orange light in sky heading North east

Just seen this now..What is it a satelite or something? Must be as it's silent as the grave. It is moving pretty fast aswell. Just curious.
Have a quick look out if your reading this now.

Thanks

The Bilderberg Group are relaeasing lots of Chinese lanterns over Irish airspace to mask the activities of their Alien overlords.

Ruddy North Koreans chasing chinese lanterns!

It was moving pretty fast and not much wind out if any at all..... I am not saying it's a UFO or anything but it caught my interest as to what it could have been.

Probably Jesus.

Mickeroo

International space station. Passes over every now and then.

Traffic light, the next one is red.

Voodu Child

Probably just swamp gas or a weather balloon.

It is too late for backtracking. The authorities will silence you regardless.

Chinese lanterns are light and can go up over a mile in the sky. A very light wind would move them.

Move cautiously, Sam. He's weakening already.

I saw a bright orange light cross the sky at about 2245. Kinda in a west to east direction. It was really very bright and definately orange. I know what the iss or a satellite etc looks like. I've never seen anything like it before. It moved in a straight line and seemed to be up as high as a satellite would pass. Anyone have any REAL ideas what it might have been?

Orange light moving in a straight line at high altitude and high speed?
Sounds like a meteor to me. :cool:

I really should look out the window more often,if it was aliens they were probably getting the fuck away from here as fast as possible.

I was looking at Sky News earlier - according to the Sunday World, the Gardai have arrested 3 Polish men after neighbours reported them for cooking a swan om a BBQ late on Saturday evening.

It appears that the swan was not actually dead & flew off into the night sky once it had regained consciousness.

shampon

It was your ma's hair on fire after I rode her...to flames. She lept out of the swing and reefed her wig off, and fecked it off into the sky in a nice northwesterly direction.

It was a spaceman.

Serious answer: it was Mars, at its closest point in hundreds of years. Theres probably a thread in the astronomy forum. Or Google it.

AH answer: witches. Definitely witches.

Orange light? Headed north east? The Loyalist Orange Order are always inventing new ways to commemorate the Battle of the Boyne.

If it was mars, it wouldn't be moving across the sky

Thanks, but it wasn't a satellite. As mentioned, I know what a satellite looks like.

Thanks, but I know what a meteor looks like. The orange light was moving slowly. Chinese lantern?? It looked much further away than something just 'floating' in the sky.

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus

False. That's a hoax email thats been doing the rounds for a while.

It would of course! The earth rotates at approx. 1,000 mph, and the planets are moving through their orbital patterns around the sun at ridiculous speeds. You don't honestly think it would just it there forever?

Also, nice triple post there. :rolleyes:
