    This UFO was spotted Friday morning: https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/close-encounter-with-ufo-off-irish-coast-leaves-pilots-wondering-884774.html

    l was driving home at about 9.15-ish (PM) in pitch black in the middle of nowhere (near Granard, Longford), and I spot this light moving slowly, like a plane in the distance. I then catch it stopping, reversing direction and flying off faster than a concorde. Did I also see aliens?

    Granard is in Longford , that in itself is the explanation.

    Hmm frightening, I would take pilots and ATC reports on this seriously ...

    A lad rang into Today FM this morning to say he saw it in Roscommon.

    I'd say something like either natural phenomena like meteors entering the atmosphere at an odd angle, or space debris from something unannounced like a failed Chinese satellite or some old abandoned space junk falling to earth could explain it.

    I'd say if it were something like a Russian missile troll/test or something serious, it would have been picked up by ground radar here or definitely by UK military radar and other systems.

    Space junk reentering?

    I have never known a meteor to do this. If the pilot is genuinely reporting what she saw occurring then it was no meteor.

    Considering the Alien thing it’s possible or more “not impossible”. Remember the object that passed through the solar system earlier in the year has been classified as possibly and alien spacecraft.

    The thing that pisses me off is if that is true it seems we’re the backward low level species that the aliens with the cool tech are coming to look at like some sort of anthropological freak show, while they whizz round the galaxy with their FTL drives and death rays, meanwhile we have Donald Trump amd I have to work 39 hours a week at a pointless job :(

    Wasn't that a Vulcan starship on a survey mission? They observed Planet Earth and decided we were too primitive to be of interest to them. They are due back in 2063 at which time we may have invented warp drive spaceflight and there may be some sort of contact at that point.;)

    Possibly an alien spacecraft ? - based on pure conjecture, really like saying there could "possibly be an intelligent race in the alpha centauri star system".

    It's based on nothing.

    Why not?

    (Not saying it was or that I believe it was, but I'd love to know why you're so sure it wasn't)

    Occams razor really.

    The likelihood of it being something like meteors, high end military testing etc is far far far far far higher then it being Aliens.

    Look at the unimaginable distances involved to the closest star systems... why would they be arsed buzzing around our skies showing little hints of their existence ?
    If they could fly all that distance their tech. is vastly superior to ours and wouldn't be caught out by our ATC.

    At approximately 6.47am on November 9, the pilot of a British Airways flight, call sign Speedbird94, contacted Shannon Air Traffic Control (ATC) to ask if there were military exercises taking place in the airspace through which her Boeing 787 was passing.

    There were no military exercises underway.

    Shannon ATC replied: “There is nothing showing on either primary or secondary [radar].”

    The pilot responded: “OK. It was moving so fast.”

    The controller then asked: “Alongside you?”

    The BA pilot, flying from Montreal to Heathrow, describes how the UFO came up along the left-hand side of the aircraft, “then rapidly veered to the north”.

    She said it was “a very bright light” that “disappeared at very high speed”.

    So it headed north to Longford and Roscommon.

    Occams razor is a likelyhood - ie the solution with the least amount of assumptions MAY prove to be correct. Its not an absolute

    If it was high end military testing whose military and why were they in Irish airspace? (I think we can rule out the Irish military unless they have developed some top secret new technology.):rolleyes:
