*UFO SEEN AT BRIDGE OF DON*

 A Mystery object has been sighted flying across the night sky above
 Aberdeen. Photo sales assistant Anne Marnie (42) was left rubbing her
 eyes in disbelief after her early morning close encounter. She had gone
 to her door at 3am to get one of her cats when she saw a bright, white
 band of vapour in the sky above her Bridge of Don home. Stunned Anne,
 Forvie Cresent, traced the vapour to it's source - a craft with two or
 three lights which was travelling at speed. She said: "I couldn't
 identify it.  It wasn't a plane or helicopter.  It also made a deep noise
 which didn't sound like a plane. "I looked away for a few seconds, then
 when I looked back it had disappeared.  I can't describe or explain what
 it was so to me it was an Unidentified Flying Object." Anne's experience
 is the latest in a series of strange sightings in the North-east,
 including reports of a huge luminous cloud reported at Muchalls last
 year. A brother and sister claimed to have seen white lights, moving
 within it, going left and right, on and of.  The latest sighting is
 unlikely to have been a plane landing at or leaving Aberdeen as the city
 airport closes at 10.30pm. City aviation expert Jim Ferguson says the
 object may have been a large plane flying across the North east en-route
 to another country. A vapour trail could be seen on a clear night if the
 moon was bright, he said. "In situations like this it could have been
 something like a 747 Jumbo flying at high levels between the Low
 Countries and the US," said Mr. Ferguson. A spokesman for the Civil
 Aviation Authority couldn't say whether a civilian aircraft would have
 been flying over the city at the time of the sighting. The Ministry of
 Defence says many reports of alleged UFO sightings are also proved to be
 natural phenomena. What do you think?  Write to the Evening Express,
