A paranormal investigator who has written a string of books on UFOs has called for the UK government to launch a formal probe into UFO activity over Scotland after Pentagon disclosures
A paranormal researcher has demanded a Government investigation into UFO activity across Scotland.
Malcolm Robinson, who has written numerous books on the topic, has spent years lobbying UK officials to declassify files on ‘unusual aerial objects’ following a series of bizarre incidents in the Stirlingshire and Bonnybridge regions.
Malcolm argued that while US officials are declassifying documents and conducting hearings recognising strange objects in their airspace, British authorities must follow suit.
Along with Bonnybridge councillor Billy Buchanan, he has attempted to convince multiple former Prime Ministers to launch an official investigation into mysterious sightings throughout Scotland – previously regarded as the world’s UFO capital.
Malcolm said: “Over the past several years, the United States Government, NASA, and the Pentagon have released numerous documents, reports, and video footage relating to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), more commonly known as UFOs. These disclosures have generated worldwide headlines and have demonstrated that the American authorities acknowledge the existence of incursions into their airspace by objects that remain unexplained.
“Congressional hearings have been held in Washington, attended by current and former military personnel, intelligence officials, and representatives from the United States Air Force, Navy, and Army. Many of these witnesses have testified under oath regarding encounters with unusual aerial objects displaying characteristics beyond conventional explanation.”, reports the Daily Record.
“Here in Scotland, Bonnybridge Councillor Billy Buchanan and I have dedicated numerous years pushing for increased openness concerning UFO encounters, especially those documented in the Stirlingshire and Bonnybridge regions. Our objective has remained straightforward: to urge the British Government to launch an official investigation into UFO activity above Scotland. Regrettably, our appeals have repeatedly been greeted with disregard.
“The official position of the British Government has long been that, because these reported objects are not considered a direct threat to the defence of the United Kingdom, there is no justification for launching a dedicated investigation.
“If the United States Government is prepared to acknowledge unexplained incursions into its airspace and provide evidence to the public, why does the British Government continue to dismiss calls for greater transparency? Why is Westminster unwilling to examine a subject that has attracted serious attention from our closest ally?
“We believe the British public deserves answers. The time has come for the UK Government to follow the example set by the United States and undertake a thorough, open, and independent review of reported UFO activity within British airspace.”
Three decades ago, Scotland was regarded as the world’s hotspot for UFO encounters.
During the 1990s, a wave of sightings involving mysterious objects across central Scotland became known as the Falkirk Triangle, drawing reporters from across the planet. Worried residents organised a public gathering in January 1993.
Footage, images and testimonies kept surfacing, though the phenomenon faced claims of hoaxing. Malcolm has examined reports with the councillor, pursuing leads and cross-referencing aviation, police and military files.
He said: “For many years, both Councillor Buchanan and I have faced ridicule for raising concerns about the large number of UFO sightings reported over Bonnybridge and other parts of Scotland. However, recent developments in the United States, including official acknowledgements from the Pentagon and NASA that unexplained aerial phenomena warrant serious investigation, have strengthened our conviction that these reports should not be dismissed out of hand.
“While many questions remain unanswered, it is now clear that governments around the world are increasingly willing to recognise that unusual and unexplained activity is occurring in our skies. In that respect, both Billy and I feel a sense of vindication in having consistently called for this issue to be taken seriously.
“We call upon the British Government to adopt a policy of openness and transparency regarding UFO and UAP reports. We urge ministers to release all relevant files, reports, and footage that can safely be made public and to establish an independent inquiry into sightings across the United Kingdom.
“The British people deserve to be informed about matters that affect their airspace and national security. Transparency fosters public trust, encourages informed debate, and demonstrates a willingness to confront challenging questions rather than ignore them.
“The United States has begun that process. It is now time for the United Kingdom to do the same.”
