Woman claims to have filmed UFO Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire
The strange sighting which the Ritchie family claim is proof of a UFO. Morag Ritchie, 50, from Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, was stunned when she woke suddenly in the middle of the night to be greeted by flashing lights in the sky above her home. Morag ran through the house to wake her family up before her daughter's fiancee, Scott Bower, caught the images on video.

Scenes from Banff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Banff is a town in the Banff and Buchan area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Banff is situated on Banff Bay and faces the town of Macduff across the estuary of the River Deveron. Banff is a former burgh, and until 1975 was the county town of Banffshire.
Banff's first castle was built to repel Viking invaders and a charter of 1163 AD shows that Malcolm IV was living there at that time. During this period the town was a busy trading centre in the "free hanse" of Northern Scottish burghs, despite not having its own harbour until 1775. The first recorded Sheriff of Banff was Richard de Strathewan in 1264, and in 1372 Royal Burgh status was conferred by King Robert II. By the 15th century Banff was one of three principal towns exporting salmon to the continent of Europe, along with Aberdeen and Montrose.
Banff and Macduff are separated by the valley of the River Deveron. This unpredictable river was finally tamed by the seven arched bridge completed in 1779[5] by John Smeaton. An earlier bridge had been built in 1765, but was swept away in 1768. The old ferry was brought back into use, until it was lost in a flood in 1773.

Business Description
Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this popular hotel, which was established in 1900 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 2009. The hotel is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to emigrate. The business trades all year round and generates a turnover in the region of £230,000 per annum with a gross profit of 65%. The Commercial Hotel is a traditional hotel with a bar, full restaurant services and function suite used for weddings, live music and other events. We feel the turnover could be further increased by expanding the range of food available and perhaps embarking on a modest advertising campaign. The business is renowned for providing a high quality service and accommodation and won the 'Best Bar None' gold award in 2010. The Commercial Hotel is the only pub in the village and for 6 miles around, and enjoys much repeat trade from the local community. It also hosts biker clubs, pensioner meetings and has its own darts team. There is a website in place advertising services and accommodation provided, which we feel would benefit from online booking facilities. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade with a large bar area, spacious lounge and commercial kitchen. There are also 5-letting rooms, which have been fitted and finished to a high standard throughout. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already popular hotel with huge scope for future growth.

UFO hovers above house in rural Scotland for 4hrs - Aberdeenshire January 2013
London, Oct 19 2012
A family from Scotland has claimed that a UFO spent four hours hovering above their rural home in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire on Saturday.
Morag Ritchie, 50, said that she was woken up in the middle of the night by flashing lights in the sky.
The grandmother-of-one woke her family up and her daughter's fiance captured the images of four blinking lights on video.
"We live in a very rural area so I never have my curtains closed and I like looking at the night sky," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.
"I just woke up all of a sudden and looked out of the window to see all these twinkling lights - they looked like they were moving.
"I was quite apprehensive about it. I'm standing there looking at it and I'm thinking 'is it watching me?' so I went around the house telling everyone and they all came to have a look," she said.
Ritchie said that she saw a circular object hovering and spinning around.
"Eventually we all went back to bed. I woke up a further two times, the second time was about four hours later and it was still there, but when I next woke up it was daylight and they had gone.
Ritchie's daughter, Cara, 27, had got out up to feed her baby at 3 am on Saturday night when she first heard about the sighting.
"I was quite mesmerised by it all to be honest although my fiance Scott, was pretty scared," Cara said.
"He was smoking at the back door where you could see the lights from and he was genuinely frightened, he kept the door half open so he wasn't actually fully outside," she said.
UFO expert Malcolm Robinson admitted that he was baffled by the footage that Scott captured.
"I've looked at the footage and there appears to be four lights in a line intermittently flashing which could be anything.
"But it's strange. Many suspected UFO sightings are actually Chinese lanterns, but it's not them this time - no way.
"It's very interesting to a researcher like me but at the moment we won't have any answers for a couple of weeks at least when I find out if there were any other sightings or aircraft in the area at the time," he said.
Civil Aviation Authority spokesman Tony Finnegan said, "It could be a light aircraft or military aircraft, but at 2am in the morning, it's unlikely to be civilian.
"We aren't able to find out what aircraft were in the area at the time, but there was increased activity of northern lights last week, so I suppose they would be a possibility," he added.
