Northern Ireland Mach 3 Unidentified Flying Saucer
LISBURN — Earlier this morning on February 14 2009, my two sons and I were gardening a 11:10 AM, when my eldest son aged 7 pointed at an aircraft and asked me what make of aircraft it was? It looked like an Airbus A321. He then asked why it was dragging a hot air balloon behind it. I looked up again and noticed a small black oval, possibly 20 meters long and 10-15 meters wide which I would estimate was 1000-1500 meters behind the aircraft. For almost a minute the black oval maintained speed a distance from the Airbus, but it finally ‘peeled off’ at a speed of which I have never witnessed. I myself am a former Royal Naval Engineer and was designated to HMS Invincible (1993-1999). During this period I witnessed many military aircraft travelling at speeds in excess of Mach 1.8, usually at military exercises. If I compare the speed of the black oval to military aircraft I have worked with before, I would say it was accelerated from tailing the Airbus (400+ mph) to Mach 3.5 in 1 second. As you can imagine, at this speed the oval quickly vanished from site in the direction of Banbridge, SW. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director UFO Canter.
