UFO Sighting in Ireland
Date: February 2017
Location: Sallins, Kildare, Ireland
A few years ago, my ex-girlfriend, a couple of friends, and I were taking a late evening stroll with a friend’s dog along a canal near Sallins. My friend, who had previously served in the FCA (army reserves), insisted that if we allowed our eyes to adjust to the darkness, we could see much better.
As we wandered about a kilometer from his house, we looked up to notice a large triangular object hovering above us, marked by three lights—one at each corner. The area was completely devoid of artificial light, allowing us to distinguish its shape and outline quite clearly. It wasn’t emitting any glow.
The object remained suspended above us for what felt like over a minute, completely silent and seemingly devoid of any smoke or other emissions.
I felt an internal surge of fear but chose to keep my thoughts to myself.
The strange encounter was fleeting, and I distinctly remember how quickly it vanished. A heavy silence fell over us as we walked back, each of us lost in our own thoughts. We didn’t discuss it and can’t recall hearing it leave. The walk back was a quiet one, filled with an unspoken sense of awe and confusion.
That sounds like a really intense experience! Witnessing something like that can be pretty unsettling, especially when it’s so unconventional. The triangular shape and the lack of noise definitely add to the mystery of what you saw. It’s interesting how you and your friends reacted—being quiet and processing it in silence speaks volumes about how impactful the sighting was for all of you.
Have any of you discussed it since then? Experiences like these often stick with people, and it might be interesting to see if your friends remember it the same way or have different thoughts about it now. Also, have you looked into any similar sightings in the area? It could be fascinating to see if others had similar experiences or if there’s any history of UFO sightings in Kildare!
