Location: Fort William (UK/Scotland), , United Kingdom

UFO exploded in the West Highlands of Scotland..

Photographing Hale-Bop comet with great success with long counted exposure. The result from that evenings photography with good results. During one session while I had the camera shutter open I heard a low humming sound followed by a flash of light, soon after a sound like a large shotgun being fired. Unlike meteorites there was no after glow trail. From my point I could see a faint orange glow like that of red hot metal. The shape was like those V1 rocket of Germany used in world war two. If you need proof then I have it on film.



NUFORC Note:

Date is approximate. Witness seems to indicate October 1997, but Hale-Bopp was first visible in the northern hemisphere, we believe, in March 1997. Perhaps it was visible again later that year. ?? PD
