    Did anyone else just see a group of lights moving silently across the sky in Limerick ? . It looked like a group of jet planes with orange lights but it wasn't making any noise. kinda baffling.
    Does anyone know a possible explanation for what it is?

    I saw this at about 11 pm.

    Landed near my home. A little green dude is in my back garden at the moment. I might shoot him and sell his body to the CIA.

    I saw them in Galway, looked like slow-moving meteors. A satellite breaking up seems a likely culprit.
    Great special effects.

    Lots of reports from people saying they heard a huge bang before or during the sighting. Breaking the sound barrier? or something more sinister :eek::pac:

    Belfast coastguard has taken calls from people who saw the objects from Coleraine on the north coast, to Strangford Lough in the south east. Sightings were also made in Dublin.

    The lights were also seen in parts of central Scotland including Grangemouth, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

    There is a golden eyed pug in a tie dyed tutu with pink fairy wings on but I've seen it too many times for that, to be unusual ... lights, you say...

    I saw it too!!!! So glad that I'm not crazy as I was driving at the time between Cork and Limerick and thought it might have been eyes playing tricks on me.

    I'd describe it as 3-4 orange fireballs going from east to west, midway in the sky line.

    It really was amazing

    There're probably ICBMs. We'll wake up tomorrow finding out that the US has been annihilated by nukes.

    Russia is supposed to have tested an ICBM over Israel a couple of month ago. I wonder if this is something similar, it could be a MIRV rocket, similar to this:
