Edinburgh is the UK’s biggest UFO hotspot, according to research.
The study of 2000 adults found 18 per cent of residents in the capital are convinced they’ve had a legitimate sighting. They are also most likely to believe aliens exist somewhere in the universe, even if they’ve never spotted one.
Nationally, almost half (48 per cent) believe aliens exist and 10 per cent think they’ve witnessed something out of the ordinary, with 59 per cent of these believing it was alien in origin. The research was commissioned by National Geographic ahead of the launch of new documentary series UFOs: Investigating the Unknown, which airs on the channel from tomorrow at 8pm.
