    Could be that the aliens created us and they come and check in now and again - and quickly leave...

    that, I don't know, although if I had to guess if you're going mach 5+ (which this thing supposedly is capable of) you'd be out of isolated airspace quick enough.

    People seem to forget that the SR-71 first flew in 1964!!!! and that was capable of Mach 3 and beyond

    You will still make a racket from smashing the sound barrier which would have been audible in the civilian aircraft ,
    And to anyone in the vacinity be it on water or land

    In saying the original SR71 could launch its own drone that flew just as fast if not faster that the original blackbird ,

    Rendlesham was audio recorded in real time as it happened. Col Halt (deputy commander) brought a tape recorder with him, unfortunately, it only ran for a certain time. You hear the men in 1980 describing events in real time. Clear evidence it was not faked. Radar station nearby also picked up multiple unknown objects coming in from the coastline.

    The recording from 1980


    According to Larry Warren`s book "Left at East Gate" and also in any of his public talks about the Rendelsham Forest incident, a lot more happened than what is referred to above.

    When I was younger I was into UFOs, one book I read made the claim that someone saw an alien hovering around the craft.
    The thing is that this brings all sorts out of the wood work and there is a lot of chaff to go through.

    That would be Larry Warren and he claims that he saw not just one alien being hovering around the craft but three of them.:eek:

    Have you ever seen the northern lights, do you even know what they look like? How could anyone mistake a small bright moving light/object for the northern lights.... :rolleyes:


    /facepalm. the number of experts who are speaking complete and utter s****e astounds me.



    A rocket that launched 2 days later, and the northern lights, oh and meteors ... that .... uh ... veer north and accelerate upwards - (nods gently ... riiiight.... ok ...... )



    hmm, might as well throw in a weather balloon or 2, for good measure -- dont worry about the "swamp gas" there is enough of it floating merrily out of their cake holes :)


    oh FFS ...... lets just accept the fact that unusual things are seen. that cannot be explained.



    I mean I absolutely agree, be skeptical, always. But dont fit a square peg in a round hole ... 95% of sightings are mis-identified aircraft, weather phenomenon, lenticular clouds, the planet venus or other natural phenomenon ..



    But there are around 5% ... yep 5% people, that just deny any logical explanation. These are seen by pilots, and military personnel, and are generally witnessed travelling faster than anything that we know of, and pulling extreme manoeuvres, that would not be healthy for any pilot.


    so lets just get over the fact, that these things exist. - lets also state that nowhere have I said they are "alien" or little green men. Truth is we have absolutely no idea what they are, who is driving them, or what their intentions are.



    And that will remain, until we shake off the tinfoil hat stigma, open our minds and start to have a serious mainstraeam conversation on the topic whereby we examine the data points and let it lead us where it may.

    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?

    I didn't just see it - I was in it!

    Naanoo Naanoo!

    Col Halt described Larry account as fiction. I wasn't there to know but Col Halt has always claimed Larry lied.

    He believes Jim Penniston and John Burroughs. Though he does state they were interrogated by officials who arrived at the base. There were even rumours they were given truth serum to retrieve information.

    Jim Penniston later claimed years later they are not aliens but time travellers from a far future. That what he believes true or not

    The incident happened what it was nobody truly knows. 30 army personnel witnessed it off base on base. There were reports of a craft over the base and lights beaming down into storage hanger that kept nuclear weapons. This is still classified even today nuclear weapons were stored at this base in the UK.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭Cheerful Spring


    I posted this in the conspiracy forum, not here. Sony is about to make a film about this event.

    The series, which is a co-production between Sony Pictures Television and Eleventh Hour Films, the UK indie that the Hollywood studio owns a stake in, is an eight-part drama is inspired by a “real-life” UFO incident, which took place at a US air base close to the village of Rendlesham, Suffolk in 1980.

    Laurence Fishburne is to star in and exec produce Sony’s anthology UFO drama series Rendlesham.

    Probably by Luiz Elizonda who ran the Pentagon UFO project? He likely had access to classified files about the incident?

    They recently showed a still picture of a metal that might be from a UFO. It stored in a warehouse somewhere in Las Vegas.

    You see it here.

    This is still classified even today nuclear weapons were stored at this base in the UK.

    Its common knowledge that most RAF non QRA bases held nuclear weapons.

    Any base that had Phantoms, Nimrods, Jaguars, Tornados or Buccaners had a stock of low yield battlefield nukes.

    Nothing secret or classified about it.

    UK and US have never admitted nuclear weapons were stored at this Nato base. It was a secret in 1980's. Probably few people even knew that was the case back then. Even today Col Halt will not speak about it.

    It might because they were American nuclear weapons stored on British soil?

    Appears so.

    The US government or military has supposed alien metal but he can't show that off as it classified material?

    I not sure if that metal came from a classified project?

    He wont speak as he would be breaking the Official Secrets Act.

    They were American "NATO use" weapons. The bombs were stored at the airfields but the fuses remained under lock and key by the US.

    They were for use by the RAF. A similar arrangement existed with the Luftwaffe.

    The only exception as far as I know were the nuclear depth charges used by the Nimrods and Royal Navy aircraft. They were 100% under UK control.

    On the contrary, I'd say the fact that the had a take recorder with them adds to the likelyhood of it being a hoax. Who the hell brings tape recorder around with them? Why would they bring it unless they knew that they were going to see something and that they wanted to plan to get evidence?


