2002 - Glasgow, Scotland. The photographer (or hoaxer) said he took a shot at about 22:00 in Glasgow, Asir, Scotland.

He said

"About 10 PM, 2 months ago, I looked out the window (actually I was looking for my cat that ran away behind the door) and saw this strange thing in the sky. I immediately grabbed my digital camera and filmed it.

"As soon as I took the picture, I turned around to show it to my girlfriend, and when I looked back, it was gone. There was no noise, just total silence.

PS the Photo is not a masterpiece, my hands trembled slightly."

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Kite

Tethered flying machine heavier than air. Supported in the air by wind pressure on a surface set at an angle to the direction of movement of the wind and held by the guard rails from the ground. The first mention of kites are found in the II century BC in China (the so-called snake-dragon). At the moment there are many shapes and designs of kites.

There are also kites, equipped with LEDs. The forms that emerge LEDs can be different: echoing the shape of the kite to Supplement his picture or absolutely independent. Color, frequency and sequence of blinking LEDs is varied.

Beetles and other insects

Flying insects in photos and videos can be mistaken for UFOs.

Shooting can take place in the daytime or in the evening. When moving, the outlines of the insect can be both blurred and clear. Depending on this, dark spots or spots of bizarre shapes can be taken for UFOs. The video shows UFOs hovering in the sky, flying in a straight line or moving along a complex trajectory (for example, shooting May bugs near a tree against the background of the evening sky). Insects can be mistaken for UFOs by accident, or given out intentionally. At night, they can be highlighted by a flash.

Deliberate falsification

This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.

There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.

Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.
