Shakey UFO footage

hamsterboy

Hi Guys
Never posted here before but last monday evening (5/5/2008) myself and my GF were watching a light in the sky across the river in front our house in The Weir in Galway.
Unfortunately, the only video equipment I had at hand was a digital camera with video capabilities. The zoom was at maximum so the picture is very shakey.
Anyway, the light hovered behind the house in the video and then turned a different colour and sped off.
My GF was watching whats in the video through binoculars abd she said it looked like it was in two parts, one part trailing the other.
Theres probably a very good explanation for it but for now I'm happy to declare that, as it was flying and I don't know what it is.....I FILMED A UFO!!!
Anyway, look for yerself

Just a possible idea of what it might be. It also comes in video.

Flying Lanterns Thailand

Judging by its movements id say thats what it is, also the fact that it faded and lost altitude may have looked like it was flying away but was in fact the candle dying.

Its hard to say as its a slow moving light. There is no irattic movment either .

I'd go with lanterns too and for an example of them:

Posted a news article about them a while back in the UFO megathread: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=52856607&postcount=163

Oh God, I'm going to learn how to make these lanterns and release a thousand of them across some dumb US city

I don't think its a lantern due to the fact that for most of the clip it was relativity still or moving very slow but when it started to flicker it moved at a much greater speed. You can the flicker and speed is down to a gust of wind. Not made up in my mind though, need more details of what the weather was like that night around the area of the light anomaly.

Riamfada

I think it moved pretty constantly and then went down when it flickered (ie the light going out)

At a guess I would say it is a Garda helicopter hovering in one position for a time before moving off.

ok i can't view the video because i'm using mobile internet but about a half hour ago (today is tenth of may) and i saw a light which looked like a bright star. it moved slowly from right to left slowly and then stopped for ages. then it was blocked by clouds and when they moved it was much higher in the sky. more clouds came along and when they went the light was gone! creepy. oh yea and i'm in galway too on the east side of the city

I've seen plenty of those around Galway, actually. Generally the same idea.

One night myself and my girlfriend were lying looking at the stars. Three shooting stars shot by overhead. And then, a few minutes later, we saw one of the stars move! Or at least a light very high in the air. Wasn't an airplane, you can generally see their flashing lights if you look carefully, and it was an unbelievably clear night. It wasn't a shooting star as it had no tail. It was around the 3rd time I've seen something like this.

International Spacestation. Slow moving star across the sky. Co-incidentally thats also the title and caption to my next album.

It wasn't a slow moving star though. It moved through the air at quite a pace.

Do we have an alien section here? If not then this is the right place.

I see these lights all the time in Athenry... but alas they are only the Aer Arran flights into Carnmore.... My two cents on the matter!

GhostInTheRuins

It's interesting alright. Could it really be one of those lanterns? It's hard to imagine a lantern staying perfectly still in midair for that length of time.

They do move very slow

A satellite will zip across the sky at a fair pace. They can easily be mistaken for shooting stars when your eye first catches them.

It's called a plane.

I believe the ISS moves at a speed of about 28,000 kph... I've watched it before and it moves from one side of the horizon to the other in about a minute and it's the brightest thing in the sky... other than the moon.

plane lol idiots..

Clearly you've never seen an airplane....

I'd agree with the helicopter theory on this. It looks like it was hovering with it's flood light turned on and then turned it off and moved away. See it all the time in Coolock.
