Reports of unexplained sightings in skies above Northern Ireland increase
From mysterious discs over Slemish Mountain in Co Antrim to strange images spotted on CCTV, unexplained sightings increased in Northern Ireland again last year.
In July, there was a report of “strange images” on closed-circuit television in a house in the Newtownabbey area and a dome-shaped object with eight lights in the sky reported in the Saintfield area. “It’s difficult to say what lies behind the small increase in sightings,” he told the PA news agency.
“This may make people more likely to report something unusual that they’ve seen, because it sends the message that the authorities take the matter seriously.”“Sadly, the numbers are still fairly low, and I suspect there’s chronic underreporting, perhaps because of the perceived stigma,” he said.
