UFO Over Dublin...Apparently

**VIDEO IN LINK**

From the Sun.....

AMAZING footage of a UFO has been taken in Ireland - as The Sun re-launches the nation's X-Files.
A triangular formation of lights was filmed flying at night at "incredible speed".

Experts reckon the sighting near the River Liffey in Dublin could be a secret aircraft - or spacecraft.

Nick Pope, who probed mystery sightings for the MoD for three years, said: "The video seems to have been taken through a night scope and presumably shows things not visible to the naked eye.

"It appears to show a structured craft moving at incredible speed. The configuration of the lights is unlike any aircraft I've ever seen.

"It's either some secret prototype aircraft or drone, or something considerably more exotic."

Any sightings in Britain will NOT be officially recorded because the MoD last month axed the department probing mystery threats. Chiefs branded the £50,000-a-year department an "inappropriate use of defence resources". It came despite the near TRIPLING of alleged UFOs between 2008 and last year's 643.

The Sun will pick up the baton, and release a rundown of your sightings, like the MoD used to.

Nick said: "The MoD's decision was bizarre. While I'm sure they'll investigate sightings from pilots and anything unusual on radar, the public had nowhere to go. There's massive public interest in this issue. If there's something unusual in our skies, we need to know or we could be leaving ourselves open to terrorist attack."

The MoD defended its decision to shut the UFO division.

A spokesman said: "We do not feel there is any military value in reviewing the public's sightings."

Similar views are being seen all over the place. Friend of mine who lives on the Austrian/Czech bordes has described something very similar a while ago. It was a larger triangle, but it changed the lights/craft in formation. The light from the end moved to the leading place and vice versa, something like the wild geese do.

The CAF didn't take off in this occasion, but aparently Austrians were chasing that object/s with 2 a/c and were flying around for a while after it dissapeard.

Wonder, would PC9 be up the challenge

There seems to be  no reference to altitude so it could be a UAV if it is high altitude  the only aircraft i could think of is a Rockwell B1 Lancer which is supersonic  the design closely resembles a swept wing type of aircraft but if then you would get the “sonic boom “ normally associated with  supersonic  aircraft.

 But then isn’t there restrictions imposed on supersonic aircraft flying over populated areas?

Interesting! Does the Air Corps/DoD investigate such sightings? I recall an AC officer speaking on The Pat Kenny radio show a few years ago when a similar sighting was reported.

Yep it just doesnt happen full stop. Other forums are saying its a model aircraft as its too much "right time-right place" with NVE Equipment..
