OK, now forth attempt at replying!!!!!! :x

My mum and aunt both saw these lights at 9.30 pm over the Rutherglen area.

We accept that there must be a reasonable explanation, I suggested Cold Play at Hampden, but there was no obvious beams you would get from lasers. I suggested Chinese Lanterns, but there were too high in the sky. The works at Paisley is doubtful in the Rutherglen. Someone must know what this was and for sanitys sake, please can anyone shed any light.

I also think that Marlon is owed a big apology for the comments in this thread, she saw something that she could not explain, and asked if anyone had the answer. It is now obvious that other people saw something too.

Afternoon,

i was driving along Barrhead road in pollok at about half nine last night and observed this strange sight too, firstly thought it was kids with torches playing funny buggers but there were no light trails to be seen and the discs of light were covering too great a distance for this to be the case, truly strange sight and hopefully a logical explanation. a few work colleagues seen it also, suggested a film crew were maybe in town, anyone any ideas?

there were aboout between 7 and ten discs of light moving along the cloud base and chasing each other, when i got in to work they had vanished.

'please mind the gap, when alighting from this train'
'this train is for springburn'

Yes moderator, if you put Lights Sky Glasgow into Google, you are the first link that appears so it is highly likely that people with click on this as I did, and leave comments.


Thought you would be pleased to have more members. Perhaps you should moderate the messages with foul language, and that are personally insulting people?

Mmmmmmm maybe thats because i was nightshift and didnt finish till the morning,searched on google for what i had seen and would you believe it this thread on the forum was found! Ive never heard of this forum before and wouldnt be on here if it was not for the thread on google,so well done in noticing were mainly all new members 8O

I am just explaining what i seen.

The area that i seen the lights (Pollok) i know geographicly very well, with no apparent explanation HENCE why i searched on the internet for similar sightings etc.. im not here to start a rumour mill but it was odd.

It was probably something to do with that.


Toaster, were these lights at the M74 works moving after each other or were they stationary temporary lights that didnt move? And also did they show a beam from the source of where the light was, as these lights didnt have a beam or a trail of light from them..

I saw these lights too, in Giffnock at about 9.30ish

Looked like a bunch of folk playing with big torches

The missus thought I was out my nut when I told her, then she saw them for herself

I'd go for the motorway explaination - at night, distance and direction are very difficult to gauge accurately - hence I am always late back from the pub.

BTW - welcome to HG all you new types - sincerely hope you stick around.


Oh hang on - If the Coldplay gig is tonight, can you pop out and see if the lights are back ? Get the camera out.

/care

now adding something else to the boards many fine threads would maybe increase the welcome rather than Ive only joined to add this, not even a hullo my name is etc etc just straight in there and you wonder why folk get suspicious.

Have you also posted to the other google search results? such as

HERE and since really you are alluding to a UFO maybe HERE. They may be a better place to start since most people on here are either online a lot or have their heads stuck in a book - it's an architectural/historical/geek site after all.

Now either put together some sort of constructive argument, complain by pm to Sharon about moderating standards on the board, or shut up. It's easy.

A wonderful reply...very constructive indeed.
