    At 1.24am,so 5 mins ago a white light,that looked like a star flew over my house,travelling west to east.Im in north Dublin,so used to seeing high altitude planes flying overhead.However,this object was just a bright white circle,had no flashing lights and travelled across the sky maybe 8 times quicker than a high altitude plane,it also made no noise.I seen a shooting star/meteoir over Ringsend about 25 years ago,but that travelled much much quicker and left a question mark shaped trail in the sky,so this object tonight wasnt that.Anyone know what I could have seen,maybe the ISS?? Thanks in advance.

    It was the starlink train of satellites, I was out in the garden just to see them pass over :D

    They gradually seperate over the days after the launch. Check out this website for ISS and Starlink passes, register and give it your location ....
