1. The First Sighting: A Shepherd’s Tale
One shepherd looking after his sheep saw something that would permanently alter his life amid the undulating hills of the Scottish Highland. The sky burst in a magnificent show of red as evening sank over the hazy terrain. Unlike anything he had ever seen, a bolt of red lightning shot across the heavens lighting the area in an alien radiance. Awestruck and shaking, the shepherd understood he had seen something remarkable. He had no idea that this was only the start of a worldwide phenomena that would enthral both mystics and scientists.
Meteorologists and atmospheric specialists finally heard the story of the red lightning, which first reached the local hamlet then surrounding towns. Researchers from Edinburgh University immediately found the shepherd’s consistent description and the supporting tales from other witnesses in the region appealing, even if sceptics discounted it as a trick of the light or a strong imagination. Driven to explore this unparalleled meteorological occurrence, they descended the mountains.
The red lightning had left physical evidence, the scientists found as they set up their equipment and questioned witnesses. At the location the shepherd had saw the bolt strike, patches of burnt ground and magnetic rocks were discovered. These results perplexed the scientists since they had characteristics unlike those linked to regular lightning strikes. The rocks showed odd magnetic alignments that contradicted accepted theories; the soil tests showed indications of alien particles. This physical proof gave the shepherd’s story validity and prepared the ground for a scientific riddle that would shortly enthral the globe.
