UFOs spotted over Edinburgh
Spotted about half an hour ago, heading North. Looked like they were slightly West of the city but hard to tell from here.
Looked like 4 or 5 in tight formation... nothing on Flightradar24
(click for full resolution, although it was zoomed in with a crappy digital zoom on a phone camera...)
Anyone got any ideas?

Re: UFOs spotted over Edinburgh
Plenty of aircraft don't show up on flightradar24, usually because they are only transmitting callsign and altitude, not location. Running ADSB Sharp and VirtualRadar with a cheap RTL SDR dongle I can see them listed but obviously don't know where they are, only that they are within reception range of me. Flying in formation like that, it was probably the RAF.

Swamp gas?
Most likely RAF planes, lots of times planes dont show on FlighRadar247 due to security measures.

Haha, yes I figured it was either RAF or swamp gas...
Did a hurried Google earlier but didn't turn anything up at all.

Re: UFOs spotted over Edinburgh
A couple of WAH64's were sighted heading North that day too,,per chance could it be them from a distance?

Re: UFOs spotted over Edinburgh
Hmm... hard to say. One of the contrails kept stopping and starting, I actually wondered if it might be a meteorshite breaking up when I first saw it, but after watching for a minute or two it was obvious that it was not.

one night me, my supervisor and the young people we are with where out side of the youth centre watching them, I can remember they acted in away we can not explain or in a way that know aircrafts act.
it was about the time we where seeing thing daily and weekly.
when you see thing you can not explain or act in away you know it should it interesting trying to work it out.
singing was in the north east Midlands.
