    There is an awful lot up in the night sky atm and it would behove those who are looking for ET to bone up on what is out there and what is already known be it shuttle, space station or meteors.

    I have to say that i haven't heard anything about the increase of ufo activity! Can you elaborate on this please?

    i'll try to give the short version. IN the US a few months ago people took pictures of various "drone" type UFOs. The pics were very detailed and immediately suspected to be CGI. It's been months and no proof can be found yet. On top of that, a mystery person named "Isaac" saw some of the pictures and recognized the writing on the drones. He claims to have worked on similar technology as a contract worker for the gov't in the 80's. It's a fascinating story and even if it's a hoax, all the facts check out and no holes have been discovered yet.

    Start in this forum in the thread titled "#1 - MYSTERY of the DRONES -SOLVED??? - ASK ISAAC". There's about 4 or 5 of those threads in ascending order

    http://ufocasebook.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=drone


    At the same time in the UK a giant crop circle appeared in a field that was being recorded. The circle appeared in less than 90 minutes. The main camera ran out of film, but the infrared camera that was running didn't catch any heat signatures, only a brief flash. Since that time a few more circles have appeared and certain analysis points out that they are trying to convey the date 8/18/08 which is next saturday.

    Start at www.earthfiles.com and go to the bottom of the page. There's about 4 or 5 articles about these circles.

    It does seem like there is a lot more UFO news recently, especially regarding quite credible sightings. Two that immediatly come to mind are the large UFOs spotted over the channel islands recently, and the UFO that was reported over O'Hare airport near the start of the year.

    I've also seen this video taken in Haiti reported a lot the last few days.




    It does look a little funny, the perspective doesn't seem quite right, almost as if they're using something small and close to look like something bigger further away. Then again I think it would be pretty difficult to get a remote controlled aircraft of that shape to fly at those kind of speed. It could well be CGI but nothing in it looks obviously CGI to me, and the auto-focusing of the camera as it zooms looks authentic enough.

    if you look at other videos linked on youtube, it's a definite hoax. The same person did one for the dominican republic also iirc

    Nice videos, don't buy them at all, for there is very little movement in the trees as the objects pass over!:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭Havermeyer


    ............and if you pay attention to both of the 'ufos' as they disappear into the distance, they both seem to be synchronized in their movements. Looks like someone was lazy and used the one image twice.

    It's amazing that now everybody has a mobile phone with a camera there are less sightings of UFO's strange that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    What are your stats based on as a mater of interest? Are you talking about just in Ireland? Over how many years? What percentage have the sightings fallen by?

    Uncle said he once saw one of them ufo's over a football field while an u-12 county final was taking place. It hovered for about 10 seconds and then shot off. The ref collapsed and the game had to be put back to the following saturday. Uncle thought everyone saw it but when he started asking people about the horseshoe like craft in the sky people just laughed. He reckons ref must have seen something but is afraid to talk about it. My uncle is called "E.T" now which he isn't exactly pleased with,wish people would speak out

    Yea, it's not uninteresting - a neighbour of mine once seen a Flying Saucer out her back around Bonfire night in the mid-Eighties - she's still adamant that it flew over the clothes line,kinda did a u-turn round about the drain pipe and disappeared - now,she's neither reputable nor disreputable but I always insisted on holding my council for the sake of good neighbourly relations if nothing else- by the way,ITV were showing the Sci-Fi series 'V' at the time...She really should have bought a Semi-detached in Boyle while prices were still reasonable


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 59 ✭✭smirkingmaurice


    Had a friend once who claimed he had a close encounter of the first kind but to be honest i wouldn't believe much from him because hes a dope head. Reckoned 2 freaks called to his door one night. Incidently this was halloween night as well,1992, reckons they were too small to be children, about 2 foot high with huge heads. Asked him what did they say or do, he said they did nothing, just looked at him and walked off. Stupid story I know but I reckon lot of dopeheads kind of see these things, make you wonder about this kind of mass subconscious some people say we can tap into every now and again

    Dear readers,

    I am a recent muslim covert and I think that, rather than expecting little green men to jump out of ufo's, maybe a true blessing shall emerge from the skies. My husband, who out of respect I shall not name, once said that if allah was to return it would be "from the clouds bearing semblances of authority in our name". I believe you are good people but it is disrespectful to even recognise the existence of other beings as there can only be one true species for allah to overlook

    Its not being disrespectful, its a belief, the same way you believe that allah is the only being looking over everyone and everything. It is also a lot more reasonable that there are others beings in space as there are thousands of species on earth that grew from microscopic bacteria, microscopic bacteria was found in a meteoroid from mars awhile back so its much more plausible that there are other beings out there, they don't necessarily have to be little green men though!

    Interesting, but if the coastguard reported seeing them, why where the coastguard out? Is it possible they where rescue flares? Rescue flares are known to hang in the air for a good bit!

    Id imagine it was a CoastGuard Station. Also flares dont "hang" for too long infact your looking at about 10/12 seconds if less.

    I know, but they hang log enough for someone to think at a glance that its not moving or moving very slow, obviously its very hard to say anything in regard to this as none of us where there and don't know the circumstances surrounding the incident!
