AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around skepticism regarding a UFO sighting reported in Belfast, where only two witnesses claimed to have seen the event. Concerns are raised about the credibility of the sighting due to the limited number of witnesses, with some questioning why no one else in the city reported seeing it. The conversation touches on local culture, suggesting that residents are accustomed to aerial activity and might be more discerning in their observations. Humor is interjected with comments about the nature of the witnesses and the idea of "Catholic aliens" versus "Protestant aliens," reflecting a light-hearted take on the seriousness of the topic. The discussion ultimately emphasizes the need for more substantial evidence and the challenges of validating such sightings, especially in urban environments like Belfast or London.

Lets get one thing straight: were they Catholic aliens or Protestant aliens?

(Oops - here comes my first warning...)
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA maybe i will get a warning for laughing but still. However, as they are Irish it is customary to have a FEW drinks while working... :-p

Seriously, does it matter if they were high up?? I mean, if it's Belfast city, there are bound to have been other people around, and chances are there would have been SOMEONE looking at the sky. I am a bit skeptical about the fact that they were the ONLY two people in the city to see this.
 
This might be a stereotype too, but Ulster people are famously level-headed - Belfast is no 60's San Francisco. Also, I reckon those folks have seen so many helicopters over their city day-in day-out they might be better than most at judging things aerial.

Of course stereotying a city - however positively - is no way to judge the veracity of a UFO sighting.

If it were, though, would a sighting over London indicate an authentic or false sighting?
 
Good question. And after some consideration I have come to the conclusion that a UFO sighting over London would have to be false. They just don't do that sort of thing over here - far too vulgar. :biggrin:
 
Besides, Her Majesty wouldn't stand for it. Upsets the corgis, you know.
