UFO red, 19:45 today, Corbally!

Travelling northwest across Corbally tonight, first I thought it was a firework, then I thought a drone.... but it just kept going! Only seemed to be a few hundred feet up....no sound though. :eek:

I'm still going to the pub even if the Russians are coming

Anyone else see it?

Sounds more like it's time to head home from the pub.

No point discussing it further so. I bet ye had at least 2 smartphone's at your disposal also.
I always wonder why there are no pics to these stories??
Baffling how people react??
Never happened me but I'd hope I'd have the presence of mind to document what could possibly be a big story.
Nevermind.
Maybe next time eh!!

Last time this happened it was those bloody Chinese lantern yokes.

Saw lads flying a drone at the back of Arthur's Qua Wednesday evening.

Green and red lights on it

I had dismissed drone because I thought the domestic ones only had a range as far as you can see or so, this was travelling some distance.

Drone it was then. I can understand why the legislation governing use is needed, if you had 10 lads at the same thing, mid air collisions etc. as well as bewildered local residents ;-)

Consumer drones these days have ranges up to 7km.

That's not what I use mine for buy it's conceivable. Illegal though. Can't fly your drone more than 1km away and out of line if sight I believe. Also a drone is not quiet.
