Skywatchers invited to spot UFOs in Roscommon this weekend

Fancy an opportunity of spotting some alien life forms over Boyle skies?

Well, members of the public are being invited to gather for a skywatch in Lough Key Forest Park on Saturday evening by local UFO expert and astronomer Dr Eamon Ansboro.

Dr Ansboro will be hoping those in attendance will get an opportunity to marvel at extra terrestrial 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 also has 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.

Orbital tracking systems Dr Ansbro uses can indicate beforehand when these plasma orbs could appear in the skies and this Saturday between 5 and 7 p.m. will present a “strong window of opportunity” to spot UFO/UAPs above the lake.

He is inviting those who may be interested in the skywatch to meet him and his colleagues outside the Lough Key Forest & Activity Park visitor centre on Saturday at 5 p.m. for what could be a very unique evening.

Dr Ansboro’s years of research into establishing intelligent life in space is set to lead to even more exciting doors being open when it comes to making communication with these alien life forms.

“This is not just about proving their intelligence but it may lead us to the next step. We need to be looking into the communications because who are the pilots behind all this? If you have pilots behind this, they're intelligent,” he said.
