    That light is there since the King was born on 11 January 1979.

    It was on the radio at lunchtime that a fragment of an asteroid passed through some part of the Irish sky last night, so possibly that. They even wanted people to report sightings..kinda cool to see it outside of the films i guess

    The international space station is visible each night this week and thats what you are probably seeing! Meteorites tend to go very quickly through the sky and are gone in a blink of an eye just like a shooting star.

    If the light is moving upwards fast then it could be anything. Some chinese neighbours of mine were letting off lanterns last week. They looked class and if I did'nt know what they were I would have been very confused!
