For discussion of everything rum and uncanny, from cryptozoology (mysterious or out-of-place animals), UFOs, high strangeness, etc. Following in the footsteps of Charles Fort and all those inspired by him, like the field of anomalistics.

As this community is on Feddit.uk it takes a British approach to things but it needn't be restricted to the UK - if it's weird and unusual it probably has a home here.

"A man has been left stunned after snapping a UFO in Scotland. The picture, which shows what appears to be strange lights, was taken on Friday night.

Gearóid, who often photographs the Aurora Borealis, had gone in search of the northern lights and headed to Coatbridge's St. Ambrose High School.

At around 9.30pm, he went to the football pitch at the North Lanarkshire school with his tripod and dog and took more than 100 images of the night sky.

He then returned home to see if he was successful. On closer inspection, Gearóid spotted what appeared to be a cluster of red and white lights streaking across the sky in several images, Glasgow Live reports.

He immediately posted on social media about the mystery. He said: "I go out most nights with my Canon Camera and tripod with my dog about 9.30pm down the park from my house when I think the Aurora Borealis can be seen.

"That night I took over 100 photos of the sky. When I got home I looked at them on my PC and saw this photo. I said to myself I don't remember seeing that when I took the photo..."

I know right? I'm just posting this for it's entertainment value 😁 Maybe I should've posted it in 'And Finally...'!

Lemmy leans towards leftie tech nerds and it tends to be a little overly... rational. So a lot of the posts here get downvoted. I will convert them all eventually.
