Initial data
The husband and wife took the dogs for a walk in the Braid Hills. The golf course goes along a path to the top of one of the hills, then the path goes down into the valley, and then they noticed what they called "cellophane UFOs", because you don't see all this, it's like a big sheet of cellophane swaying in the wind above you. Usually, when they meet, they are small or seem small, about four square yards. But in this case, it seemed like it was at least fifty square yards, and then it was gone.
They continued their way through the valley, then across the lawn to the return path, which is on the other side of the hill. At this time, the man was looking up, trying to see any other UFO, and his wife passed about thirty yards in front of him when he saw that she was watching something on the lawn halfway up the hill.
When he approached her, she told him that someone was watching us, and pointed to the area.
At first, he didn't see anything, and then a man appeared in his field of vision, who seemed to be bending down to do something. He was at a distance of fifty to a hundred yards (45-90 m) from them, so he assumed that he was doing the same thing as them, walking the dog, so they continued walking, still watching his movements.
When they went on the way back, they went up to the lawn, where they could still see what they took to be a man moving across the lawn, so even though it was quite high, he turned on his flashlight and flashed his dogs.
One is a long-haired German Shepherd, and the other is a cross between a ridgeback and a Great Dane, both large dogs. Then he turned off the flashlight again and continued up the hill to the back path of the descent to the parking lot, it took them about fifteen yards from the man, who at that time turned around and walked about two yards in their direction, and then stopped.
They could see him very clearly now - his height was the first thing they noticed, as he must have been over seven feet tall, very thin, dressed all in black. It was then that he noticed that his wife kept calling him "they", but since he could only see one person, he didn't mention it at the time. They continued to walk across the lawn, and then reached a section of the trail descending from the hill.
They should have been about ten yards away from the man, so they stopped and looked at him, and he just kept standing and looking at them. It was then that they saw that he was much taller than seven feet (2.1 m) - he was big, but very thin. Then he drove about two yards, then stopped, and they just kept walking to the car. It was only when he started the car and turned on the lights, ready to leave, that the whole episode became clear, and they began to discuss the event.
His wife was adamant that there were two people dressed in black, both very tall, although he could only remember one. Another strange fact is that they could not remember seeing a face, only a tall black human figure with arms, legs, etc. He noticed a belt with what looked like silver buttons on it. In addition, they can't remember any other details about the person.
Another strange face is that the dogs didn't seem to notice him, were very calm, just wandered around as usual, and this is very unusual for them, since they usually stay close, approaching someone and defending themselves.
They both felt no fear, and this is very unusual for his wife, as she is very easily frightened, and although he had a camera with him, he was not going to take pictures, but this would be the first step that he usually took.
Original news
A husband and wife took the dogs out for a walk on the Braid Hills golf course following a path to the summit of one of the hills, the path then flows downhill into a valley, this is when they noticed what they called “cellophane UFOs” as you do not see it all, its like a large sheet of cellophane rippling in the wind above you. Normally when they come across them they are small or look small, about four square yards. But in this case it seemed at least fifty square yards and then it was gone. They continued their walk along the valley then across the green to the return path that is at the other side off the hill. At this time the man was looking up trying to see any other UFO and his wife had wandered about thirty yards in front of him when he saw her watching something on a green half way up the hill.
When he arrived beside her, she told him someone was watching us and pointed to the area. At first he saw nothing, and then a man came into view that seemed to bend over to do something. He was about fifty to one hundred yards from them so he assumed he was doing the same as them, walking a dog, so they continued their walk still watching his movements as it was midnight in the middle of nowhere so better safe than sorry. As they followed the return path it took them up towards the green where they could still see what they took to be a man moving around on the green so even though it was quite high, he switched on his flashlight and highlighted his dogs.
One a long haired German shepherd and the other a cross between ridgeback and Great Dane, both large dogs. He then turned his flashlight off again and continued up the hill to the return downhill path to the car park, this took them about fifteen yards from the man who at this time had turned and moved about two yards in their direction then stopped. They could now see him very clearly—his height was the first thing they noticed as he must have been over seven feet tall, very thin, dressed in all black. It was then that he noticed that his wife kept referring to him as “them” but as he could only see one person, he did not mention this at the time. They continued walking up the green, and then they reached the downhill stretch of the path.
They must have been about ten yards from the man so they stopped and looked at him and he just continued to stand still and look at them. This is when they could see that he was a lot taller than seven feet—he was big, but very thin. He then moved over about two yards and then stopped, and they just continued their walk down to the car. It was not until he started the car and turned the lights on ready to leave that the whole episode became clear and they started discussing the event.
His wife was adamant that there were two people, dressed in black, both very tall, even though he could only remember seeing one. The other strange fact is that they could not remember seeing a face, only a tall black human shape, with arms, legs, etc. He noticed a belt with what looked like silver buttons on it. Apart from that they cannot remember any other detail about the person. The other strange face is that the dogs did not seem to notice him, were very calm, just wandering about as usual, and that is very unusual for them as they normally stick close when nearing someone and get defensive.
They both felt no fear and that is very unusual for his wife as she spooks very easily, and even though he had his camera with him he had no inclination to take a photo, yet this would have been the first move he would normally make.
