Hi,

I am looking into the activities of QinetiQ, the privatised company created in 2001 that was formerly part of of DERA (Defence Evaluation and Research Agency) .

I am interested in their unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) programme.
Notable craft and projects include Zephyr, the Mercator, Taranis, and QinetiQ’s Tornado Integrated Avionics Research Aircraft (TIARA) which while human controlled is escorted by a group of UAV drones it controls. QinetiQ drones are eventually intended for Intel/police use and will be used to monitor the general population from the sky.

Some of these drones are triangle type craft. I believe QinetiQ are only now making public capabilities they have had for some time and which have inspired a number of UFO type events over the years. Furthermore there are hints there are other black projects which remain under wraps.

I have been collecting info on these drones for some time and while some believe that these craft use purely Earth based technology others have suggested to me they are in fact based on backward engineered ET tech captured from UFO crashes in the UK and elsewhere.

QinetiQ are using West Freugh as a major test base for its drone flights, a base famous for a 1957 UFO sighting. I have been told one of these UAVs flying out of West Freugh crashed near Loch Doon sparking a major forest fire in April 2007. I am partivulary interested in more background on this.

As mentioned in your forum there was a UFO flap in the area in 2007 but I think this may be the tip of the iceberg and there are plenty of other reports. Basically I am looking for people in the Dumfries and Galloway area to provide input on this ongoing mystery with any sightings of anything odd or anyone else with useful info to come forward. At the moment I am still in the early stage on this investigation and I am trying to evaluate the reliability of the info I have been given. There are other areas in Scotland that may be involved.

Someone from Dumfries recently reported a UFO although it didn't really sound like a UAV. Here is the link.

So there is at least one person keeping their eyes on the skies in Dumfries!

Thanks Alison. As you say doesn't sound like a UAV though it is interesting.
