Ireland has UFO stories that don't get talked about outside the country. A glowing figure on a dark road in Caherciveen. Silver spheres rising out of the sea off Donegal. Something descending near an active airbase in Gormanston.

Besides Guinness, we think Ireland's alien stories deserve just as much attention. Most UFO documentaries stick to the same few countries, so we pulled together ten Irish cases, from the Blasket Islands to the Wicklow mountains. Some go back decades. One is recent enough that the witnesses are still around to talk about it.
