A UFO enthusiast shared some footage of what he claimed to be a UFO sighting in Scotland. The footage showed the alleged UFO as it was hovering, but suddenly vanished.

Self-titled UFO expert Scott Waring shared a video of a UFO flying above trees in Airdrie, a town in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. He said the video was posted on YouTube by a “reliable UFO expert” with a YouTube account named “The Hidden Underbelly 2.0.” Waring shared the video on the ET Database.

The video showed something dark colored hovering in the sky above the trees near a house where the person holding the camera was. Waring said that according to an eyewitness, the flying object was first spotted by a four-year-old girl, followed by her father who, after a few moments, “realised that this was a UFO.”

Soon, the “UFO” moved slowly towards the trees, but before it could actually hide from plain sight behind the foliage, it suddenly vanished. A man, likely the girl’s father, could be heard saying “it just disappeared.”

The eyewitness said “the craft engaging it's ‘Cloaking technology’ because the UFO didn't fly out of view, it simply vanished.” It did vanish into thin air, and was nowhere to be found after that.

Similar looking

The “sighting” looks similar to another one spotted in Argentina. According to reports, a couple from Buenos Aires were on a visit to Salta in Argentina. While they were on their way to visit a town named Cachi, they decided to take photos of the scenic views along the road.

When they returned to their hotel, they transferred the photos to their computer. As they reviewed the photos, they were surprised to see a UFO flying in mid-air near the road they were driving on. The couple said they didn’t see anything of the sort while they were driving, and are puzzled as to why it was there in the photo.

Fake?

With today’s technology and a bit of acting, “sightings” like these can be easily faked. A video from 2018, for example, showed how computer-generated UFOs can look real when they are caught on video, and accompanied by sound.

A YouTube video posted by YouTuber SECTION 51 2.0 titled “Ring-shaped UFOS in ICELAND (CGI)” showed two huge ring-shaped UFOs flying off the coast of southern Iceland. They are “caught on camera” by a woman who was making sounds like she was terrified.

Despite the YouTuber’s honesty in saying the video featured CGI, some viewers still believed the video and thought that the UFOs featured were real because of the woman’s “petrified” voice.