  • Registered Users Posts: 70 ✭✭Ninjamonkey


    So this footage was recorded on a Dashcam, at Colraine , Northen Ireland, at 06:44 last Friday morning. 3 minutes before the pilots reported the sighting over kerry.

    https://inews.co.uk/video/ufo-video-northern-ireland-irish-sea-sightings-investigation/

    from Coleraine to Kerry in 3 minutes ... impressive !


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,619 ✭✭✭erica74


    Maybe the governments release enough information from "experts" and the like so as to discredit anyone who has seen an alien being or had an alien encounter in order to keep the secret and ensure that people who do talk about encounters are immediately seen as "crazy".

    I just can't believe that we are all that's out there, that Earth is the only inhabited planet, that Earth is the only inhabitable planet, it just makes no sense to me. Just because *insert name of planet or star* isn't suitable for sustaining human life, that doesn't mean it can't sustain any life. I think we need to get out of the mindset of species like ourselves and open our minds to many different species wildly different to us, maybe a species that doesn't breath air like us, a species that doesn't have organs like us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,170 ✭✭✭✭josip


    That Coleraine article again referred to the pilot's description of the speed as 'astronomical', even though it was only estimated at Mach 2.
    Astronomical to me would be much faster.
    Even our old earth tech Apollo managed the equivalent of Mach 30.

    I think it's entirely likely that there is other life out there, there are an estimated 2 trillion galaxies just in the observable universe....

    The numbers are absolutely mind boggling and the idea that there is no other life out there in my mind only makes sense from a very staunch religious point of view, ie. there is a god and he's created all of this just for us.

    Which is think is a very odd point of view.

    Having said that, while I think it's almost a certainty there is other life out there....having the technology to travel from where ever they may to come visit us is an entirely different matter of course.

    Then again....

    There is also the issue of time

    other life may evolve long after Earth is dead

    or perhaps existed before we came along but died out due to disaster or otherwise

    "Astronomical" in the sense of the pilot describing something that was travelling much faster than a civilian aircraft would be capable of.
    The Apollo, Gemini, Shuttle etc. spacecraft reached the above mentioned speeds in Earth orbit or in outer space, not at the altitudes that civilian aircraft would be flying in.

    For anyone who believes that UFOs are Aliens here a simple question
    Why do they always have lights that are ver yrbight ?
    Planes don't need head lights they can see cause the ground is lite up by buildings, roads and so on, They only have little lights so other planes can see them .

    Space ships don't need head lights as space is bright you can see what's in front of you ?

    So why would an Alien craft need lights ? and even more so if they want to be unseen why would they have there lights on all the time ?

    Make zero sense ,

    If they were in fact in fact aliens, your post makes no sense. Nobody knows anything about Aliens or how they function. You're assuming they function in the same way we do, which if they are travelling hyper dimensionally, then they clearly don't.

    Or maybe they wanted to be seen for that few seconds?

    Don't buy , if you can travel through your hyper dimension surely your clever enough to not leave your lights on when there trying to be not seen,

    If they wana be seen why are they always lightjust seen in a distance why not fly right beside the plane , why not land ? why not hover above a city, Why is it always I seen this thing and then it zoom off cause I seen it,

    Nonsense that's why its all nosense,

    The bright light could be related to the propulsion system of the craft.

    Glad to know you are an expert on the design of alien craft and also the motivation of alien visits.

    Hard to be an expert in something that hasn't happened , Lets be fair there are no Alien visits ,

    There is no concrete evidence and there for I refuse to believe it to be true,
    I wouldn't convict you of murder with no evidence so why would I believe in Aliens with no hard evidence ,

    Possible there is life on other planets but why would they have to have space ships ,
    Here's a question what came first the fiction of Aliens in space ships or Alien "craft " sighting ?

    it was the fiction ,so that where the concept came from our own heads, Basically if there are Alien life forms of some kind (which id say there is) what are the chances they are the same as our fiction of Alien life forms and space crafts ,ITs nonsense,

    When I mentioned lights you said why would I assume they function like we do,
    So why would you assume they travel and think as we do ?
    O
    h oh sorry cause now it suits your argument about something that has zero evidence,

    What about the Lough Ness monster and Big foot I suppose there real to, there has been sightings you know , and sure why not ghosts there real to as people have seen them

    Its nonsense and fairy tales created by humans that then people pretend are real

    Read a post on Reddit about a US aircraft carrier in the Atlantic carrying F35s which I think he mentioned have been newly set up for craft launch.

    And of course it being American and not Russian, well, we don't want to draw attention to our friends. So it may be a boring answer but most likely.

    Only just spotted this thread. My wife and I watched this thing in Co. Wicklow. Dark night, almost no light pollution, and I'd been watching a plane fly over when I spotted the little orange light moving from the same direction as the where space station sits directly northward. At first I assumed it was a satellite as we can regularly see those but then it accelerated like nothing I've ever seen and left the plane (high level commercial jet) for dust in comparison.

    The phrase I used to my wife was: "what kind of crazy military **** was that?!" - it was fast, really really fast and with the acceleration, deceleration, consistency of appearance and minor changes of direction, there's no way was it a meteor.

    My theory is high-level drone but the speed was unnerving, it made the commercial jet look like an early biplane.
