A woman has come forward with an extraordinary tale of a close encounter with an unknown entity, which she claims took place over 40 years ago in Gortin, County Tyrone, Ireland. The woman, whose wants to remain anonymous, says that the incident occurred in the early hours of 7th September 1975, when she was a child. The encounter was reportedly witnessed by five members of her family, who were left stunned by the experience.
According to the report, the family was at home when they heard a strange noise outside their house. Initially, they believed the noise was coming from their dog, dragging its pan across the concrete outside. Curious, the woman and her younger sister decided to investigate, checking the boys' room at the other end of the house where their two brothers were already frightened by the unusual sounds.
The woman described the moment she pulled back the curtains to see what was happening outside,
The speed at which the entity moved was so fast that it disappeared from sight almost instantly. The woman, terrified, alerted her father, who quickly got up to investigate.
Her father initially dismissed her claims, thinking the noise was caused by the dog. However, when he went outside with a shotgun to check on the animal, he found it locked inside the shed. This discovery visibly shocked him, as the family had believed the dog was roaming free in the yard at the time.
The woman recalls her father’s reaction when he returned indoors,
The family was left shaken by the night's events, unsure of what they had witnessed. However, this was not the only unusual occurrence reported that evening.
At the same time as the Gortin encounter, the woman’s cousin, living in Creggan, around 15 kilometres southeast, reportedly saw a UFO in the area. The cousin, now deceased, claimed to have observed a spaceship like object in the sky, adding a potential extraterrestrial dimension to the incident.
The proximity of the two sightings in both time and location has raised questions about whether the two events could be connected, with both suggesting unusual activity in the region on the same night.
While this encounter happened decades ago, the woman is adamant that her story is true. The report has drawn renewed attention to the history of UFO sightings in Northern Ireland, where a number of unexplained events have been documented over the years.
Although no physical evidence remains from the 1975 incident, the memory of that night has stayed with the woman and her family, leaving them with many unanswered questions about what they witnessed in their rural garden in Gortin. The report adds to a growing number of anecdotal accounts of alien encounters around Ireland, which continue to intrigue the public and spark debates about the existence of life beyond Earth.
As with many UFO and alien sighting report, sceptics may question the veracity of the woman’s account. However, she and her family remain firm in their belief that they encountered something extraordinary that night.

The woman described the moment she pulled back the curtains to see what was happening outside,
"I carefully pulled back the curtains and I saw my reflection, and then from the side of the window, the alien moved out in front of me. I screamed like crazy. The creature stood at least 8 feet (2.4 metres) tall, and its eyes were large and black. It smiled at me and then ran away like a flash."
