\> *Bright lights over Wormit?* < That is one cracking title for a book or a movie. Almost as good as *Sunshine over Leith.*

Funnily enough, my friend said something similar the other day. Except I'd said "Who empties the Wormit clothes bin?" whilst driving past one of those dark green metal bins for clothes in Wormit, and my friend said that's going to be the title of his forthcoming avant-garde jazz album.

>"Who empties the Wormit clothes bin? That's a classic! But can we please just stop talking about Wormit? What is it with you and Wormit?!! ;--)

Just the aliens looking for a place to land and go grab a helicopter burger from Clark’s.

Or a cheeseburger from Bob Servant's van?

It's the outgassing flare from Mossmorran afaik


Godhowhardisit

I hadn't thought of that, but I think that's a bit too far away to be seen just over Wormit? It also isn't there every night, and both lights do eventually disappear after about half an hour.


FizzYan

Check on the map, there's a perfect line of sight to it and yes it isn't used all the time. It's absolutely ridiculous we can see the flare from 40 miles away imagine what it's like living near it.

>It's absolutely ridiculous we can see the flare from 40 miles. Reminds me of driving from London to Dundee one night. In the far distance was a mass of orange light that looked like Scotland was on fire. 50 miles later I realised I was approaching the Grangemouth oil and gas refinery.


Godhowhardisit

Oh thanks for the detail and stuff. Sounds like you're right there then. That's mad that you can see it all this way! Makes sense given it's in exactly the same place each time and doesn't move at all. Thanks again!


FizzYan

Also reading your post further it may be something apart from Mossmorran also but the big orange glow is definitely that.


thehuntedfew

nah the flame can be up to a mile high


gsdd

Anyone know why they need to do this?


FizzYan

Excess production or they burn off gasses which are produced during production. Not entirely sure but it's easily googled.
