THE truth is out there...

A string of UFO sightings have been reported across Fife, including several in Kirkcaldy, in recent weeks.

Since the middle of January six sightings have been reported on the ufosightingsuk website.

They include two bright lights travelling at exactly the same speed and distance apart above the Inverkeithing bypass at 8.43 p.m. on January 16, to an oval-shaped object with coloured rotating lights hovering over Comrie on January 29.

The following night a couple from Lochgelly, walking their dog, were amazed to see a bright light travelling at speed towards Kirkcaldy, making a whooshing noise.

Their 12-stone rottweiler guard dog started whimpering and lay down on the ground, and the object sat still for about a minute 100 feet from them before disappearing.

On January 31, at 8 p.m. a Kirkcaldy man looking out the window of his Seafield home saw five or six bright orange lights drifting down from the sky.

He described them as looking "like helicopters with bright lights" but they made no noise.

More appeared in the sky with flashing lights around them and formed what looked like a clock face with one bright light and others flashing around it.

On February 12 at 11.30 p.m. a witness and his girlfriend saw a light moving low over Kirkcaldy rooftops, very slowly. He thought it was a plane coming in to land but the light was too bright and was burning yellow.

He described it as looking like a star. "It was totally silent and passed overhead very slowly in a straight line, not moving up or down" and was followed by another bigger one.

"It didn't burn out and it wasn't falling, and we watched them heading towards Edinburgh about 100 feet above the houses."

And at the weekend, a Kirkcaldy resident was about to go to bed when they looked out of the window and saw fiery spheres travelling in an arc shape, before climbing and dissapearing. This happened three times.

The witness said: "I know it is the Chinese New Year, but if these were lanterns, they must make them remote controlled now, as the uniformity and path followed was perfect."
