See anything weird moving/flying in the sky??

Little Green Dude · 2012-09-21 22:36:37

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:

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...
