This page will only log details of UFO sightings in the Glenrothes area.
These reports might not be in date order as I've a large number of reports to work through. Some UFO sightings might only have one witness and some may have over a hundred.

Details of Sighting -
I was just about to get in my car to drive the 10 miles or so to Glenrothes to collect my youngest daughter from her Girl Guides, when I saw something strange flying very low in the sky in the distance towards Glenrothes.
At first, I thought it was a passenger plane that was either about to crash or try to make an emergency landing at the Glenrothes Airport despite it only being for light aircraft.
I quickly ruled both of those out as whatever this object was it was way way bigger than any airplane.
As I drove towards Glenrothes to collect my daughter, I kept losing sight of the object as the turns in the road had me facing the other way.
When I arrived in the small car park next to the community centre where my daughter had her Girl Guide meetings, I noticed several of the other mums had gathered in a group. They were clearly watching the huge object and debating as to what it was.
I quickly joined the group and jokingly asked if anyone had taken its registration number, so I could report it for low and dangerous flying.
One of the other mums replied she had tried reporting it to the police via 999.
The emergency call handler had told her they have already received over 300 reports of a UFO over Glenrothes. The Call handler had asked her if she wanted to be added to the list of witnesses, she declined and hung up.
Now I knew, like me nobody thought this was an normal airplane, they like me thought this was a UFO.
One of the mums told the rest of the group that she going to go into the centre and explain to the Guide leaders what was going on and hopefully keep the girls inside until whatever it was had gone, as she didn’t want the girls to be alarmed.
Without any warning, the object flew off at great speed, I’m useless at directions so I can’t say where it was heading other than say it was heading in the opposite direction than Edinburgh.

Date of Sighting - 17th November 2022
Time of Sighting – 21.15 approx.
Location of Sighting – Asda Car Park, Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland.
Witness Name – Andrew Fairbairn
Statement -
I was packing my shopping I had just purchased from the Asda store into the boot of my car when I nearly had heart failure as this huge object flew over the McDonalds about 2000 yards to my left.
It was so low I thought it was about to crash into the McDonalds.
I noticed two people dive to the ground in the McDonalds car park, they must have been so scared.
I myself wasn’t cool calm and collected myself, I wasn’t sure what the object was and I’m still not sure. I do know I’ve never seen anything like it before.
It must have been at least ¼ of a mile in length by about 200ft in height.
It was circular with blue lights radiating from the centre of the object.
I don’t believe in paranormal, ghosts or UFO’s but if I was put on the spot to say what the object was, then I would have to say it was a UFO.
This object flew off towards the RWE power plant, which is just over the fence from the Asda, before hovering over the RWE site for about 20 minutes before flying of at a tremendous speed towards Dundee.

Date of Sighting - 17th November 2022
Time of Sighting – 21:10 approx.
Location of Sighting – Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland.
Name of Witness – Sarah Kay
Details of Sighting -
I was filling my car with petrol at the 24hr unmanned Asda fuel station when I noticed (I say noticed, it was impossible to not notice) an huge object flying very very low over the nearby McDonalds and over the Asda store.
I have never seen anything like this in my life.
I continued watching it as best I could but the weather canopy over the fuel pumps was blocking my view, so once it had flown over Asda I don’t know where it went.
The fact that I have contacted you on here, lets you know that I believe what I saw was a UFO.
===================================
Date – November 17th 2022
Time 21.10 approximately
Location – Outside the McDonald’s Glenrothes. Fife, Scotland.
Names Supplied and identities confirmed but asked not to be named.
I had just finished a McDonald’s with my long-time girlfriend Karen, we had just reached my car in the car park when both Karen and I felt the need to duck after seeing a huge object flying over us towards Markinch.
It was so low we thought it was going to crash into the McDonald’s we just left.
Karen was the first to speak, she looked petrified as she said “ come on let’s get out of here before whatever that was returns”.
I didn’t argue with her as I clicked the remote to open the doors to my Landover Freelander.
My hands were shaking as I struggled to get the key in the ignition. Karen asked me if I was ok, I was meant to ask her that, it’s a man’s job to protect his girlfriend after all.
We quickly drove the short distance home to the flat we shared.
Once safely inside, she sat on our sofa, poured herself a tall glass of gin before adding a small amount of Tonic water. She poured me a large whisky and added a couple of ice cubes before handing me it.
After she had almost downed her dink in one go, still trembling she asked me if I had ever seen anything like that before.
It still hadn’t fully registered with me as to what we had just seen.
I was sure of a couple of things –
1 – It was definitely not an aircraft as it was just too big for any airport to handle
2 – I had definitely never seen anything like it before.
3 – It scared the shit out of both Karen and I.
4 – With it being so big and flying so low, we couldn’t have been the only people to see it.
Once we both had finished our drinks in almost silence, we decided to check Facebook to see if it was alive with people talking about seeing what we had just seen.
Nothing !!!!
We could not believe our local community on Facebook hadn’t seen a thing or at least nobody was talking about seeing it.
We certainly didn’t imagine it.

Date of Sighting - 22nd November 2022
Time of Sighting – 23:00
Location of Sighting – Stagecoach Bus Depot, Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland.
Name of Witness – John Peller
Details of Sighting:
I arrived for my nightshift as a bus cleaning operative about 10pm, which is about half an hour early but that’s what time my bus gets me in at. I travel to work by bus rather than use my car as I get free bus travel as part of my job benefits, why pay for fuel if you don’t need too?
So, as I was passing time before starting work, I headed to the staff canteen for a brew.
I started chatting to Sandra who worked in the canteen. Sandra started telling me about a strange object that she had seen the previous night.
Sandra told me the object she had seen was several hundred feet long, circular with blue lights. She said it was hovering above the Power Station which is just over the fence from the bus station, for about half an hour.
She hadn’t told anyone else about seeing the object as she had just started taking a new medicine and thought hallucinations might be one of its side effects.
But she had checked with her doctor over the phone, and she was told that wasn’t a known side effect, that he knew about. When the Doctor asked what it was Sandra thought she has seen as she told the Doctor what she saw, the Doctor finished describing the object himself.
He told Sandra he had seen it too but hadn’t told anyone else until now.
I was still sceptical about what Sandra was telling me despite having known her since we were both at school, and that wasn’t yesterday.
As Sandra was telling me about seeing the strange object last night, the canteen windows began to rattle as the canteen was lit up with an extremely bright light.
Sandra told me this was how last night’s events had started.
Now I was starting to take more notice of what Sandra had been telling me – ok, I needed to see this for myself.
We both headed outside from the canteen, so we could get a better view of the object.
BLOODY HELL!!!!
Huge was an understatement, it was massive and just as Sandra had described it from last night.
It was just hovering about 150 ft above one of the cooling towers of the power station, just over the fence from the bus station. It remained there for about half an hour, until we could hear fighter jets from RAF Leuchars, near St. Andrews heading towards us.
Suddenly the object was just a speck in the distance, then it was gone. No noise, just a flash of bright light and it was gone.
The fighter jets arrived above the power station a few seconds later and circled the area for about 15 minutes at low altitude and speed, before they too quickly headed towards Edinburgh.
Sandra and I looked at each other and laughed, as we didn’t know what else to say or do.
Sandra spoke first and simply asked if I fancied a Hot Chocolate – on the house.
Since that night Sandra and I have become close, we both having lost our partners to cancer at about the same time.
Sandra stayed over at mine at Christmas and we have been getting on very well.
The UFO sighting we shared might be the start of a long term relationship.
I never thought I would be thanking aliens for setting me up with a girl.
