Scots couple spot ‘UFO’ flying above city while drawing the curtains at home

A Scots couple believe they have spotted a ‘UFO‘ flying above their home in Edinburgh.

Debra Croal had gone to draw her bedroom curtains at her property on Pleasance in the capital when she looked up into the sky and saw something odd on Tuesday night.

The 60-year-old whipped out her FZ1000 camera to take some pictures of what appeared to be a large white glowing circle, with what looks to be black inner rings.

Debra took a number of pictures – and she was left stunned to discover what looked like a “disc-like saucer” moving towards the bright light in one of the images.

Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Debra said: “I came through to shut my curtains in the bedroom and normally we do not see any stars on that side of the home due to light pollution.

“It was Tuesday at around 6 or 7pm. Something caught my eye. I looked up and thought, ‘What the hell is that?’ it is too big to be a star and it was just sitting there.

“At first I thought maybe it was a drone but I watched it for around five minutes before I decided to grab my FZ1000 camera to get a proper look.

“When I zoomed in it looked like an orb and was very round with a pattern on the bottom but it seemed to still.

“I finished looking at the pictures and after a while I noticed it was moving ever so slowly and when I looked at one of the other pictures I thought holy crap there is something else there.

“It looked like a saucer to the side of the main orb – it was almost disc-like travelling towards the bright light.

“It vanished behind a chimney pot and then we never saw it again.”

Debra says that she had never seen anything like it before in her life – but she is convinced she caught what looked like a flying saucer in the sky.

She has always had an interest in the extraterrestrial, adding: “UFOs have always been a fascination of mine. I’m in several communities on Facebook who discuss them and it is really interesting.

“You get some people who just rip it to shreds but I don’t care what anyone else thinks as I have my own thoughts that there must be some real accounts out there.

“You will always get your doubters and sceptics but there are those of us out there that truly believe we have seen something.

“For me it was the pattern on the bottom that was so shocking.”

In September 2021, we told how two baffled Glasgow lads were absolutely convinced they spotted a “portal in the sky” after a “UFO” appeared above the city.

Robert Hampston and his friend Jake Griffiths said a glowing floating object appeared above their heads at a flat in Merchant City.

The pair pictured a large white glowing circle, with what looks to be a black inner ring – much like the image Debra captured in Edinburgh this week.

On both occasions the object stayed in the sky for around an hour, before disappearing.
