    Was in the Dun Laoghaire/Sandycove area about a week ago and made an awful racket, got me out of bed at around 1am and just kept circling for the best part of an hour.......at one stage it was over my house for several minutes.....thought the commando's were gonna land on the roof!!!:eek:

    It didn't seem to have the spot light underneath like they use when searching for someone but more of a red flashing beam. I couldn't figure out what they were up to at all. Heard it the next night around the same time but seemed to be hovering around Dalkey/Killiney!! :confused:

    Spotlights are long gone and for good reason, they use thermal optics now I'm pretty sure. Easier to track a criminal than with a spotlight and it doesn't alert the criminal that he's being watched to the same extent.
