Info Regarding Green Object Over Dublin Airport

zenno

Hello Folks.

I know this is going to sound weird but bare with me.

I was wondering if any of you plane-spotters noticed a strange green large object moving north-easterly at time 22:25pm earlier this evening in the location of Dublin airport ? and if so can you tell me what you seen, as i seen something damn weird at this time and by the time i ran in to get the video camera i only managed to get a very short recording of it. Surely someone else seen this thing as it was heading north-east and was low say around 2 thousand feet give or take.

The footage is very short but i was lucky to even get this much by the time i got to the camera. You might need to pause it at the start.

Not convinced of what ?, it's just something odd i seen, i thought someone must have seen it as well.

I haven't a clue what it is and i am not even going to assume on what it was, just curious as to it that's all. It was large enough so someone must have seen it other than myself.

Well i seen it and it was big enough from a good distance, i wonder did air traffic control see anything on the radar at this time 22:25pm saturday evening. Will probably never know.

Ah well, looks like no-one seen it so.

I explained it in my main post. Here is exactly what happened as follows,

I only managed to get a quick shot of it when i went in to get the camera. It could be anything.

Did anyone see a strange green object moving across the sky at time 22:25 over swords Co. Dublin Ireland ? it was moving from south over dublin airport to north and then changed direction to east when i just caught a tiny bit of it on the camcorder as it was low but the bush got in the way to get more footage.

When i first seen it, i went out to the back garden for some air and noticed it but at this time it was a red light, it wasn't flashing it was just red and then i ran in to get the camcorder which took me around 7 seconds and then when i caught it, it was a green roundy/boxed shape.

Anyone see this ? or was it just another chinese lantern ?

You have to pause it at the start as it happens so fast. Could be anything but i'd like to know if anyone else got a good shot of it.

I just barely managed to catch it when i got back out to the garden to record it...I know it's short but i was lucky to even get it on camera at all.

PS: I agree it looks dodgy but i swear to you, i seen something. I have no idea what it was but the tiny video clip is real and is what i managed to record.

I'm on boards a long time now and i don't make things up, i have better things to be doing, but this is the story.

I'm not convinced because this seems like a hoax. And you're not going to get many replies at 5am in the morning

If I'm proven wrong then I'll eat my hat.

Yeah the usual garbage reply. OK so, doesn't bother me but i'm telling you the truth so take it or leave it.

Here i am telling the truth of what i seen and i get the reply that it's fake, well why did i bother. Ah sure forget it so, what's the bloody point if no-one takes you seriously.

Someone must have seen this, there is no way i was the only one that seen it ffs.

MrStuffins

I just don't get why you pointed the camera at it for a second and then seemingly down at the ground. Why would you do that, it makes no sense.

The reason for that was because the minute i got back out to the garden i had to press the record button and try to capture it and then when it went down under the bushes i pressed the stop record function but when you do this it takes a few seconds for the record to stop even though you pressed the stop record button, and i done this because the object was out of sight, but i went out the front of the house onto the road to try and capture it again but it was gone, there was no sign of it.

I can see why it might look dodgy but i'm telling you that i only had a split second to record the object because it went out of sight.

Just think of it..you yourself are out in the garden and your garden is like a small forest and trees and bushes all over the place and you see something, then you say i better get the camera asap but just think about the time it takes to get it and turn it on and activate the record....you could miss it, thats what happened me, but i just caught the thing just before it went down.

I don't care about it anymore now because i seen what i seen but could only record the tiny bit i seen unfortunately as it happened so fast.

I am really pissed off i didn't get it when i first seen it without having to run in and get the camera but that's the way it goes i suppose, it's not my fault, but i wish i had have had the bloody camera when i first seen it, it was weird for sure.

Like i said i have no idea what it was, but it was strange and i have been living right beside Dublin airport for 26 years and i seen all kinds of aircraft and choppers and also militay craft now and again but this was not an aircraft of anything i ever seen before as the shape and colour was just strange.

I'm going to just put it aside from my brain now as i can do nothing with it, i'll just put it down to a strange visual of some kind of object.

This is the camera i used and when you press the stop record function it takes a few seconds to actually stop, Panasonic HC-V10

I don't buy it for a second.

I'm not getting you to buy anything. Well when you see something really strange in your life and try to explain it to someone, i hope you get better acceptance because it's a right pain when no-one believes what you are saying when it is the truth. Just remember that.

I put this up originally just to see did other plane-spotters see this thing as they always look at the skies and they might have noticed it, that is the only reason i put it here but it seems like i was the only one that seen it. I don't blame anyone for not believing me but i suppose you have to see it for yourself to believe it.

Yes, the video is crap, but that is what i managed to capture before i lost it unfortunately.

PS: as i said... above in the previous post... This is the camera i used and when you press the stop record function it takes a few seconds to actually stop, Panasonic HC-V10 this is why it shows the video of the lower bushes, ask anyone that uses this camera and they will tell you the same. It's a flaw in the camera.

I believe it's part of a new initiative by Richard Branson _ Vegan Airlines. He launched it on March 17th with the slogan "Greener than a Paddy atin' cabbage sangwiidges on Paddy's Day, in Ireland, in a field, near the airport." I say this is just a cheap publicity stunt - spam alert!!

At last I have at least one intelligent answer to this strange sighting. Welcome aboard.

