300 sightings every year

Many people would say the sightings of UFO's and extra-terrestrial life is a myth, but if you live in Bonnybridge, you'll probably disagree.

The sky has been home to numerous reported sightings, with most of them coming from an area known as the 'Falkirk Triangle'.

What is that we hear you ask. Well, it covers areas of the sky above Falkirk, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

And it's claimed people have spotted many mysterious things, such as flashing lights and flying saucers.

Bonnybridge is dubbed the UFO capital of the world and that's because there are over 300 sightings there every year.

A study also suggests that most of the town’s population have seen a UFO at some point in their lives.

Last year, A paranormal expert returned to Scotland in a bid to shed fresh light on a decades old UFO mystery.

Malcom Robinson, of Strange Phenomena Investigations, has lived south of the border in England for 23 years but has now returned to his homeland looking to 'continue where he left off' in 1998.

Malcom and local councillor Billy Buchanan hit the headlines back then with their investigations into sightings around Bonnybridge.

The pair appealed to four prime ministers - David Cameron, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and John Major- calling for an urgent probe into what was happening in the skies above the sleepy town.

The Bonnybridge phenomena became public in 1992 when businessman James Walker said he noticed some strange lights in the sky while driving home.

At first, he thought they were stars but was startled when he saw them move and assumed a triangle shape.

Around the same time, a family reported one of the most extraordinary sightings from the UFO hot spot.

They claimed to have been walking towards Bonnybridge at around 7pm on a clear March evening when they saw a circle of light ahead of them.
