Andrew Wilson (58) believes he saw the unidentified flying object when he was looking out of his living-room window at Letham Avenue on Friday night [Aug 3].
Mr Wilson, who is unemployed and on disability allowance, claims it was moving across the sky above the houses in his street, "It was a small thing and it was travelling fast but there was no sound from it."
Mr Wilson maintained it was not the moon he observed as he saw it in another part of the sky.
A member of the RSPB and a keen birdwatcher, Mr Wilson owns a book on astronomy and often watches the night sky, "I like the stars, they’re beautiful," he added.
It was, perhaps, this hobby that allowed him to witness another UFO in 1971, "It was right above me. It had a red dome on it, and a flashing light."
Unfortunately, as he had nobody to corroborate his tale the experience was not investigated.
However, on this occasion Mr Wilson has two witnesses (both of whom were unwilling to speak about their experience) who also saw the object.
At first, according to Mr Wilson, they believed it to be an aircraft of some kind but after seeing his pictures [not included in the online story G-fs] they have changed their opinion.
Firm in his belief that what he saw was an UFO, Mr Wilson has handed the matter over to the authorities, "I have phoned RAF Leuchars and they said they would get in touch with the Ministry of Defence about the photographs," he added.

"The best photographs of a UFO ever taken" have been snapped by a Leven man from outside his home, he claims.
