'UFO' spotted in sky above Edinburgh leaving Scots teenager and pals stunned
Kyle, 16, was with his two friends in Midlothian when they spotted the mysterious floating object at around 11.10pm on Friday, June 6. A Scots teenager has been left stunned after spotting a 'UFO' in the sky near Edinburgh. Kyle Jackson, 16, was with his two friends in Midlothian when they spotted the mysterious floating object at around 11.10pm on Friday, June 6. The trio were walking near a school in the area when they looked up - and they couldn't believe their eyes at what they saw. A black object, which was round and 'completely silent', appeared to be moving quickly below the clouds. Kyle says the object was moving faster than a plane and had a red light beaming from beneath - and he's since been left stumped at what it could have been. Speaking to the Record, Kyle said: "Me and two other friends were walking up a path in the Midlothian area near Edinburgh next to the local high school when we all glanced up and seen the flying object. "At first sight a red/orange light was beaming from underneath the aircraft. "After around five seconds of us looking at it the light turned off. "It was travelling a lot faster than a plane at around the same height as a plane, it was also the same size as a plane or bigger." In footage shared with the Record the black object can be seen in the sky above a residential area. Kyle says he and his friends were left puzzled at what it could be - and they've now come to the conclusion that the only explanation is alien activity. He added: "All three of us felt shocked and in disbelief as we had never seen anything like it. "It was completely silent so it couldn't have been a plane, jet or helicopter. It also wasn't a drone as it was too big and was too fast. It was also clearly round as well. "The whole situation felt surreal, like something out of a movie. Even after I had got home I was still in awe - I was confused and in disbelief at what I had seen. "I did some research and couldn't find anything close to what we had seen. I even asked various members of my family and none of them could come to conclusion. "We believe it was a possible UFO. The videos don't do it any justice. I am not the type of person that believes in conspiracies but that was something different." What do you think the object was? Leave a comment below to let us know your thoughts.
