Spot the UFO?

A video uploaded to YouTube by leonamiga claims to be footage of a UFO over Dublin. The video seems to be taken from a still camera, to a building. It shows a small bouncing light moving across Dublin’s skyline.

Broadsheet.ie posted the footage asking “UFO Over Dublin Or Chinese Lantern?”

It seems that many of the site’s readers are skeptics. One commenter, Jimbo, posted “Someone tell Jim Corr, only he can save us!!” Corr, from the hit band The Corrs has often made his beliefs on conspiracy cover-ups publicly known.

Dash Rickwood commented that the UFO “moves just like one of those mysterious Garda helicopters” and another questioned that the footage was actually of Dublin.

One commenter on the YouTube clip seemed to disagree with the non-believers. The user, junkification, wrote “Same thing over my house, same night. Portland, Oregon, New Years Eve 2012!! I reported the sighting to mufon(dot)com (sic)”.

What do you think?

Here’s the footage:

My north facing flat balcony faces towards Christ Church Cathedral, where New Years are rund in traditionally. I observed Chinese laterns (2) being launched shortly after midnight, while meditating-in the New Year. PS A 'Chinese' lantern IS a UFO, until identified as such. Not all UFO's ar e flying saucers with little green men from Mars. Get with the programme guys!

I'v never heard of Jim Corr ever talking about Aliens, let alone 'often' talking about them. Writer hasn't done the most basic research, unprofessional even if it is just a fluff piece.

I don't believe Jim Corr has ever spoken about 'aliens'. He has been vocal on his views about false flag operations such as 9/11, 7/7 etc I believe. I guess that's just the media's ways of trying to marginalise him, linking him in with subjects he's never discussed.
