    Did any of you see this?

    My friend and I came out of college tonight at about 8.35. In the sky in the distance was a really weird shaped object moving upwards. It looked like a burst balloon floating upwards. It was black.

    We then realised it was moving across the sky towards us. We were outside Griffith college and it was coming from West to East.

    It kept changing shape as it moved towards us. Sometimes it looked like a saucer and other times it looked like stealth bomber. It kept changing shape.

    It was moving at a constant speed, quite fast. I would say we had about 30 seconds to watch it in total.

    It was making no noise and it was quite high up in the sky. It was about half the height of where a plane normally is.

    As it passed overhead, I could see it was shaped like a small safety pin. Again, it kept changing shape.

    It did not have wings or a long body.

    As it went passed us and off into the distance, it remained at the constant speed, and kept changing shape.

    By changing shape I mean if you could imagine holding a safety pin and moving it around.

    It definitely was not a plane. It was silent and moving quite fast.

    I do not believe in UFO's and I normally think people who do are crazy, but seriously, we both saw this and it was really freaky.

    Did anyone else see it?

    The direction was like it was from tallaght to ballsbridge.

    Not drinking or smoking! Totally sober and in a studying mood. My friend saw it as well. He was freaked.

    Honestly, I have no explanation for what we saw. Bizarre.

    I was expecting the OP to end with a bel air.

    To answer your question, no i didn't see it.

    Did you not use your mobile phones to take pictures or video?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,382 ✭✭✭✭AARRRGH


    I'll draw some pictures of it later and post them online.

    If you could imagine a stealth bomber flying overhead and wobbling/moving weirdly, you have an idea what it looked like.

    Does anyone know if stealth bombers make no noise? This thing was totally silent.

    It was moving in an exact straight line at a continuous speed. The wobbling was not making it change direction.

    Can you believe I thought I was filming but I actually had my phone on camera (not video.)

    Weather Balloon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,382 ✭✭✭✭AARRRGH


    No, it was definitely not a weather ballon. It was changing shape. Sometimes it was square.

    Is this a wind-up, dublindude?:)

    You've given me a few laughs the last few months...

    Stealth bombers make noise, a lot of noise. Saw one at an airshow in the states years ago.

    I'm not taking the mick here but myself and a good mate saw something very similar to what dublindude decribes, flying off the coast of Blackrock in Louth about 12 years ago...we'd had a few, but not that much and were sitting by the side of the road having a cigarette and we looked up and it's just sort of floated past...the sky was dark but the "plane" was darker in front of it, no real running lights, absolutely no noise and fom what we could gauge looked ot be about 30-40m long nad at a height of about 200m. We still talk about it the odd time, still no explanation for it and not the sort of thing you take up in normal conversatikon with anyone else, because you'll just get the usual responses and ridicule.

    Ah sure it's only visiters from the future. They keep to themselves.

    Could be a secret US military aircraft...

    If they can engineer something like this and its public imagine the cool secret sci fi goodies they have

    Obviously a it wouldn't make noise, that's why they're stealthy, they sneak up on you from 5 inches and break your neck with a choke hold, wait did you say Stealth Bomber, i thought you said you saw Solid Snake:rolleyes: my bad.

    Seriously though no a stealth bomber dosen't make any noise when flying nor would you be able to see one because they fly to far up, maybe you saw an American spy plane, any minute now the Americans will accuse us of having Weapons of Mass Destruction hidden in a field somewhere
