Top Scots UFO site in Roswell tie
THE UFO capital of Scotland will take a step closer to twinning with Roswell next month when a colourful councillor jets off to meet the mayor of the New Mexico town.
Billy Buchanan is due to meet Bill B Owen Mayor of Roswell - where an ‘alien craft’ crash-landed in 1947 - to discuss the otherworldly twinning plan with Bonnybridge.
The Stirlingshire town held its first skywatch yesterday when hundreds of UFO spotters scoured the skies for evidence of extra-terrestrials.
Scotland tops the world league for UFO sightings by geographical area with four times as many as Italy and France, which came joint second in the table. And the country tops a second league table based on sightings per head of population, beating Canada into second place.
Yesterday, Buchanan, who has a dozen sightings of his own to his credit, said: "It will be a great day for Bonnybridge and put it firmly on the map.
"There are a lot of disbelievers but they cannot find explanations for all the sightings."
