Edinburgh man in chance sighting of 'UFO' over Arthur's Seat during filming

Do you ever lie awake at night and wonder if we are the only intelligent life forms in the universe?

Well one man, an Edinburgh vlogger, may have answered that question through sharing a video with what he believes to be an alien spacecraft travelling behind him as he tries to shoot footage on what appears to be the Braid Road.

BigFoot Digger posted the video to his followers on TikTok and Youtube and asked the question to us all - are there aliens in the skies above Scotland’s capital?

Now, we hear you say it is most likely a plane taking off from Edinburgh airport, and you are most probably right but BigFoot Digger says: “While filming my Garrett Ace 250 Giveaway video in Edinburgh a UFO flew across the sky.

“Just above Arthurs seat in the distance a UFO can be seen flying behind me as I talk about the Garrett Giveaway.

“I checked on the day and there was no air traffic leaving the airport, any flights were in an inbound direction, plus the object is too high for just leaving the airport.

“If it was a plane you would see the wings at least, there's always weird things in the sky at Bathgate and Boghall.

“Thanks for watching, there's other strange stuff on my strange and bizarre playlist, stay safe and well through these rough times.”

BigFoot Digger was filming a Garret Ace 250 giveaway video at the time that the film was recorded, when “something bizarre happened” and an “unusual occurrence took place” in the sky above him.

He said that a strange light travelled behind him, just above the Crags by Arthur Seat.

He only noticed the strange light when editing his videos at home and began exploring the potential phenomenon.

The vlogger shows viewers the footage as it was originally filmed before showing the video twice more - once at 2x magnification and then again at 4x.

He asks: “Is it bizarre? Or am I just imagining it? I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions.

“Let me know what you think in the comments below.”

The video was originally shared in 2018 and was viewed almost 3,000 times but was reposted to TikTok on Thursday June 9.
