A full report on the 1991 meteor event from the BAA website in pdf format.
I was standing on the quay in Dundalk at the time (where the spirit store is now) having a sneaky smoke when the sky lit up...it was a little cloudy over the bay and I only caught glimpses of the object in between breaks in the cloud...the colours I saw were predomonantly green and some blue and I saw at least two parts to the object....that report reckons about 10 seconds....for me it seemed much much longer, but memory is funny like that.
Interesting to see that so many people reported this...

That morning on the way to work several of the aspects of the dream match up perfectly so narurally i was freaked out and went home stick.

The same day, not even 5 hours after my initial dream a woman got hit by a bus in THE EXACT same location and died.

Was out camping in Wicklow about 5 years ago. At around one in the morning I saw a bunch of people dressed in White dancing through the trees in a woods and I could hear wierd singing. At first I thought I was hallucinating due to lack of sleep (as I also saw a caterpillar on a bicycle that afternoon ) but when I checked my watch turns out it was the date of the Summer solstice. Some of my mates claimed to have heard the singing too.

Some friends came across a guy chained to a tree with bondage gear on later on that week. He was blindfolded and they kept a wide berth. He wasn't there later on that day and he didn't seem distressed.

On another occasion we found some skinned animals (we reckoned they were dogs) one was layed out on a rock the other strung up on a tree.

I have other stories of hearing giggling and laughter in the dark and hearing footsteps and crazy noises but never saw anything.

Moral of my stories...if you wanna see wierd **** spend a night or two up the Dublin/Wicklow Mountains.

I remember i think it was the summer of 95 lying in bed staring out the window, I used to live next to whitehall church. suddenly this glowing yellow triangle came slowly over the top of the church it had 3 orange circles inside, i freak and ran into my parents room (oh yeah i was about 12 when this happened) and told my folks there was something outside, my da jumps out of bed thinking someones breaking into his car but my ma seen it, next thing you know it just shot off over the houses. next day it was in the papers that it had been sighted al the way along the m50 i think, apparently it was a"experimental aircraft" yeah a glowing one in Dublin at 3 in the morning

I was on bus once that drove over someone. that was surreal, seen two corpses at separate times in the liffey

Oh and on the topic of "i see dead people" the front bedroom in my folks house is mad haunted. the best story being my brother who was lying there one night an he rolled over to see an old woman lying mid air. so as she was blocking the door he turned back around and stared out the window for about by his count 2 hours, at which point he turned around to find she was still there. so he just turned back around till morning when my da came downstairs and it was bright so he chanced turning round again and she was gone, turns out our elderly neighbour had died during the night,

i also stood nex to bertie ahern at a urinal once but i wont go into that suffice to say it resembles mary harney;)

The solar eclipse yokey in August '99 (I think), the stream of cars pulled alongside the road and everyone with their arms stretched out blocking the sun to try and get a look at it. Everything was at a standstill.

Great Thread, just spent an hour reading it all when I should be tidying up

Couple of years ago I was cycling home on the Belgard Road, I saw a 'UFO' (by defintion that I don't know wtf it was!)

It was summer, evening time, not yet dark, but would be soon.

Above in the sky, but not far away at all, I saw, what looked like a small ball of flame, pulsating, a little ball of fire, then after a few seconds it shot across the sky with an impressive flame like drag behind it and disappeard with a greena flash.

Very bizzare but cool looking, have absolutly no idea what that was, I don't have a clue about meteors or the like, but it didnt seem like what I would expect of them....

Back when we used to save turf for the fire, i was turning over a sod in the bog when I noticed something unusual under it. It was about 6 inches long with another six inches of a tail. As soon as I realised I was inches away from a lizard I ran away faster than I ever thought I could. Also seing a bat close up was pretty shocking.

Driving on the road beside Stephen's Green (Grafton st straight ahead, outside the Eircom store) a few years ago, and there was a guy in a wheelchair in the middle of the road (middle lane) just sitting there hoping somone would knock him down! It was mental - cars beeping, pedestrians not knowing what to do, and also cars driving around him.
Poor guy, but an odd situation.

