Templar Lodge Hotel
|
Scotland has recently been a
hotbed of
UFO activity, and a Japanese TV crew is now saying that
they have taped UFOs hovering over a hotel in an area
deeply connected to the Knight?s Templar, using an automatic
camera. UFO activity in and around the area near Edinburgh
has increased dramatically in recent years.
The Japanese crew came to Scotland after Japanese tourists
observed UFOs over a golf course in the area, and persuaded
a Japanese television network to investigate. The Japanse
set up an automatic camera on the roof of
Gullane's Templar
Lodge Hotel
In 1994, a local resident obtained a metal fragment believed
to have come from a UFO. It was analyzed at the National
Museum of Scotland and found to have been machined. But
the museum concluded that it was ?no known metal.?
During the summer of 2000, an American golfer who observed
strange lights hovering over a course in the area collected a
piece of very unusual fabric. "It very weird, like the softest
kid leather but with spores that come out when you tap it.
It? s like nothing I?ve ever seen," said hotelkeeper Stephen
Prior. It is due for analysis.
Ron Halliday, chair of the Scottish Earth Mysteries
organization, says "skeptics cannot continue to scoff after
this. The Japanese film will silence many critics. It may be
proof that aliens are targeting Scotland for a landing."
However, it should be noted that the area over Berwick Law
and Traprain Law where many sightings are now taking place
have exhibited such lights for hundreds of years. There has
been speculation that they represent a piezoelectric effect
due to heating and cooling of the granite that underlies the
area. However, there is no known piezoelectric effect that
induces long-duration plasmas, or even that such plasmas
could persist for more than a few seconds, or fly through the
sky at altitude.
Mr. Halliday says that he often gets reports of sightings from
the ?Scottish Triangle? between Edinburgh, Stirling and East
Kilbride.
Templar Lodge manager Stephen Prior says, ?I'm a skeptic
about these things, but we'll see.?
