Eamonn Ansbro, a Roscommon-based astronomer,  has attracted international media attention as he claims  his research has unearthed evidence of extraterrestrial activity. Now the Boyle local wants to put the town on the map establishing a centre for all things UFO.

For the past 20 years Ansbro, from the town of Boyle, has been carrying out research on extraterrestrial intelligence. Ansbro gives presentations across the globe, including one to the French government.

Although his work might seem controversial and unusual he insists it is carried out "scientifically".
Ansbro's work has been published by the European Space Agency and he works as a part of a group of scientists called OSETI (Optical Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence).

His recent work shows that alien space-crafts follow defined paths around the earth. In his hometown of Boyle Ansbro has set up an "all sky camera" to monitor the whole sky hemisphere around the clock. The camera which comprises of 11 cameras record anything that moves or is unusual. Ansbro, along with other scientists, has collated the data which suggests that space-crafts are circling the earth.

He explained "When you take all that data and apply it to this theory we have found that it fits with the computerized time graphs and that we can predict when future sightings will occur and we have found that it has happened in Boyle."

He refers to thema as  "Identified Flying Objects" rather than UFOs.

Making comparisons to Roswell, New Mexico, he said "the tourism potential is huge.” he said, drawing comparisons with the UFO centre in Roswell New Mexico, which attracts huge numbers of visitors every year and also another UFO centre in Japan.

He told his local paper the Roscommon Herald, "We haven’t proven our discovery to the scientific community yet and don’t have the resources but we can show that extraterrestrial space craft are on specific orbital tracks around the earth.”

I think there's much too much consumption of Irish Fairy Dust going on in Ireland. Ireland should focus on exporting this high value product (beyond its foreign customer base of bankers and economists).

I saw a good docu on YouTube about how Boyle had UFO convention. Really liked fact it didn't take the piss but was nn-judgemental and let them speak for themselves. 'Loving the Alien' is the name of it. The same film-maker has some excellent others with great shots of Leitrim countryside. He's called Ronan Gallagher

For those interested there is an interview with Eamon Ansbro in a documentary film that looked at the Boyle UFO scene called 'Loving The Alien' available on YouTube and it's free.

Here are a couple of respected websites http://www.educatinghumanity.com http://www.hyper.net/ufo/summary.html

The website that you refer to is certainly a very large one but it is no way near the best one. The website you reference post every shaky light in the sky and every hoax that ever came down the road. It give little to no detail on what it post and intentionally posts false images, stories and video. Please do some homework before giving this site credibility. Big is certainly not best!

Replying to Shirlofalbany. The bible, and indeed human art history, are packed full of Ufo stories and depictions. I am afraid that all you folks who are into religion are equally right and wrong. I believe there is a God/consciousness, I also believe that religion is not spiritual, how can anyone be holy who fights nd hates people that express it in other ways. Respect and love all life.

I lived in Boyle for one winter. I think that I saw strange things in the sky when traversing between Daly's and Mattiemoe's pubs. Grateful to have an answer.

...'The camera which comprises of 11 cameras record anything that moves or is unusual' Since it's Easter Sunday I was just wondering if Mr.Ansbro's scientific cistern in the backyard in Roscommon has detected any of the 'specific orbital tracks around the earth' of The Pope's Urbi et Orbi Blessing? The nuns at school in Ireland said it moved and hovered for close to a day and a half after it left The Balcony in Rome to reach every land and hovel. Have a happy one!

Quite interesting. I have seen a ufo up pretty close. I saw the square windows and what appeared to be fog inside or haizy floresent lighting. It was very scary for me and my husband. We drove right under it. It was not of this world. I am inclined to believe this fellow. I wonder where they come from, their intentions, and why they are not in the bible.

Why doesn't Eamonn Ansbro show his proof? I believe in other lives out there but i have never seen them. Show Us

You have to be living in a cave or on a university campus to still deny the reality of ET visitation. However, I'm skeptical that it is "scientifically provable" at present. It's a bit like orangutan's in the bush proving the existence of homo sapiens.
