White Circular Light Starts Zig Zagging Over Lifford Co Donegal Ireland

 

Date:  September 10, 2009

Time:  20:30 - 20:50

 

Hi, I came across this sight by Googling, "white circles of light over Donegal", so I've decided to report what we seen also.

 

White circular light moving very strangely. Myself and my fiancé were looking at Jupiter through our amateur telescope when we noticed a very bright star directly above us, much brighter than Jupiter. We instantly thought it must be the space station as we had heard it was passing over Ireland a few weeks before, but as we watched the light it started to move slowly in a southerly direction towards the horizon.

 

Then moved to the west slightly, then east where it stopped and started zig-zagging to the south. It then stopped for say thirty seconds or longer, then moved back east again, zig-zagged again and stopped. It then moved steadily north and out of sight.

 

I actually managed to track it for a moment with the telescope and it just looked like a little circle of white light, much like Jupiter but much brighter. We are both perplexed by what we saw and I would have thought I was seeing things had my fiancé not also witnessed it.

 

I've never seen a UFO before, and I must say it didn't sit too well with me.

Zig Zagging Object Over County Donegal Ireland

 

Date:  November 2011 (?)

Time:  Evening.

 

Hello there, recently my partner and I were in County Donegal with his 5 year old daughter. We went out for a walk, not very late at night. We all saw (all three of us) what you described, to the point of, the little one freaked out and started screaming.

 

My partner and I on the other hand, were totally in awe of this! Can you tell me anymore.

Leenan Fort, County Donegal Ireland A Bright White Circular Object

Posted: January 26, 2009

Date: September 9, 2008
Time: 20:05 - 20:40

Number of witnesses: 4
Number of objects: 1 with flashes.
Shape of objects: Circular.
Weather Conditions: Clear.

Description: On a drive with a few friends we decided to stop at Leenan Fort, Donegal just before dusk and decided to sit on the highest lookout point facing n/ne. We lay on the concrete as it got darker and watched the stars appear, then my friend said "look how bright that star is....wait is that moving", we then lay there watching this bright white circular object which was at great height (it just looked as bright as Venus in the winter) move north, stop, move south. Stop, ziz-zag north again, and then move in a semi circle back to its original spot. It did this about 8 times taking about 5 minutes to do its display each time, before stopping and moving at speed south before stopping again, about 5 seconds after it stopped, a flash was seen just in front of it, then another a bit away, then another further away, the light then started to move back and forth from north to south, then stopped.

One of our friends was very creeped out and decided to ring the Garda and tell them, although they suggested ringing an observatory. As my friend became more anxious we started to leave the lookout, as we were walking from the lookout the object seemed to become a lot more brighter. We all became very nervous, but then the object flew off at great speed towards the north/northeast direction towards open water. I mean it went so quick it was very scary, after about 2 minutes of very very quick walking we returned to the jeep and as we were about to get in we noticed a normal run of the mill satellite in the sky headed in the direction of where the object was, we knew it was a satellite because of the maintained speed and size, as we seen the satellite so shortly after it was easy to know this object from before wasn't anything any of us had seen before and to be honest, I was so uncomfortable that I don't know I'd wanna see it again.

I've seen a lot of stars, and a lot of satellites growing up as my mother is a somewhat amateur astrologist (astronomer?), and this was nothing like what I've seen before. The day later I tried to phone the Armagh Planetarium, but I got an automated response of opening times. Thanks.
