Bright white lights in sky

    Hi guys

    Anyone else spot those small round bright white lights (almost star like in appearance) in the sky recently (in the past couple of months or so), in or around the Dublin area... There were a few that I spotted both hovering and then moving quickly in the sky and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about them? I think it might have also been discussed on the radio at one point


    Still curious

    Thanks!

    Ps wasn't sure what forum this should go into

    Don't know about Dublin recently but in general might be caused by things like meteor showers, satellite or space debris re-entering the atmosphere, test flights of advanced, secret aircraft or visitors or observers from other planets or dimensions.

    I saw them last night in north Tipperary. Flashy star like shapes.

    I thought it was pretty unusual alright.

    Thought the OP was on about that strange orange object in the sky the last couple days.

    They are time travelling aliens, coming back to stop Brexit before it destroys the future.

    We actually did think it might have been drones but weren't sure!

    The ISS passed over Dublin last night. It should be visible again tonight and on into April.

    Yep but the visibility times didn't tie in with the site and the live tracking
    Still maybe it was that anyway

    I only noticed it by chance and then used the Sky At Night app to confirm it.
