Lights in the sky

    Hi I live in the clonsilla area and last night at about 11.30 I was just having a cigarette by the window when I notice about 4 to 5 lights in perfect formation one after the other taking the same route up into the sky it was very strange, there was a fair distance from one light tothe next and as one disappared into the sky another one would come from the distance and join the end of the cue if you like, and what was also very strange was that one of the lights that was about second last in the cue split into 2 maybe 3 pieces and droped down and out of view I could see another 2 people across the road on a balcony with binoculars also looking at the lights, eventually they all disappeared. I know there could be a simple explaination for this but it was just so wierd because each of the light exactly copied the one in front of it, it reminded me of the Amercan UFO TV shows.

    Thoughts......

    I was driving through Enniskerry County Wicklow last night and saw the same thing as mentioned above. There was twenty to twenty five orange coloured lights that kept rising and getting brighter. I would usually be quite sceptical about UFOs and the like but this was really weird. I presume there is an explanation for it and would love to hear what people think it was!

    LOL Take That. I dont think It was fireworks cos they wouldnt last this long, it all happenen over like a 15 min period and also how would fireworks stay in such a perfect pattern one after the other moving across and turning upward into the sky if you saw it yourself you wouldnt think fireworks. At first I thought it was like a few jets or something...... but so many

    It was like the objects in the picture but they were much more abundant. Fireworks could be the answer although they seemed to stay in the air for 5-10 minutes .

    Spotlights from the circus in Blanch shingin on the clouds I'd say.

    These things had me call the Coastguard one night about a year ago. They'll fly perfectly silently and in unison as they go up. They're also hard to fully get bearings on.

    Would they fly in perfect formation?

    I hope there is such thing as alien craft:D come on down


    Few years ago a guy caught a perfect pic of one over a town somewhere in Ireland i saw the pic only once and then all of sudden never heard of it again:confused: Also good few years ago we watched something fly around the sky for about two hours and it circled around before flying straight up and disappeared.

    They do yeah. I watched 8 being set off individually and they all took the same path. Up from Dalkey and over into Dublin Bay where it looked as though they caught an off shore breeze then rose up and hovered a few hundred feet up. They stayed lighting for about 15 minutes.

    Yeah very beautiful. Their rate and fluidity of movement is determined by the natural forces around them, which isn't something you get too see drawn out so graciously every day. Which is why they often catch people out.

    I think might use them some day for something special :)
