civilian-claim1990· Calvine, Perthshire, Scotland
In August 1990, two hillwalkers near Calvine, Perthshire, Scotland, photographed a large diamond-shaped object hovering silently before ascending vertically. The MoD obtained the negatives, classified them, and suppressed the story for over thirty years. In 2022, researcher David Clarke located the last surviving print held by a retired RAF press officer and donated it to Sheffield Hallam University.
The six-photograph sequence, including one showing a military jet in the vicinity, was described by MoD insiders as among the clearest UAP imagery in British government files. The Daily Mail published the image on August 13, 2022, the first time it had appeared publicly in 32 years. The witnesses' identities remain protected. The original negatives are still unaccounted for.
