Formation over Dublin (Ireland) · Ireland
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Putting out the bins at 07.10 looking up at a clear dark sky decided to get my glasses(short sighted).I first saw a bright dot travelling from north to south saying to myself thats a satellite.Next another one 3 seconds later and then for about 40 minutes in sequence a number of travelling dots(as high as a plane would travel)After every 5 or so there would be two dots travelling one behind the other and this happened about 3 times. I have never seen this before and just wondering what these could be , They didnt seem like planes too close together, satellites maybe, birds at that height i dont think so, very strange.

UFO sighting by a 48 year old sceptic Date Sunday 30 August 2020 Time 0130 +-15mins Location Dublin,Ireland Atmospheric conditions- exceptionally clear - thousands more stars were visible than normal. I live in a quiet suburb of Dublin, Ireland, in a house with a south facing garden. I am sceptical by nature, always seeking scientific explanations for anything unusual or unexplainable At approx 130am, while taking in the cat from our garden, I noticed the night sky was fantastically clear. The suburb I live in has dark skies (for a city) but that evening was crystal clear with thousands more stars visible than normal. After a minute or so looking up and admiring the unusually clear night sky. 6-8 lights in a fixed equidistant X shaped array passed overhead very quickly in a straight line on a direct West to East axis direction. The lights were about as bright as the stars, no brighter, so quite faint. No noise. Passed over very very quickly. About 2-3 seconds from visible horizon to horizon. Much Faster than a plane or satellite. Slower than a meteorite. And constant brightness (no flare or fade like a meteorite). Thought it might be a drone formation given the quick passover speed but it is quiet where we live and there was absolutely no noise so couldn’t be a drone or a plane. About a minute later two more similar lights passed overhead in an identical path and speed. Keeping same fixed distance between each other. Then approx a minute or two later, two more lights passed in same trajectory/speed, except this time one of the lights appeared to be dancing with the other - moving closer, further, closer from the other light, like it was playing with it! Never seen anything like it and got me thinking it was some kind of high altitude meteorological phenomena or hypersonic craft or satellite orbit but I watch the night skies frequently (very amateur astronomer) and I know a satellite flyby is much slower. I was amazed. And got me thinking perhaps Bob Lazar might actually be telling the truth! Were there any other sightings reported around that time? Happy to correspond by email

Sitting in the car with my friend when we saw 3 circler objects in the sky, they followed a few seconds after one another and seemed to hover up and move slowly with flashing lights underneath, no sound whatsoever, I’ve never seen anything like it, my boyfriend lives 20mins away and he has seen them also

We ding dong ditched his house loud enough to wake the whole estate and ran away thinking we were great. On the way home, we walked through another nearby housing estate. I noticed in the sky that there was a white, circular object flying slowly through the air, shining bright enough to be noticed but not so bright that if I'd told my friend "look at that" she'd see it instantly. It was a clear, starry night so I doubted she'd see it in time. I said nothing. It didn't fly steadily like a plane or helicopter. It was ebbing and flowing ever so slightly, coming from the right to the left. It went across the sky before disappearing in the most unusual way. Imagine a clock, with the hands both at twelve. In the space of two or three seconds, both hands went around the circle in a clockwise motion, with each section disappearing into black. The hands got to three, and so from twelve to three was black, and then they went to six, so from twelve to six was black. Once the hands got back to twelve the entire circle of light that had clumsily flown through the air had vanished, almost like boiled water turning into steam. It's something I only think of occasionally, sometimes when I'm walking through that same housing estate, but I thought it was worth reporting. I do believe I saw a UFO that night.
