Those mysterious lights over the Scottish Highlands – National Geographic coverage incoming?

Quick heads up: according to a mate who works in film production, National Geographic is apparently filming a special about the cluster of UAP sightings that have been happening in the Highlands over the past six months. They've got exclusive interview access to three of the witnesses and they're planning to film re-enactments at actual sighting locations.

This is potentially good and potentially bad. Good because major international exposure might prompt official investigation. Bad because National Geographic has to make telly and telly means drama, reconstructions, ominous music, the whole lot.

The broadcast date is supposedly early 2025. Anyone know anything more about this? Anyone involved in the actual sightings? I'm genuinely curious what the witnesses think about having cameras pointed at them.

Ooh, my sister lives near Inverness and she's mentioned some strange lights. I should ask her if she's been contacted. National Geographic would lend some credibility at least, though you're right about the dramatics. They'll probably add some dodgy piano score and cut to commercial right at the exciting bit.

Absolutely will. That's how they make people keep watching. But honestly, exposure is exposure. Some dodgy National Geographic production is still better coverage than the Scottish tabloids doing something like 'MYSTERY LIGHTS: ARE THEY ALIENS OR DRONES?' with a stock photo of a flying saucer.

If anyone's involved in these sightings or knows someone who is, be careful what you tell the production team. They'll edit it to fit a narrative. Get everything in writing, know what they're planning to broadcast, that kind of thing. Once it's on telly you can't take it back.

Anybody else think these big media productions rush to cover stuff before there's proper investigation done? Like, let the researchers actually investigate properly before the cameras show up? Just me?
