I find myself reflecting on it almost daily and feel compelled to share my experience beyond my immediate circle of friends.<\/p>\n<p>It occurred in March while I was visiting family in Connemara from Cork. Around 1am, just before heading to bed, I decided to step outside and enjoy the clear night sky. Living in Cork, I seldom get to appreciate the stars as vividly as in Connemara, where the absence of light pollution creates a stunning view. The sky was perfectly clear, devoid of clouds, and the world was enveloped in silence. <\/p>\n<p>As I gazed up, I noticed a bright red object in the southern sky. Curious, I fetched my 400mm Sony mirrorless camera, set it up on a tripod, and zoomed in. Initially, I assumed it was just another star\u2014nothing out of the ordinary. But just as I was about to set my camera down, something caught my eye in my peripheral vision.<\/p>\n<p>To my right, I spotted a large craft gliding silently through the sky, adorned with rotating blue lights beneath it. The lights illuminated a saucer-shaped structure, but the top remained shrouded in darkness. I was completely taken aback\u2014my heart raced. In the moment, I tried to rationalize it, convincing myself it was the ISS. Yet, in hindsight, that explanation feels inadequate. I\u2019ve seen the ISS countless times, and it\u2019s merely a white dot moving across the heavens. This was different\u2014this was an intricate craft right before my eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Despite my fascination, instead of observing it further or grabbing a photo, I inexplicably packed up my camera and headed inside, leaving the craft still hovering in the sky. The next morning, I was stunned by my own response. Given my deep interest in such phenomena, I couldn\u2019t understand why I had walked away when my camera was set up and ready to capture it. It felt as if something beyond me had urged me to go to bed, preventing me from documenting what I\u2019d seen.<\/p>\n<p>In the subsequent nights and weeks while I was back home, I set up my camera on a tripod to create a timelapse, hoping to encounter it again\u2014but unfortunately, nothing materialized. <\/p>\n<p>Has anyone else experienced something similar, particularly the sense of control that kept you from photographing or questioning it further?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nUAP Encounter in Connemara, Galway Date: Late March 2022 Location: Connemara, Galway, Ireland Approximately three years ago, I had a UAP encounter in Connemara that continues to linger in my mind.
