Top UFO sighting spots in the UK – including small Scottish town that gets 300 ‘visits’ a YEAR
UFOS have been in the news a lot recently since ‘leaked footage’ of flying triangle shapes was confirmed to be real by the Pentagon.
It’s not just the US that gets all the potential alien sightings though and the History channel has highlighted some of the top UFO sighting spots in the UK.
Bonnybridge, Scottland
The Scottish town of Bonnybridge is said to have an average of around 300 UFO sightings a year.
The small town has less than 10,000 residents but attracts lots of tourists who want to try and spot UFOs for themselves.
Sightings include “balls of lights” and some people think they’ve seen actual spaceships.
Despite calls for an official investigation in the area, one hasn’t been carried out yet.
London
London isn’t on the History channel list but last year it came into the spot light because of a UFO sighting list made public by the RAF.
The capital city of England had 54 UFO sightings reported in 2009.
In 2009 alone, 626 sightings were reported across the UK but that’s also the year that the RAF stopped collecting these records.
Liverpool
Back in 2015, a Ryanair flight over Liverpool’s River Mersey had to have a delayed landing due to a UFO sighting.
Multiple sightings have been reported since and the city used to be considered top of the UK’s UFO sighting hotspot list.
Warminster
Warminster in western Wiltshire is well known for its crop circles and UFO reports.
Crop circle reports have been coming in since the 1950s and theres even been claims of UFOs killing pigeons.
Broad Haven
The Welsh seaside town has UFO sightings dating back to the 1970s.
Little silver men were even reported once.
Tourists can go on UFO tours of the town.
Staffordshire
Staffordshire makes the list because hundreds of residents reported seeing UFOs in 2015.
Unidentified objects spotted in an area called Cannock Chase also include reports of Big Foot and werewolves.
Fermi Paradox – what is it?
Here's what you need to know...
- The Fermi Paradox isn’t strict evidence for alien life – but more of a thought experiment
- It’s a famous contradiction posed by physicist Enrico Fermi
- Fermi suggested that the enormous size of the universe – and the billions of Sun-like stars in the galaxy, and their planets – makes it highly likely that there is intelligent life out there
- Some of these civilisations may have developed interstellar travel
- But Fermi also noted that there’s a significant lack of evidence for life on other planets
- The chances of aliens being able to reach us are high, but there’s no evidence that aliens ever have
- This paradox has baffled scientists for decades
