1968
An investigator in the early 1990s from BUFORA put an advert in a local paper calling for witnesses. Several came forward. One witness surprisingly turned out to be a friend of my mother’s who had seen with her whole family a classic “flying saucer” near Cammachmore in 1968. This was three years earlier than my era. The witness was a schoolteacher who now lives in Newtonhill. She is a reliable witness who was very reluctant to come forward. In fact she only mentioned it to my mother because she had previously brought up the topic concerning my interest. Her father could not believe his eyes as he had always been very sceptical of such things.
