There has been at least one report of an unidentified flying object sighted in the vicinity of Armagh within the last year, according to a recent report from the Northern Ireland UFO Society.
The Northern Ireland UFO Society (NIUFOS) is a non-profit organisation founded in 2013, by Christopher McMurray and Jamie Smale to serve as a platform for “UFOlogists, enthusiasts and researchers” in Northern Ireland to meet, discuss and investigate UFOs and extraterrestrials.
After noticing an “absence of such a society” in Northern Ireland, the pair formed the group and while they are based here, they welcome membership from all “nationalities, religions and creeds”.
According to their website, NIUFOS aim to investigate, review and publish UFO reports after reports are received or they “stumble upon them”.
They add: “We stress the importance of not solely viewing the subject of UFOlogy from a rational, scientific, materialistic point of view, but acknowledge the spiritual and metaphysical side too. We believe it is important to view UFOlogy from all possible angles with an open mind”.
Most recently, the society say a recent Freedom of Information (FOI) report from the PSNI has disclosed details of possible UFO or unexplained aerial sightings in Northern Ireland.
And, according to the information received there has been at least one possible sighting right here in Armagh!
Say NIUFOS: “The records, released in March 2026, include accounts from locations such as Armagh, Randalstown and Saintfield.
“One report from Armagh describes three orange lights observed in a triangular formation during August 2025. Other accounts refer to alien abduction, unusual illuminated objects, including a reported disc-shaped object seen over Randalstown.
“The disclosure adds to previously published PSNI records documenting reports of unexplained phenomena across Northern Ireland.”
Armagh I would be interested in speaking with anyone within the county who believes they have sighted a UFO or had an extraterrestrial encounter. If you would like to share your story feel free to contact us via info@armaghi.com.
