Skywatchers invited to spot UFOs in Roscommon this weekend

The public is being invited to gather for a skywatch in Lough Key Forest Park on Saturday evening by local UFO expert and astronomer Dr Eamon Ansboro.
As the Roscommon Herald reports, 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 or UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) - as Dr Ansboro prefers to call them - but the Boyle astronomer has spent thirty 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.
One area that has particularly interested him is the presence of “plasma orbs” which are seen all over the world and have been noticed by NASA in their feeds from the International Space Station.
Speaking on Ros Fm Radio recently, Dr Ansboro explained that he had co-authored a paper two years ago which “got 150,000 reads by scientists”, showing that there is some form of intelligence behind these orbs.
The high frequency of these orbs and other UFOs over Boyle skies prompted Dr Ansboro to move to the area several years ago to set up an observatory in nearby Kingsland.
Using sophisticated instrumentation involving cameras and tracking systems, he has detected 40 unusual aerial sightings in North Roscommon over the last twenty 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.
