Could Waterford be Ireland’s answer to Roswell?!
It seems something odd has been happening in the skies above The Déise over the past twelve months.
Following last October's bizarre UFO sighting over Ferrybank comes another reported sighting from 2020.
A brief released by The National UFO Reporting Centre details a sighting by a Waterford man from June 24th, 2020 which lasted for two and a half hours.
In the report, the amateur astronomer reports that he saw "3 bright lights connected together as a triangle" shortly before midnight.
The report goes on to state the lights "zig-zagged across the sky at about 100 [mph] or more, covering vast distances quickly" before stopping only to suddenly speed up again.
The sighting, which was made by telescope, "covered [a] vast distance at least 200 square miles.
"What I [have] seen could not have been mistaken for anything else, I could not believe how irate and erratic the object was", he noted.
Second UFO Sighting
Perhaps the clearest sighting of a UFO over Waterford came last October, when a Beat listener caught flashing lights in the skies above her home at Clover Meadows estate around 8 pm on October 8th, 2020.
The white flashing ‘globes’ can be seen darting and dimming randomly across the sky before slowing down midway through.
Speaking to Beat, the listener said she was watching TV in her sitting room when she noticed a “luminous object reflecting off the kitchen door.”
“We ran out to the back garden and there was this silent, luminous and very fast object in the sky”, she said.
“Because it was moving fast I thought I needed to go up to my bedroom window as not to lose sight of it.”
She went on to tell Beat that she was recording the footage on her phone from her bedroom when the flashing orb “split into two luminous objects.”
The ‘UFOs’ are believed to have hung around for at least another 40 minutes.
So, what do you make of it? Is there a scientific explanation? Did you see something strange in the skies above Waterford recently?
