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.”

specific orbits,its only big brother watching us.

UFO's have always been here. Need pics.

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
rgray222 | Apr 26, 2011, 09:25 PM EDT
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!
Shirleylou | Apr 26, 2011, 05:48 PM EDT
It is interesting. Where are pictures?
zanzibarjack | Apr 26, 2011, 02:12 PM EDT
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.

Let us hope they aren't after the Guinness

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.
calvinvotaw | Apr 23, 2011, 07:23 PM EDT
Why doesn't Eamonn Ansbro show his proof? I believe in other lives out there but i have never seen them. Show Us
ejlorge | Apr 23, 2011, 05:40 AM EDT
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.
teddybear | Apr 22, 2011, 06:31 PM EDT
Oh Yee of little faith.
SeamusMor | Apr 22, 2011, 02:45 PM EDT
Eamonn is not tracking extraterrestials! What his instruments detect are from another time, not another place. If they were from another place they would contact us. Being from another time, they are not allowed to make contact. It's called "The Prime Directive" and it will be written into time tourists' travel contracts by Richard Branson's grandson when he starts "Virgin Time Travel" in 2099.

autpman -- the F117 wasn't flying 20 years before its unveiling; but it was flying a number of years before it came out of the closet. There's always a lot of strange things flying around the Las Vegas area. Now, why would that be? Look no further than Groom Dry Lake, the satellite base of Nellis AFB (also referred to as "Area 51"). That's where the USAF secretly flight tests new systems that are under development. That's where the F-117 hung out for a number of years. Some of these systems come in strange shapes and sizes (the F-117) giving rise to reports of UFOs; and those reporting such sightings are right -- they ARE UNIDENTIFIED (emphasis deliberate) flying objects (at least to the observer). That doe snot mean they are of extraterrestrial origin!

You simply cannot say "His recent work shows that alien space-crafts follow defined paths around the earth" and then quote Ansbro saying, "We haven't proven our discovery to the scientific community yet". You see the problem here, right? By the way, the word is spacecraft. There is no such thing as space-crafts.

I WONDER IF HE ALSO FOUND LINKS TO OBAMA!!!
harryfee | Apr 22, 2011, 11:29 AM EDT
yeah, right. maybe some bushmills had something to do with it.
Searlit | Apr 22, 2011, 11:29 AM EDT
I like antoman's comment.
feeneycj | Apr 22, 2011, 10:52 AM EDT
from the last sentence ..."but we can show that extraterrestrial space craft are on specific orbital tracks around the earth.” Yes, they're called satellites.
LinLinisme | Apr 22, 2011, 10:44 AM EDT
interesting
srdools | Apr 22, 2011, 10:25 AM EDT
People can look up in the sky anywhere on the planet and not see UFO's for free.

There called satellites.

Sorry - bringing up the legend of Atlantis, not Atlanta.
bunkerhill | Apr 22, 2011, 09:51 AM EDT
I don't know as I am a born skeptic. I saw an Ancient Alien show on TV in which two US Air Force men stationed in the UK, spotted a "UFO" in a forest You'd have to see the show but supposedly one of them received a message and a latitude and longitude sw of Ireland, bringing up the legend of Hy-Brasil. One scientist actually thinks Ireland was Atlanta. Even more intriguing was the Indian who appeared before that story. He says he was given an astounding equation, which has amazed scientists, in a dream. How does that happen? I saw another "factual" science show that said the spores for life came in on meteors. To me that might mean life somewhere else. Who knows? Certainly not me and I have no idea of mathematical equations and science so I am in the dark.
RenéMullin1 | Apr 22, 2011, 09:45 AM EDT
Ah yes it all makes sense - Boyle Roscommon - the centre of the known Universe.
antoman | Apr 22, 2011, 08:28 AM EDT
The F117,the flying diamond.Was flying for twenty years before it was finally revealed to the public.If a UFO landed in Ireland the occupants would be asked if there was any work going on their home world and would it be possible to book passage on their vessel.
