Mum baffled by 'UFO' over Glasgow sky as 'glowing ring' spotted from as far as Coatbridge

There have been reports of a "UFO" sighting above the sky in Glasgow, with one mum spotting the phenomenon from as far as Coatbridge.

Sabine Gilbert was left "flabbergasted" by what she witnessed just before 9pm on Thursday night. The 36-year-old mum caught a glimpse of something on her phone and opened the camera to see exactly what it was.

After stepping outside her home in the Kirkwood area, she vividly saw something in the distance but it was when she opened the Snapchat camera on her phone when her eyes lit up with excitement.

Sabine told Glasgow Live: "I thought, am I actually tripping and what’s happening? I was flabbergasted.

"It was like a circle orb thing and you could see it going together and meeting in the middle, turning into a bright ball. It was like a glowing ring and it kept happening. It was UFO-like I would say.

"In another clip, I am in the kitchen with no light on and the sky goes yellow on the camera, it looks like sunset. But outside, when I am looking through my window using my eyes it’s pitch black."

Locals in Glasgow also reported seeing the "strange" figure in the sky, however some thought it might have been a projection from a ride at Winterfest rather than an extra-terrestrial visit.

However, Sabine added: "This was different to stars in the sky and cosmic sightings. I’ve never seen anything like it and what I was capturing on the phone was different from what I was seeing with my own eyes.

"I am a big believer that there is something out there. I’d love to get an answer as to what it could be as it’s very interesting to see."
