Skywatchers invited to spot UFOs in west of Ireland

Members of the public across the west of Ireland being invited to gather for a skywatch in Lough Key Forest Park on tomorrow (Saturday) evening by local UFO expert and astronomer Dr Eamon Ansboro.

According to the Roscommon Herald, Dr. Ansboro will be hoping those in attendance will get an opportunity to marvel at extraterrestrial phenomena hovering over Boyle skies.

Many are skeptical about UFOs but the Boyle astronomer has spent 30 years gathering hard data on intelligent life forms beyond our planet, with his research appearing in many scientific journals over this time.

He has also presented his work to noted organisations such as the American Geophysical Union and will be presenting to the International Astronomical Union in Paris early next year.

Using sophisticated instrumentation involving cameras and tracking systems, he has detected 40 unusual aerial sightings in north Roscommon over the last 20 years.

The scenic surrounds of the Lough Key waters in particular, have become something of a hotspot for these plasma orbs, which can be anything from one metre up to five metres in diameter.

“Usually when they happen in Lough Key, they happen above the lake and they come in different flavours.

"We have shown that there is a DNA connection here - it's a living sort of system in itself. It's intelligent. That's all we know,” he explained to Ros FM Radio.
