The GRANGEMOUTH electric ufo - by Paul E Potter
Amazing UFO Photograph - taken from an article called "UFOs In Scotland" from Malcolm Robinson © SPI (Strange Phenomena Investigations) England.
"UFO testimony is one thing, but when you receive testimony backed up with a quite spectacular UFO photograph, well that's another matter. We at SPI received quite an amazing UFO photograph which was unlike anything we have ever seen before.
It was on 12th November 1991, at around 9.30pm, that friends Phil Trevis (previously known as Peter Muir, a pseudonym used in previous SPI accounts) and Paul Penman (pseudonym) were out taking photographs for a project called 'Light and Dark'. The following is the written testimony by Phil Trevis, as given to SPI.
"My friend and I were taking photographs of the BP chemicals plant in Grangemouth (from Polmont Reservoir) when we noticed a dim, or rather, two small dim flashing lights over by the two 'flashing pylons' at Kincardine Bridge. We watched the object, which we thought was a helicopter, fly slowly over from the bridge to above the brightly lit Grangemouth Stadium. We watched it hover for around five minutes. It was then that we noticed that the 'craft' wasn't making any noise. Normally, if it was a helicopter, we would have heard the blades. It then turned around and faced our direction.
"It was roughly 2,000 feet above the ground, then it dipped and increased dramatically in speed. At the point of the photograph, it was about 200 to 300 feet directly above us. It was then that we heard the light 'pulsing hum' of the object. My friend and I were quite shaken at the time, but afterwards had an overwhelming sense of excitement."
SPI conducted the usual lines of investigative enquiry to try and get to the bottom of this incident. We ascertained that there was no aircraft activity in that part of central Scotland that night. Letters to the British Petroleum plant at Grangemouth, asking them if they had any small light aircraft or microlights in operation above their complex that night (on pipe inspection duty) came back stating that no such light aircraft or micro-lights were flying above the plant that night. (The BP plant at Grangemouth is in controlled airspace; only special authorization can be given for overflights of this highly explosive complex.)
Indeed such was the closeness of this object that Phil Trevis had to bend over backwards to take his photograph, and so what you are actually looking at is the underside of the object - concave, with numerous bright flashing lights being thrown out into the dark night sky, which creates a sort of halo effect. The object is consistent with what was being sighted above and around the small town of Bonnybridge in Stirlingshire, central Scotland; the town of Bonnybridge is still experiencing UFO sightings, but not as many as those which peaked between the years of 1992 to 1994."
THREE CONDUCTOR - configurations

The Grangemouth ufo seems to exhibit a feature common to many other types of ufos visiting earth. In the Lazar ufo the three electronic beams are focused to one point, whereas in the Adamski ufo there are three outside conductors around a central conductor. The Andreasson ufo can have three or four lower conductors. All three of which follow the same basic principle of electrokinetics as shown in fig.30 and fig.31.
ELECTRIC UFOs
As can be seen from the delineations in the patents of A.H. Bahnson (with collaboration from T Townsend Brown), the method of steering these electrokinetic craft is by controlling the electrical connections to the 3 or 4 domes, or spherical conductors, at the base of the craft (see Bahnson (Adamski) page). In the Bahnson prototype one, two, three or all four of its lower conductors can be switched into the electric circuit at any one time to effect the shape of the thrust-producing electric field.
Then, when the electric field passes through the air-ambient from the ufo's upper shell to these lower conductors its thrust energy would be shaped according to which one(s) of the lower conductors it had been connected to - and as Bahnson says (in his patent 3,263,102), the movement is a CANTING ACTION ... if only one, or two of these satellite conductors are used.
That many of the different ufo types ie, the Lazar Sport ufo, the Andreasson ufo, the Adamski ufo, the Piatan ufo, and the triangle ufos, all have 3 or 4 lower non-central conductors (v-shaped 'triangles' normally having 5) it can be assumed that they are used for this very same purpose - to alter the electric flux shape - to direct the thrust. The Grangemouth ufo, photographed as it passed overhead, has a very clear indication of a directed thrust. For it shows that the electric energy paths are exactly 120º apart - indicating a three conductor configuration. And conspicuously, by way of a complete absence of any visual energy at the other 120º radial intersecting these two, this photograph seems to show evidence that one conductor has been switched OUT of the circuit (see Tri-conductor below) as a consequence of steering.
Following on from the electronic-reaction maxims of Brown-Bahnson's research, to do with confinement of electric fields (so as to amplify their effect), again in the Grangemouth photograph can be seen the circular lines of the edges (enhanced in the above image of it) of various layers to its lower-half shell. Looking then at how the visible thrust paths relate to these edge-lines it can be assumed that there must be some sort of confinement occurring between these layers of the lower shell - confinement of the electric field paths which would correspond to increased directional propulsion energy.
To create and control such electric fields around the Grangemouth ufo's shell the lower half of the ufo would need to have broadly the same sort of capacitive structure as the Andreasson ufo (see Ufo Propagation page), with either a series of magnetic fields that can be energized INSIDE the lower-half shell that will effect the electric fields in the surrounding air OUTSIDE the ufo - or it would need to have the same sort of toroidal magnetic field as the Andreasson that can be 'sectioned', around 360 degrees, and confined in certain of those sections (blanked out in others) to manipulate the outside electric fields (as in Propagated High Frequency Wave Propulsion page).
