B52s cross Irish Airspace

B52s sighted over North Mayo

A neighbour sighted two aircraft flying very close together this evening about 5.45pm near Belmullet heading East. He got his camcorder out and used the digital zoom. We examined the footage, which was quite poor (its a basic camcorder) and with the zomm there was a lot of shake, but it looked like two B52s. 4 engines (I know there are 8 but they are paired off), very dark colour all over and a largish tail.

This was definately in Irish airspace.
