a couple of experiences..
I'd just like to point out the fact that I understand the meaning of "UFO". I understand that it means an object that is flying and is unidentifiable. I'm not saying that what I saw was an alien space craft (even though it would be sooo cool to think so..
) and I'm not saying that there's no explanation of what I saw those 2 nights, because there more than likely is, i just want to hear other people's views on what I'm about to explain 
thanks!
It was in the middle of winter, probably close to the end of November in 2003. It was a beautiful night sky, perfectly clear. My self and my Dad were out feeding my horses at about 8.00pm. after we were done we stood in the middle of our garden, with our backs to the house, commenting on the billions of clear stars we could see, and pointing out the constellations we could recognized, the obvious ones in this hemisphere, Orian, the Big Dipper and so on. we were in the garden for about 10 minutes when we saw a shooting star! I was delighted, as this was the first time I'd ever seen one. a few minutes later we saw another, and then a third in quick succession. We waited a few more minutes, then I said we should go inside because it was starting to get quite nippy. We turned to head back to the house when Dad commented on another shooting star, but this one was bigger, and a brighter orange colour. I said because of its colour, it was probably a comet. After a few seconds and a few blinks of disbelief, this new attraction in the sky moved directly left in the sky, it slowed, then turned and headed straight above us. I couldn't make out any shapes, just a bright orange light. It then gained speed and moved in a big arc to the left again. Needless to say, my Dad and I were speechless! It then picked up some serious speed, and disapeared into the sky. When we got inside, me and Dad blinked at each other in disbelief. We toyed with the idea of it being a fighter jet or something of that ilk. We then realized the obvious; Ireland doesn't have an Airforce! We also thought it could be a satelite, but Dad pointed out to the best of his knowledge satelites didn't move in that manner. We saw a UFO.
That was the first one. Since then, I grew up and moved out to college, often visiting home for a week or so during the mid-terms. The second time I withnessed a UFO was in June this year. There's a strict "No-Smoking" ban inside my house, so I sat outside on the bonet of my car, in my PJ's having the last cigarette of the night. it was about 11.40pm. Dad came out to have a little chat away from the rest of the ears in the house. I finished up and we headed back around the house to the door. Since the car was parked (this is not entirely accurate since i'm only going off the rising and the setting of the sun..) on the north side of the house, and the back door faces west, (the setting sun) we were facing the south west (again, an approximation) turning around the house to the door. There in the sky (it wasn't pitch black, there was a little duskyness around the horizon as is the norm in the summer) was a bright orange/pinky light. I immediately said thats probably a satellite, because of its extremely slow movement, and lack of aeroplane lights. Then to our astonishment it gained speed. it was moving faster than any aeroplane or aero-vehicle i have ever seen or heard of. It gained yet more speed and flashed across the sky. (If i wasn't trying to stay completely open to any posibility, I would say that it engaged warp drive ) It completely disapeared from sight in about 6 seconds. i know thats a long time, kinda, but if you think of it, there's a lot of sky to cross in the space of six seconds!
So they're my stories, i'd love some feedback off you guys, just to see if you can give me any insight to these sightings.
And this is my first post, so hiya!!
