The came in across the bay and alongside the mountain. I assume this would have been last Tuesday (20th May). I was sitting here at my desk all afternoon, with its picturesque view out into Sligo Bay. I believe I would have noticed these big buggers approaching. >>The hitchikers, and people who live on the side of the mountain were >>able to look down on the craft from above. Everybody said the triangle >>craft had no featers or markings on the top on them. If the people who live on the side of the mountain could look down on the craft, the craft had to be flying at around fifty feet from the ground, since Ben Bulben becomes almost vertical at around 100 feet. >>At one point they passed directly over the grave of the poet W. B. >>Yeats in Drumcliff churchyard. Cars were stopping by the side of the >>road as drivers got out to look at the three craft. Yeah Yeah, the one place in Sligo that would be recognised world wide. >>My mother said that all at once the craft dissapered. Within an hour >>Irish Police and Army helicopters were all over the place. The major >>Irish newsmedia did not report ths story only the small local papers. Neither of the local papers reported anything, and the only army I've seen in Sligo in the last ten years were escorting money from the banks (our more patriotic brethern have some antisocial fundraising habits). OK? Have I dealt with this one? Joe. (who isn't going to get any work done next week 'cos he'll be staring out at the bay... waiting) _______________________________________________________ Joe Harte Barroe, Phone 071 46885 Sligo, Mobile 088 517926 Ireland. e-mail joeharte@iol.ie _______________________________________________________
