5-6 HUGE UFO'S-BALLS OF LIGHT/ORANGE-SEEN IN CO. DOWN N. IRELAND


MANY residents in County Down witnessed the UFO display/spectacle



*'Sweeps' Note:
Well...these Skywatching sightings were observed by many people from various locations/angles on Saturday the 12...in the late evening hours. Today-Sunday...I had to stay glued to the desk...my phone/answering service/and E-mails were humming from reports by witnesses and 'concerned' citizens. I kid you not. They ALL...who saw them...consistently 'gave 5 bright lights in the sky. The BBC News account in the LINK below...didn't follow up, have anyone on the ground, or get witness statements. Typical. We are still trying to 'Connect the dots/put the pieces together...and get all the corroborative evidence...and hopefully someone took Photos. This is NOT infrequent around these parts. Thanks/'S'

*UPDATE...Finally a few days after this Topic was started, BBC investigated further. See below/'S'

Hi m8, hope all is well I was out at the cinema on Saturday night and my wife was waiting for one of my sons to come home.
At around 11.30pm my son came running into the house shouting that there was a "UFO in the sky", with that Jennifer, Aaron went outside and stood with my sons friend and parents watching the UFO.
Aarons friend said they say 5 or 6 lights and had been watching them for over 15 minuets, the 5 of them stood for another 5 to 10 mins watching the lights until they faded and went out.
The lights were high in the sky, (not sure what height), there were at lease 5 or 6 yellow lights, they did not flicker but were steady, but slowly moved in a South Westerly direction.
Jennifer said the lights did not look like flares or candles, if you hear any thing else about it m8 please let me know, it is on BBC1 news tonight (Monday).

Residents in County Down have raised the possibility of a UFO sighting above the skies of Bangor.
Several callers to BBC Northern Ireland have reported a series of strange orange lights in the night sky.
Air traffic control at Belfast International Airport said it had also received reports about the sightings, including one from the Coastguard.

However, the airport said it had no record of any aircraft in the sky at the time.
The callers said the sightings had been made on Saturday evening.

Clifford Rossbottom from Bangor told the BBC: "There were three orange globes - nearly in a straight line - they were an absolutely fascinating sight.

‘I watched them for five minutes, and then very slowly, they just disappeared’.
‘The only thing I thought it could have been was three high-flying aircraft’.
‘If that is not the case, then I have no idea, and the only other thing I can think of is in fact that they were UFOs’.

*Hello guests/members,
I've edited this initial vague report...to reflect the higher importance...and the lack of good investigation by 'Authorities' on this 'Sighting'...by MANY Persons. Will follow up when information/interviews can be better consolidated. BUT...I have no doubts that, from ALL the reports to myself which coincided, that something significant was seen by multiple witnesses from different locations in the Co. Down, N. Ireland area. People 'calling in' said that they had seen the Lights-variously-from 5 to 10 minutes...and then they sudenly 'Vanished'. Thanks/'Sweeps'

Hi Sweeps

I've searched all the local media web sites, no one in the local area seems to be covering this sighting. Why? It was a mutiple sighting the authorities should be investigating this in accordance of national security.

Are the authorities releasing any information regarding radar picking up the objects?

*Morning Morph,
I never wait on 'Authorities'...we have 16 confirmed 'witnesses' from that area...with corroborating stories/accounts. MI5 has been in the area..news 'blacked out'. Not uncommon. Media takes their orders.
*This is Funny...below, from one of our correspondents on the scene:
Clifford Rossbottom
if ever I heard MI5 taking the piss....

*Guess that says it pretty well/'S' :lol:

*Very good,
YEP...'The Belfast Telegraph' is one of the very few 'Papers' which will VENTURE into these things. I've had several write ups/photos from Sightings in that paper...by various 'right on' Reporters.
Thanks for that follow up Morph/'S' :lol:

Morning Sweeps

16 witnesses, wow! And Mi5 in the area! This sighting has been taken serious.

I hope one of the witnesses gets in contact and gives you an exclusive. However, I'll keep checking the local rags in case a witness gives an interview.

*Yeah Morph,
Aware of that. NOW...maybe Nick Pope had a word with BBC/Coast Guard huh? :lol:
Nah...but 'bet your boots'...when Major Media 'climbs on board'...or the Coast Guard with 'Who knows...but definitely UNKNOWNS', we can suspect it's part of 'the slow road of Public Acclimation...towards a preparing Disclosure at the time of 'THEIR' choosing. Interesting...and thanks for the CLIP. Big Help for people wanting to 'find out' or just get in 'Line' about the whole UFO Reality globally. Best/'Sweeps'

In the not to distant future the mainstream media will have no choice about covering the UFO phenomena. In fact it will be headlines around the world. That day is coming, trust me. Im going to sit back and enjoy the moment of revelation sipping on my single malt and smoking my King Eddy cigar sniggering at all those that doubted me.

*Well Morph,
...Don't look now, but all the 'Disinformationists' are coming out of the woodworks on this one...AGAIN!
*Now ASTRONOMERS in Antrim are saying...they didn't think this was Real'...because THEY didn't see anything...and they THINK they know the guy behind the Hoax...with balloons!
On the other hand...Well to keep in mind'...ASTRONOMERS don't look for UFO's. We'll follow this up don't worry....but 16 witnesses say the 'LIGHTS' Morphed/changed shapes....and vanished later 'Like greazed lightening'. Many other observed 'signs'...but we'll hold them in reserve as ammunition for further Disinfo agents. AND what were MI5 doing 'on the ground' then? I mean....
Otherwise I'll join you in 'Sipping'...but I'll have my Havana Cigar...Want one/ Best/'Sweeps'

Astronomers don't think it was real because they didn't see anything, ware they looking in the same direction as the 16 other witnesses...and balloons morphing and changing shape is a new for me.

And yes, what was MI5 doing on the ground, that is most interesting. Wait I've got it, was they looking for the Astronomers to debrief :lol:
