UFO in Dublin sky at about 8.35 tonight

AARRRGH

Did any of you see this?

My friend and I came out of college tonight at about 8.35. In the sky in the distance was a really weird shaped object moving upwards. It looked like a burst balloon floating upwards. It was black.

We then realised it was moving across the sky towards us. We were outside Griffith college and it was coming from West to East.

It kept changing shape as it moved towards us. Sometimes it looked like a saucer and other times it looked like stealth bomber. It kept changing shape.

It was moving at a constant speed, quite fast. I would say we had about 30 seconds to watch it in total.

It was making no noise and it was quite high up in the sky. It was about half the height of where a plane normally is.

As it passed overhead, I could see it was shaped like a small safety pin. Again, it kept changing shape.

It did not have wings or a long body.

As it went passed us and off into the distance, it remained at the constant speed, and kept changing shape.

By changing shape I mean if you could imagine holding a safety pin and moving it around.

It definitely was not a plane. It was silent and moving quite fast.

I do not believe in UFO's and I normally think people who do are crazy, but seriously, we both saw this and it was really freaky.

Did anyone else see it?

The direction was like it was from tallaght to ballsbridge.

damned students

AARRRGH

Not drinking or smoking! Totally sober and in a studying mood. My friend saw it as well. He was freaked.

Honestly, I have no explanation for what we saw. Bizarre.

I was expecting the OP to end with a bel air.

To answer your question, no i didn't see it.

Did you not use your mobile phones to take pictures or video?

AARRRGH

I'll draw some pictures of it later and post them online.

If you could imagine a stealth bomber flying overhead and wobbling/moving weirdly, you have an idea what it looked like.

Does anyone know if stealth bombers make no noise? This thing was totally silent.

It was moving in an exact straight line at a continuous speed. The wobbling was not making it change direction.

Can you believe I thought I was filming but I actually had my phone on camera (not video.)

Weather Balloon.

AARRRGH

No, it was definitely not a weather ballon. It was changing shape. Sometimes it was square.

Is this a wind-up, dublindude?:)

You've given me a few laughs the last few months...

Stealth bombers make noise, a lot of noise. Saw one at an airshow in the states years ago.

I'm not taking the mick here but myself and a good mate saw something very similar to what dublindude decribes, flying off the coast of Blackrock in Louth about 12 years ago...we'd had a few, but not that much and were sitting by the side of the road having a cigarette and we looked up and it's just sort of floated past...the sky was dark but the "plane" was darker in front of it, no real running lights, absolutely no noise and fom what we could gauge looked ot be about 30-40m long nad at a height of about 200m. We still talk about it the odd time, still no explanation for it and not the sort of thing you take up in normal conversatikon with anyone else, because you'll just get the usual responses and ridicule.

Ah sure it's only visiters from the future. They keep to themselves.

nyarlothothep

Could be a secret US military aircraft...

If they can engineer something like this and its public imagine the cool secret sci fi goodies they have

Obviously a it wouldn't make noise, that's why they're stealthy, they sneak up on you from 5 inches and break your neck with a choke hold, wait did you say Stealth Bomber, i thought you said you saw Solid Snake:rolleyes: my bad.

Seriously though no a stealth bomber dosen't make any noise when flying nor would you be able to see one because they fly to far up, maybe you saw an American spy plane, any minute now the Americans will accuse us of having Weapons of Mass Destruction hidden in a field somewhere

my dad seen it last night around 7pm he's in dundrum, he called me to take a look but i couldn't see it i am in rathfarnham at the foot of the mountains. about 30 minutes later i spotted it but it was too far away from me to make out any details, my dad got quite a good look at it as he reckoned it was only a couple of hundred feet high when he seen it, he described it as about 2 ft in diameter and maybe 20 ft long , although i dont think at those distances you have quite the same perspective so i wouldn't take that as gospel, he was quite adamant though that it was black and sausage shaped, he also had the impression that it was being controlled rather than drifting aimlessly, he is dying to know what it was, hence my prescence on the board, so if anyone finds out please post.

AnonoBoy

Some manner of radio controlled aircraft which I eh..... people probably use to buzz unsuspecting students and freak them out.

JODEAL

nah i reckon it was some sort of weather balloon, albeit a strange looking one, just trying to find out if anyone else saw it and what they made of it.

admiralofthefleet

with the way the weather has been over the last few days it could have been people out with remote controlled planes etc...

JODEAL

except it was much bigger than that, it is probably going to turn out to be something very ordinary and boring, but it's definitely niggling away at my dad trying to figure it out

A very big remote control plane maybe?

JODEAL

that looks to quote my dad "like a big black sausage" possible i suppose but not likely

tosh_thedude

While walking to work at 7.30am up around Walkinstown, I saw a strange object in the sky, moving side to side and up and down.... then it just vanished.... blink of an eye! So I believe people when they see things...I just don't go shouting it from the roof tops coze most people just think your crazy. Sigh... shouldn't this be in the Science section and not Dublin City? :rolleyes: UFO's are everywhere!! (Twilight zone music)

JODEAL

i only posted here in reply to the first post and due to the fact that my dad is bugging me to find out what i can about this thing i am not suggesting for a second that we are dealing with alien life forms, if they exist i assume they would have more sense than to come near us, as i said a few posts back it will turn out to be something very mundane

Cork Exile

It wasn't one of these by any chance

thats so cool. Im going to do taht tonight

LordSutch

It certainly was a UFO, and that's 4 sure > seeing as UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object, which it was, & still is

JODEAL

as i said i was not close enough to see it properly, but that certainly looks like what my dad described, thanks cork , whats the odds there will be a few of them floating around this evening.

Not sure if this was a ufo or satelite i saw at around this time. Went out to put the cover on the bike and i saw a very bright star moving i think towards the plough constellation. Although it's brightness immediatley dimed after about 15 seconds to near nothing and it disappeared near the plough ?!

If it resembled a star, it's probably just a satellite.

Coddlemonster

Yes i saw something too... around that time maybe a bit earlier I was in Kilbarrack and saw two objects with red lights rise straight up from behind the houses coming from the direction of Raheny.

one of them headed straight above my head while the other one lingered and then followed the path of the first one.

I was picking up two friends and i pointed them out but none of us could figure out what they were. They didn't look like they were at a high altitude but crossed the whole arc of the sky pretty quickly.

I'm not a ufo believer but its had me freaked out all night, so when i got home I started googling and ended up finding this thread.

I'm not taking the piss with this at all.
