Description

Time: 2000
Location: A7 south of Edinburgh

This happened about 25 years ago and I still think about it to this day. I was about 14 and I was with my mum driving near Edinburgh on the A7. It was dark and we had reached a section of the road that is rural, quite high and flat. We were both sitting in silence when I saw a flat black object above the windscreen just hovering over the car. It was rectangular maybe slightly less wide than the car. It didn’t seem to have any lights but I could see it from the car lights and whatever light was from the sky outside. It hovered over the car moving the same speed as the car in the same position for maybe for about 15 seconds then disappeared. It was maybe about 2 foot above the car so really close. My mum and I were in silence the whole time this was happening but as soon as it disappeared I asked my mum if she had seen it. She said yes. I asked her what it was and she said she didn’t know and she kept driving.

I don’t have a clue what it was. I know I wasn’t imagining it because my mum saw it too and she was a logical thinking sceptic which makes it weirder. There is nothing I know of that would explain this except maybe it was something military and they were flying it over a deserted moorland at night. The photo I attached is the closest I have been able to find that looks like it.

I’m now nearly 40 and I still have no explanation for this. I’ve never experience anything like that since or seen anything that was so obviously a UFO. I was just thinking about it this morning so I thought I’d share on here. I wouldn’t say I’m a UFO enthusiast but I am open minded.

Has there been any similar sightings?
