    Did anyone see the light moving in a westerly direction tonight at about 10:30? I'm not suggesting that it was anything extraterrestrial because it wasn't but I couldn't figure out what it was.

    It was a Sky Lantern.

    I'd say it was the ball from my left foot volley from playing footy last night :)

    Have you a more specific time? Its not long after sunset so high altitude objects (balloons, planes, and satelites) would catch the sun's light and reflect it, being bright for a while.

    Take a look at this site.

    Any more info?

    Duration, location in sky, height in sky (eg 45 degrees) etc

    I'm happy to go with the lantern. It looked as if there was a
    candle flickering on the inside of the object.

    It was at a low altitude anyway so def' not a space station.
    When I observed it it was over the ABB factory & moving
    towards Lismore Park.
