Around March of 2016, a man known as John Macdonald claimed to have had an encounter with an alien space craft, to prove this, he allegedly snapped a photo of it:
I've only found one site claiming it to be genuine
This statement comes from an Alien and UFO research website that pushes for alien conspiracies and such, the process of verifying the images integrity is not detailed and the credentials of the "Experts" is not given which leads me to believe that the claim is bunk itself.
The credibility of the story relies on the credibility of the photo, and the photo looks like a generic flying saucer outline, which would not be difficult to create with the software available at the time.
What do you guys think?
According to John, the spacecraft was hovering 50 to 70 yards above ground, and it made a noise like a thousand vacuums. According to Macdonald it's certainly an alien spacecraft.It seems like this story did not get much coverage, I could only find an article from the Huff Post, The Daily Express, The Daily Mail, The Scotsman, Metro and The Mirror; it just seems to have been a story that came and went and was exclusively covered by clickbait Tabloid magazines as opposed to more credible sources. All the articles rehash the same details and all of them set up a straw man argument that sceptics will say it's a drone, and then quickly discredit that claim.
"It's definitely a space craft of some sort."
I find it odd how this straw man is set up, based on the shape, no one would think it's drone, it looks like a generic flying saucer outline. Instead of trying to figure out whats in the picture, the actual credibility of the picture should be put into question.
A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority said: “It’s possible to fly a drone in darkness, but you have to keep it in your line of sight at all times.
“If you are flying something in darkness it is difficult to keep it in your visual line of sight.
“Even though it has lights, you won’t be able to see it sufficiently well to control it.
“At night, you can’t see obstacles because the obstacles aren’t lit.
But John dismisses the idea that his experience was anything other than out of this world.
“I always thought there was something out there, but have never seen anything until now,” he added.
“There is no doubt in my mind. I know what I saw.”
Drone pilot, Jonathan Hall, from Southport says he is also convinced that the image is not a drone.
The keen amateur said: “I have no idea what it is but am pretty sure it’s not a drone craft.
“I have flown quite a lot at night and the size and shape of the lights look like no drone I have ever seen before.”

The image does not seem to have been tampered with according to our experts and Mr. Macdonald swears by what he saw. There were no other witnesses to the event as of yet.

The place where he heard/saw this was Rossie Ochil, Perthshire which seems to be a massive desolate farm field with only a small number of hotels.What do you guys think?
