The Irish Aviation Authority is investigating sightings of bright lights and UFO's seen over the coast of south-west Ireland. They were reported by a number of pilots of commercial aircraft while in contact with Shannon Air Traffic Control last Friday. A British Airways pilot spotted bright lights moving past her plane. The fast moving, very bright object was seen to disappear at very high speed. Air traffic control confirmed to the pilot that there was no military exercises taking place in the area at the time.
A short time later another pilot reported a similarly mysterious object over the same area. The pilot said it looked like a meteor, but was made up of multiple flashes and were incredibly bright. Another pilot described the speed of the object as astronomically fast. Two bright objects were then seen to climb away at speed. The Irish Aviation Authority said that it was investigating the strange phenomenon, but that it was doing so confidentially.
