location: Curlew Mountains, Co. Roscommon,
Connacht, Ireland
date: May15 --1997
time: 3am
sighting: It happened at 3am on a May morning
this year. There were a few campers camping out
at the foot of the Curlew mounts. suddenly they
were awoke by the sound of what seemed like an
explosion, further up the mountain;in a wooded
area. Some campers said they heard a silent
humming sound before the "bang". Some of them
decided to go up to where they heard the noise.
They thought that might have been a plane or
helicopter after crashing, but when they reached
the scene, they found that the tops wre burnt
off the top of the trees there, and some had
been knocked also. They found no aircraft or
anything for that matter and was a mystery to
them all. They reported this to the Gardai in a
nearby village or town and the only routes into
the camping area were sealed off , and even for
six months after!! IUFOPRA (Ireland UFO and
Paramormal Research Association), came to have a
look but were not allowed in. The people gaurding
the area said nothing when asked what was going on
and US Military jeeps were also driving in and
around the area. Reports by a lot of locals and
otheres siad that there was Convert Military
Operations being carried out. Also, and two huts
were erected on part of the Mountain range, with
a bunch of long antennes coming from them. There
was also some reported "unusual" sightings of UFO's
by locals, before all this even happened. Weird!!
IUFOPRA sent for a US UFO team to come in and probe
the area, since they had better equipment. They
siad that they would have an update on th results of
the probe at a Conference in Dublin, Nov.2 1997--but
I found nothing on it yet. Nobody knows what hit the
mountain, but my guess was that it must have been a
UFO. I will write back when know more myself. You
can find at bit more at the IUFOPRA website.
