THIS WEEK, IT emerged that the Irish Aviation Authority will investigate the reported appearance of an unidentified flying object over Irish skies last week.
Imaginations raced at the thought that Ireland could be the spot where first contact could have been made, and that this, of all the locations in the universe, was where extraterrestrial life had chosen to visit.
So in celebration, we’ve put together a UFO-themed quiz so you can test your knowledge of the world’s close encounters with the third kind.

4/10 apparently.. I’m “really baaad” but that doesn’t matter. I’ve got important information.. I’m not one to make bold statements.. but im pretty sure I know the reasons aliens visited us not so long ago.. Apparently word spread about how good our sausages were.. So they came and had our award winning sausages with homemade sour dough fried bread, Don’t shoot the messenger.
@Acedeuce: I knew it….
@Acedeuce: I knew it….
@Colette Kearns: I mean what else could it be eh? :)
@Acedeuce: absolutely nothing but those pesky sausage stealing aliens!
@Acedeuce: fried sour dough sound strangely lovely. Almost otherworldly
Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

When life is found on another planet all religions on earth will become toothless .
@Quentin Moriarty: yep & politicians!!! Yippee bring them on. ( ish)
@Quentin Moriarty: not at all, haven’t you heard of alien Jesus?
I’m pawsitivly brilliant 10/10. Think I might be watching to much ancient Aliens.
They had no passports. Security services at Shannon have denied them entry, until they produce proper identification.
@Patricia McCarthy: Unless they were Americans with guns…
Thinking that the concept of aliens is ‘funny’ is a conditioned response.
There is nothing inherently funny about the concept.
Profound, yes. Funny, no.
And the more you know about the subject the more that is true..
But 99% of Irish people would rather watch grown adults chase balls around a field.
Thinking: ‘that’s profound’.
@Morgan Stack.: totally agree apart from the footie but. lol
The laugh at the alien believers is USA media at work,it’s easier to mock than dispute, if you google “disclosure project” u will see the truth, not foul hat wearears but some of the top people in their field. But gets little or no media attention funny that!
@Dougal67: foil hat wearers? Stupid phone lol
@Morgan Stack.: those water funnels things are weird they look like aliens stealing our water!!! Yikes.
@Colette Kearns: Well, according to Ingo Swann, the aliens are stealing our water. See Chapter 10 of his famous book Penetration (1998). I highly recommend the whole book. https://www.wanttoknow.info/ufos/penetration.ingo_swann.pdf
The chances of life existing on other planets is a near certainty, intelligent life less so. Even if we detected signs it may be so far away as to be extinct now. Unless we develop the capability to travel at multiple times the speed of light or another civilisation does so, we may never know. We are very unique.
I just pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space because there’s bugger all down here on earth.
@Kendra Jackson: correct, all we managed is to is find more exotic ways of killing ourselves.
It is more likely that we have interdimensional beings visiting us rather than ‘aliens’
@eastsmer: Demons?
more like man made id say .technology has came a long way since they flew to space in the 1960s .they are still using a 1960,s design a Soyuz expendable spacecraft to get to the space station .With over 1700 flights since its debut in 1966, .maybe they have something else invited .
have your say
