Huttonian could not resist this letter from today's Berwickshire -0n line version:
QUOTE, - On July 8, 2005, my wife and I were driving in Berwickshire. The time was roughly 23.20hrs when our car lit up with a light so intense I wondered what on earth could be generating such a beam.
It appeared on our left hand side radiating through the trees, the intense light dimmed to reveal a UFO, hovering around tree height, directly ahead of us, no more than 100 metres away.
As I stopped my vehicle the UFO moved off towards us, moving slow at a constant speed as it approached us. I thought it was strange the lack of any noise, but a dull drone could be heard when almost overhead.
Just then a vehicle’s lights appeared in my mirror so I moved off and pulled in only seconds later, to observe the UFO dip over the treeline (could the driver of that vehicle please contact me on 018907 52043, a single male driving north on the A1823 between 23.00-23.30).
After witnessing this phenomena my wife and I experienced health problems, including extreme fatigue and obvious eye trauma. A photograph was taken but unfortunately only shows three distant lights against a black backround.
We would appreciate it if anybody has experienced any kind of UFO phenomena to contact:TheBordersUFOs@aol.com.
NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED Un QUOTE
So this ufo joins the other great local mysterious sightings including the elusive Hutton panther.
But I wonder, more prosiacally. if this can be the Laird's new all singing, all dancing, over head cable severing Harvester which plunged us into the dark ages a few days ago. (see previous rant and letter from the Laird on the village notice boards). Mind you the site is not near Paxton but it could be a close relation. THe gismo is big and the bright light could be a search light mechanism to ensure that when it has a mind to cut overhead cables it doesn't miss its target.
Hutton Think Tank is on the case.
Or is it still 1 April in the Merse?
