UFO Case Files of Scotland (Amazing Real Life Alien Encounters)
The subject of UFOs has been hotly debated. Are UFOs space vehicles from another world? Are they top-secret military aircraft of some kind? Or are they simply a figment of our imagination? If we are totally honest none of us really know for sure, but one thing we can say with complete accuracy is that whatever UFOs are, they do not respect any international boundary or border. UFO sightings have been made on every continent on earth and quite probably in every single country as well. Malcolm Robinson is a UFO & Paranormal Researcher with over 30 year’s expertise and has had `hands on’ experience with each of the cases contained in this book. Malcolm has lectured extensively on UFOs and the Paranormal all over the UK and Ireland and was the first Scot to lecture on American soil in Laughlin Nevada in 2009. Malcolm has appeared regularly on TV both here in the UK and all over the world and has assisted newspapers and radio stations with information on UFOs and the Paranormal. The full story regarding the wave of UFO sightings over the town of Bonnybridge is given here, as is the full story of Scotland’s first `reported’ UFO abduction. Other close encounter cases are also looked at in great detail. In the publication of Malcolm Robinson’s first book, he looks to enlighten you with the most fascinating UFO cases that Scotland has to offer. This work is not meant to be definitive, instead it is Malcolm’s own reflection on his research and thoughts on what represents to be Scotland’s most intriguing and unexplained UFO cases. This is an epic book, a book that clearly shows that Scotland as a country has been touched by the UFO presence. This book will leave you with little doubt that mankind is dealing with a very real and bona fide phenomenon, as the witnesses in this book can clearly testify to.
