'Extra-terrestrial tracks exist over Athlone,' claims UFO expert

Carl Nally, of UFO and Paranormal Research Ireland (UPRI), has claimed that UFO tracks exist over Athlone.

Speaking to the Westmeath Independent about recent reports of a UFO 'portal' over Athlone, Carl said there had been a major increase in sightings over the past two months.

"We've had a huge number of reports from people in the Midlands who report seeing orb or tic tac shaped UFOs," Carl said.

"The increase has happened over the past two months, and it coincides with the drone or UFO sightings over military bases in the US, Germany, and the UK."

The expert said that the influx in UFO sightings in the Athlone area had been backed up by research by Roscommon native astronomer Dr Eamonn Ansbro and New Zealand airline pilot Dr Bruce Cathie.

"Dr Ansbro and Dr Cathie have developed a theory that UFOs operate on tracks which they can enter and exit the earth from," Carl said.

"They have been working on this theory for the past 12 to 15 years. They have been researching sites where UFOs are most often seen. Their mathematical theory is proven to be 92% accurate."

He named Athlone, Slane, Boyle, Wicklow, and West Cork as points along these tracks which UFOs use to both enter and exit earth.

"They are entering earth at an increasingly rapid pace, and the fact that the entry coincides with sightings over military bases - that is concerning."

Carl concluded by saying it is possible that the increase in sightings is due to a phenomenon called a 'flap' in which groups of UFOs are spotted travelling together.

Such events have historically occurred in Mexico and the US, however it is unprecedented that such 'flaps' would be spotted on this side of the planet.

"The question that everybody is asking is why? And that question is yet to be answered," Carl said.
