Footage of 'UFOs' captured in sky above Glasgow before objects 'head into orbit'

A Scots joiner has captured footage of two 'UFOs' in the skies above Glasgow which he claims then “went straight up into orbit simultaneously."

The man, who does not want to be named, said he was out working at the Dalmarnock Wastewater Treatment Works when his pal spotted the objects up above, just after 11:05am on Monday.

Speaking to the Record, he said: “I looked up and thought they were two drones hovering for about three minutes. We then realised there was a police helicopter which had stopped dead behind us.

"I’m not sure if it was just a coincidence that was there or not.

“After we stopped filming, the objects went straight up into orbit simultaneously. They did not shoot up but went up gradually. I’d stopped filming as I thought I’d better get on with work.

"It's very bizarre."

The video clip shows a darker object lower in the sky with flashes of light coming from it, while the higher object is white but also appears to shimmer at times.

The footage has been shared on social media but the man says no one has been able to confirm exactly what the objects are yet.

He also initially suspected they may have been helium balloons but reckons the objects were too big for that.