I'm bad at telling stories, but whatever, heres mine

1. Getting the 66 into town, for those of you who don't know, the bus goes along the quays. So i look out the window (top deck if that matter) and I look into the liffey, and there was some kind of massive eel/sea serpent, vastly bigger than your average eel (if we have eels) it even had those humps like the loch ness pictures, I have a witness also of it.

2. Hanging around at a roman spa around our area with some friends, i look into the sky of the clear summers day, and i see this incredibly huge bird, much bigger than any bird we have in Ireland, it appeared the same size as any other bird, but my depth perception then recognized that it was at a much higher altitude than what birds normally fly at also. My guess would be some kind of large imported bird got loose

related to number 1., I once saw a seal in the liffey also, it was during the Dublin Duck Race (youtube it) it was a great surprise

A few weeks ago , on a Saturday afternoon, I saw a guy in Drimnagh walking down the road in his dressing gown in his bare feet. He had his slippers under his arm. He was just walking, looked happy. A few mins later I saw him again carrying two bottles of wine home! Weird or wa?!;)

About four years ago when I was 18 I was out with a couple of guys who did graffiti. We were coming home through an industrial estate when one of the lads started speaking in German randomly. Now this is not weird in itself, but he had a weird glaze in his eye, and of course he did not speak German. When he snapped out he started crying because he was convinced something terrible had happened to him. It took us a while to calm him down. The guy was a tee-totaller, and I'd spent the last few hours with him sober. It was just plain eerie the way he turned even though it was but for a few seconds.

Other weird things are seeing a 30 year old man getting stuck into what looked like a 12 year old girl on holiday, watching Spanish police beat the **** out of a guy who had his radio robbed, and all manner of people going AWOL in the head on drugs.

Poor guy, but an odd situation.

if its a kinda homeless bloke in a wheel chair , 40ish years old,........ i too seen him try to slash his wrists outside the gates of stephens green.
he finished his bottle of whyskey and smashed it off the rails, where he then began to slash away hard at his arms.
an onlooker tried to take the bottle off him and the disabled guy started lashing out with the broken glass bottle. eventually a guy kicked it clean out of his hands and the homeless bloke broke down in tears of depression.
this all happen with about half a dozen total knackers slagging off the victim.

an ambulance came , wrapped up his arms in bandages and left him there on the street.
i went home and cried that day,..... 16 years old.

well that would be odd, why would he be walkin down the road in his dressing gown, but carrying some one elses slippers, and not wearing them because they were someone else,

I guess we have come to the conclusion that he was bringing these slippers to their rightful owner??

When I was about 10 or so I went on a school tour to a butterfly farm(I'm sure lots of you have been). There was a field beside it where there was a load of frogs running around. Anyways this kid in my class, I can't remember his name now, swallowed a live frog whole, didn't chew it or anything, just put it in his mouth an swallowed it. That was pretty fukked up alright.

Another thing that happened ther last weekend, wasn't wierd so much as amusing. I was in a flat with a few lithuanian friends of mine and we decided to order out, so the lithuaninan girl who owened the flat rang up tp macaris. A chinese girl was working the phone there, the reception was loud enough so we could here the conversation. Both the lithuanina girl and the chinese girl had very thick chinese and lithuanian accents and the lithuanina girl proceded to try and pronounce italian words in a lithuanian accent to a chinese girl, maybe you had to be there, but I had to laugh.

Dunno if this is the weirdest thing but it's the first thing that comes to mind........

Last summer while driving in the North, between Limavady and Coleraine, a rabbit fell out of the sky and landed on the road about 15-20 meters in front of me. It scared the bejaysus outta me and my dad (in the passenger seat). We came to the conclusion that it was probably a buzzard or some other type of hawk, carrying its prey and accidently dropping it.

The switch may have been in 'neutral' and eventually clicked.
