    im living up in ballycullen now and there is this light that looks like a star a bit and flickers but what's weird is that it moves slightly around and is not completely static.. any body else see this? I'm a Pilot so i'm used to what happens in the sky but never seen a star like object "Dance"

    Wow, you're a pilot and you STILL don't know what it is? I'm amazed, what with you usually being so much closer to the stars than the rest of 'n all.

    OP, I'm afraid you are suffering from surrealism. What you are witnessing is actually a toaster made out of postmen.

    You're looking at Jupiter but you're just a bit drunk. Or wonky in general.

    The first time I saw a chinese lantern I was completely freaked out.
    Had gotten up in the middle of the night for a smoke, and I just sat there outside in the cold watching it until it disappeared.
    Was sure it was a comet or aliens.
    As the first poster said, it was probably just that.
