    Ok, this sounds a bit crazy but here I am sitting in my gaff in Portarlington when I suddenly hear an aeroplane noise, a rather low one at that buzz over my house. I peek out the window and I see this object doing crazy manoeuvres in the sky. With it being dark I couldn't I.D. it very well but it had marker lights on it. After doing a few very tight circles over the southern end of Portarlington it went off in a NW direction. Did anybody else see it / anybody know what it was?

    This happened at 21.15 tonight.

    Enterprise.

    I saw it too but I thought I saw two objects and they came for close at one point. I'm glad someone else saw it, I thought I was loosing it and needless to say when I said it to the missus she just looked at me strangely.

    Looking at previous posts I would probably agree that it was the new Garda Copter being shown the ropes by the old one.

    After looking at the manifest, that was just tests of the new LNA RG-X14, new unmanned high speed recon jet.
    Were hoping to start mass production by may, pending our tests on the implications of the g's involved on the sensory equipment we are working with.
    So far it seems ok, spoke to the head last night, he thinks we have a problem with, primitively enough, camera mounts, which are then moving other components out of place.
