Still, it's difficult to ignore the parallels. According to Scotsman.com Heritage & Culture, "Last year reports released by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) revealed that West Kilbride [Scotland] had the highest number of recorded sightings of flying saucers in Britain during 2004. A total of 12 sightings were made in the village, which makes it Britain's closest rival to the UFO capital of Roswell, New Mexico.

"...Scotland has more sightings of UFOs proportionate to its population than anywhere else in the world. It's true that many times people mistake natural phenomena for strange things and usually there is an explanation. But some reports are harder to explain, especially the close up ones and increasingly people are capturing things on video or camera. There is no doubt in my mind that some things can’t be explained away."
Of course, the Scots drink a lot of whiskey. I'm sure that has absolutely nothing to do with it.
