from www.ufomag.com MYSTERIOUS FIREBALL CAUSES A STIR IN NORTHERN IRELAND "A full-scale emergency to search for a crashed plane was launched" on Tuesday night, February 13, 2001, off the coast of Northern Ireland. "Troops and RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary--J.T.) joined ambulance crews and RAF helicopters after two people were reported dead in a light aircraft accident." "They rushed to the scene at a remote mountain near Kinawley," Northern Ireland, "on the Fermanagh border." "Hospital staff at Enniskillen were at emergency standby." "The emergency was called off late (Tuesday) night after four hours." "A schoolboy is believed to have reported seeing fire and heavy smoke after he said a plane hit the mountain." "St. Angelo Airport at Enniskillen said all its planes had been accounted for." "The ambulance spokesman said, 'A light aircraft was seen falling from the sky. We immediately sent two ambulances and the other emergency services were also there. We were led to believe there were two people aboard the aircraft.'" "Later the spokesman said th! ey! had used heat-heat-seeking equi pment to scan the area but had found nothing. He added, 'Well, at the moment, it would be fair to say it looks like a hoax,'" "The (supposed) crash site was just a few miles from where rally champion Bertie Fisher's helicopter went down last month," i.e. in January 2001.
