I was closing my living room blinds when I saw a bright light in the sky.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I watched it for around 30 minutes, I was memorised. With my naked eye it looked triangular with pointed wings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I took a video and photo and it was circular. I sat down and watched tv to take my mind of it and 30 mins later I looked and it was still there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I took another video and decided to report it. I&#8217;ve seen three UFO&#8217;s over the years but this one was erratic for over an hour.<\/p>\n<p><b>Join<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/DBFongo3zQS6P8RfPA1ryO\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Edinburgh Live&#039;s Whatsapp Community here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"> <b>Edinburgh Live&#8217;s Whatsapp Community here <\/b><\/a><b><b>and get the latest news sent straight to your messages<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First UFO was 1976 at Gypsy Brae.
