The Falkirk Triangle: An Alien & UFO Hub in Scotland

In this episode, Annie and Jenny investigate some of the unexplained phenomena seen in the skies above Scotland. Since the 1990s the town of Bonnybridge has been the centre of Scotland’s UFO activity, with thousands of reported sightings leading to it being crowned ‘The Roswell of Scotland’. It is a hotspot in the greater area known as The Falkirk Triangle, in which many strange and unexplained encounters have occurred. Perhaps the best-known of these is Bob Taylor, a forester who saw more than just trees in the forest. 

Listen to this world-famous alien encounter explored in depth, through the portal of local newspapers. Bob’s encounter is not the only one reported in the Scottish press, from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, these sightings are always exciting and sometimes newsworthy. Some are mysterious and unsolved, others are mysterious and solved, but all… are out of this world. None more so than Annie’s very own tale of a mysterious encounter in the Highlands.
