A video of a strange UFO engaging in a low-speed pursuit, in broad daylight, with a squad car on the streets of Gorey, Ireland, has emerged online and caused numerous speculations of an intergalactic invasion. However, the UFO does not seem real like the ones aliens are pictured to have.
The video in question was posted on Facebook on July 30 and featured a UFO that looked like a flying saucer. The craft proceeded down the streets, closely followed by a Garda car with flashing lights. Pictures of police pulling over and examining the strange UFO were also posted alongside the video.
According to The Irish Times , the "UFO" in question was actually an artistic piece for a space-themed art show that was created by a local artist, Ali Kemal Ali. In an interview with the Irish Times, a Gardaí spokesman said that the pursuit was a friendly escort they had given the creator of the small spacecraft to show off the piece of art to residents. He added that rumors of an alien invasion were not true.
In similar news, another UFO was captured on video over the historic Gateway Arch in St. Louis Missouri. The UFO appeared like multiple strange lights and hovered over the iconic landmark on Aug 2 at around 2:00 am. Apparently, a surveillance camera at the Malcolm W. Martin Memorial Park is also said to have captured multiple strange lights moving in the sky.
According to Mandatory , the UFO was also spotted by an employee at the Casino Queen, Chase Rhodes, who immediately took a video and posted it on YouTube. However, Joe Palermo, the chief investigator of Missouri's Mutual UFO Network, told the publication that there were two different videos of the light, and that it was an unusual occurrence considering both recordings acted as "eye witnesses."
Palermo also explained that most strange lights can be sights of a star, something man-made, or simply an aircraft. Since then, there has been no clear explanation of what the UFO could be. Palermo promised the UFO community that he was still looking into the strange occurrence and could have an idea of what the light was in a few weeks.
