Triangle over Peterhead (UK/Scotland) · United Kingdom

The report, as filed

At 08:45 am on January 21st, 2020, I was called to the back of a property I was working at, to look at an unidentified object in the eastern sky over the North Sea. The witness with me, pointed to the sky and asked me what I saw, and amazingly something was coming down fast with a chemical trail of 4 lanes coming from the back of the object. He handed me the binoculars he'd gotten from his garage, and asked me to look closer, and I was shocked to see a hole punched through the blue sky, and 3 tissue like type white objects hanging in the sky followed by a huge 4 lane type chemical trail going into what I can only describe as 1 burgundy in colour smoke trail... coming out of a triangular object. We passed the binoculars back and forth to each other as this object looked to be coming down fast in the direction of the North Sea -- off the coast of Peterhead to Aberdeen, Scotland. I attempted to see what the unidentified object leaving this chemical trail was; but only could see a four lane white and 1 burgundy smoke trail and this came out the back of something triangular... however the object was engulf in white smoke. The object continu! ed in a downward decent then went behind the cloud line. The hole punched in the blue sky took approximately 10 mins to dissipate. As did the 3 tissue like objects, and chemical trail. When I went back inside to get my coat and leave my work there, the sky was clear again, and the sun rising above the cloud line. I have no idea what I was seeing but never have I seen a chemical trail like that or a hole punched in the blue sky... or a burgundy coloured type chemical trail coming out of any planes that fly over our town since I moved here in 1996.
