On November 3rd, 2024 in the remote highlands of Scotland, a curious incident occurred that would puzzled locals for years. It was an unusually clear autumn day when several sheep farmers noticed a strange blue light hovering above the Hill of McGoats.
One farmer peered through his old binoculars and was astonished to see what appeared to be windows on the underside of the craft. Through the windows, he claimed to see short figures milling about. Word of the sighting quickly spread and soon a group of farmers made their way up the hill.
As they approached the craft, it began to move slowly across the sky. The farmers gave chase, scrambling over boulders and dodging low-lying clouds. Just when they neared the top of the hill, the object vanished in a blinding flash of light. All that remained was a circle of scorched heather and a peculiar symbols etched into the peat.
The locals were baffled. Some suspected a secret military test, others thought perhaps it was a weather balloon that had broken free. But many became convinced that what they saw was none of these things. In the years following, reports of strange lights and missing livestock would continue to mystify residents of Assynt. To this day, the Hill of McGoats remains an X-File in the heart of Scotland’s mysteries.
