Irish authorities investigate UFO sightings by commercial pilots

BA and Virgin pilots report seeing bright lights that disappeared at high speed

The Irish Aviation Authority is investigating after an unidentified flying object was sighted by pilots flying over Ireland.

On the morning of 9 November the pilot of British Airways flight BA94 from Montreal called air traffic control in Shannon to report seeing an object moving past her aircraft, and asked if there were any military exercises taking place off the west coast of Ireland.

“It was moving so fast,” she said. “It came up on our left-hand side and then rapidly veered to the north. It was a very bright light that disappeared at very high speed.”

According to a recording of the conversation by Airlive, a site for enthusiasts, the pilot was told there were no military exercises in the area. “There’s nothing showing on either primary or secondary [radar],” air traffic control said, according to the report.

Ireland could affect tourist-trade in our state, with this kind of report! Everyone knows Roswell, New Mexico has the interplanetary franchise on UFOs.