I did say it could be anything, but thats a reasonable observation and answer.:D

What ever it was, it was a weird looking thing indeed.

FWVT

Right, so where exactly were you looking from. Dublin Airport is a big place. And why do you say it was at 2,000 ft. If it was then it looks like it was travelling at near Mach 1. VERY unlikely.

To me it looks like a deflated balloon and only a 100 m or so away. Winds were light last night so for it to appear so fast it must have been pretty close. But in reality it just all looks too dodgy.

And please...it's "I SAW", not I seen! ;-)

jarvis

I seen a meteor a couple of years ago on my way home from work. It flew across the sky in front of me as I drove down the motorway and it landed in a field off in the distance. It was very hard to tell how far away it was. But nobody believed me an then it was on the radio later that night!!!!

Someone on RTE wireless interviewed a meteorite? Oh do tell, I'm fascinated. Was Tubbs or The Plank asking the questions?

Chinese lantern..... and the arrival of aer lingus's new secret aircraft.

Right so OP. I'm in.

May I be the first to welcome our new alien overlords?

Think people are being a bit harsh on the op, he didn't claim it was anything

I don't know if its anything. I'm just hedging my bets.

"this is small, those are far away".

OP says it was at about 2,00 feet, but with no idea of the size of the object, this is impossible to measure with the eye alone. In the video, it looks like the object is moving very fast, relative to the stationary bush. i would reackon that rather than something large and at 2,000 feet, it's something small and much closer, and moving at the speed of the wind. At that time of the evening, with twilight falling and the sky still bright but not fully lit, things can appear very deceptive.

My guess is that it was a helium party balloon.

Ok. Balloon I can agree with. However, there's no evidence whatsoever to suggest that it (a) was filled with helium, or (b) was used for the purpose of brightening up a party.

On what do you base these ludicrous assumptions?

zenno

I don't think it was a balloon because the object was red at first, it just looked like a red light not blinking at all and then it just morphed into that green thing.

Like i said, it could have been anything, it just looked weird. It was big from where i seen it and it was moving fast enough. I just reported what i saw and i'll probably never know what it was so i'll just carry on regardless and forget about it.

The reason i say it was not a balloon is because it sharply changed direction from moving north to then moving east.

Wind change at altitude.

Probably, i don't know. Damn shame about that crappy bit of video though, it's not enough footage to make anything out of it.

I don't mind a bit of banter over it, it's always expected with things like this. I'll be on ball next time if i see anything like this again, i'll have the camera with me all the time.

First off Zenno has over 3.5k posts and has been around for a while so he should be well aware a post like this will draw ridicule and abuse as well as genuine responses.

My opinion... Epic hoax, if not by Zenno or someone he knows then by someone living close to him.

Or

Well I just haven't a scooby doo to be honest!

Well it's definitely not a hoax as i have more important things to be doing, but sometimes people see things that look unusual and then they try to record them. It's just something that i saw and i decided to record it, nothing else. It's genuine but i just don't know what it was.

You are very quick to get all defensive and agitated over people questioning what you saw, especially at 4am in the morning.
As well as that, a brief look at your post history shows a lot of crap posting in the paranormal forum, conspiracy theories forum, and dublin forum with similar stuff.

This thread it probably more suited for those forums, as nobody here it going to believe this 2 second probable hoax video.

If you looked at my first post here then you would have seen that i was asking if any plane-spotters seen it as well.

What has posting in the paranormal threads got to do with this ?. so i must be a hoaxer and a mad-man because i posted a few things in the paranormal forum ?.

I'm not getting defensive at all, i saw what i saw and was only looking to see did anyone else see it, the most logical thing to do when you need more info on something like this.

It is you that is being forceful in relation to this, not me. Anyway i'll leave it at that because no one seen it only myself so what's the point.

Also, you are out of order attacking my other posts, just because what i say in other posts doesn't suit you're thinking, there is no excuse for attacking a poster for their posts. Good day.

Looks like one of them being blown sideways.When the fuel ran out the wind would enter it from the opening and blow it along fairly quickly.

A Chathaoirleach, I resemble the speaker's quoted remarks and do not wish to be associated with them in any way; there's a place and time for logicalness and all that other modern hippy clap-trap but this is not it.

For the record I have the same issue with my camera when I use the Record function.

Would also explain the colour change from red to green. The lights went out !!!

zenno

I have to say, that green lantern looks damn close to the object i saw, and the red light, like was said being blown out and of course the lantern would lose altitude. Looks like we have an identified object now.

I blew up the photo and i could see a black dot in the middle underside that looks very much like the place where the candle would go.

Thanks for that pic, it sure as hell looks like the object in the video

Those bloody things should be banned, especially from letting them off at the airport.

@ Tenger::: For the record I have the same issue with my camera when I use the Record function.

Thanks Tenger for the acknowledgement regarding this particular camera record function.

That's a completely different object seen on a different night.

I took it down because it is now identified. Well, it had to be that lantern because it sure looks like it after looking at the above posters picture of one, and also the red light when i first saw it.

It makes sense now that the red light must have flickered out and then it lost altitude and that's what it looked like on camera, it has to be, as it is the most logical explanation.

foxcoverteddy

Oh dear, it is so simple an explanation, MOL has painted one of his 737's to look like what he was intending when he got his hands on the Aer Lingus fleet, he needed to see it fly past for him to evaluate as to whether or not it was suitable.
Why did no one suspect MOL?
