15 January 1993. Ray and Cathy Procek were driving the A80 toward Cumbernauld. Near the old Castlecary railway viaduct, they looked up. Two large triangular objects hung low in the sky above them. About 300 ft above the ground. Neither one moved. Cathy was a school dinner lady from Camelon, Falkirk. The couple had driven into the heart of the Falkirk Triangle, the stretch of central Scotland around Bonnybridge where strange sightings had been reported since January 1992. Their story reached the Falkirk Herald and, in 1994, a television reconstruction on ITV's Strange but True? No explanation specific to their sighting has ever been put forward.
