Re: noise at Calvine, we have a first-hand account from a directly involved source contemporaneous with the incident itself. The source told us that the witness was specifically asked what noise the diamond-shaped craft made, both when it was allegedly hovering and when it took off vertically. The source says that the witness was categorical: "It didn't make any noise at all." Nick Pope, in his book, claims to have learned years later that the craft made a ‘weird humming noise,’ but our source says that is definitely not what the witness said.
If there was a Harrier anywhere near at the time, what else are you likely to hear?

We seem to have two choices here - that the object was 'secret project' operating from a secluded research establishment like West Freugh, in which case a regular squadron Harrier would seem highly unlikely. If it was - what was it doing flying around on a Saturday evening in daylight at low level in central Scotland. Surely more likely places to go and play. It's almost like they wanted to draw attention to themselves.

If it wasn't a 'secret project' and is genuinely an unknown object the time and place become less relevant, but there is still the issue of why a Harrier is there - surely one of the last things you'd send to have a look (availability/speed/radar)?
