Orange glow in the sky ? Meteor ? UFO ?

2qk4u

Anyone see the orange glow in the sky just now ? 20.15 11/10/10.

Looked like a hot air balloon in the distance to me. My son said it fairly big overhead and it changed direction. I only saw it from a distance.

If Meteor would just give me a signal on land I'd be happy.

its a lantern, saw them for sale in art and hobby shop today.....didn't look to close at them but think their helium filled and they light up inside when you set them free! will have to get one now and see how far it goes while i can still see it:)

Explains why they didn't stick around too long. Who'd come all the way over here to see a bunch of piss heads and junkies?

strokemyclover

It's the glow of the moon reflecting off all those annoying Jacob's Taste Bud people roaming around Dublin.

I have been checking out some other threads on here and seemingly the irish army are using chinese lanterns as cover for some new plane they are using .Could it be this ?

Probably Ryan Tubridys inflated ego, finally lost control of it

The sun by any chance?

I just assumed it was FF burning the evidence of their utter incompetence, and told the kids to stop looking and get in to bed.

flyton5

Dont mention it to the lads in Heavens Gate...oh hang on a sec...

Black Swan

Orangemen 2.0 upgrade
Next season they will be flying instead of marching.

Deus Ex Machina

That thought process always amazes me.

Hang on, what's that in the sky? I can't quite be sure it isn't a plane, or a star, or the moon....I know, I'll postulate the existence of an extraterrestrial intelligence who have decided to travel thousands of lightyears in order to visit us, not announce their presence, but not particularly hide it either!!!

can you enlighten me then (pardon the pun):D

From talking to people afterwards the general opinion is that it was some type of aircraft. Didnt move like a plane and made no noise like a helicopter would and was too fast to be a hot air balloon and it was able to hover too..

I'm gonna take a wild punt on it being a hot air balloon.

Keep me posted.

Which is probably the reason why it's called an unidentified flying object.

If you thought that one out a bit more you'd notice how unlikely that is.

phill106

texaco are selling those chinese lantern things. or are they called flying lanterns? 1.99 and i'd say you will see loads of them about at that price

Garlic Suplmnt

Saw something similar to this last night moving over the city, from Portabello at about 9pm. Thought it was a light from a plane at first but it had an incandescent quality to it that made me think 'that's strange'. Seemed to be bobing slightly as it moved eastwards, then it appeared to burn itself out before dissappearing completely.

Anyone else see this?

changes

I saw the same thing in donegal last night about 8 pm

Chinese lanterns they are. Not sure about home but over here in England you're almost guaranteed to see at least a couple floating across the sky each night.

Never got that, if you're identifying it as an UFO, how is it unidentified?You just identified it.

Vilified

I saw it too. Weird so it was. Disappeared. Looked like a ball of fire.

AssaultedPeanut

I saw it too this evening about 7PM going from Raheny to Santry and on the way back again 2 hours later.

Could be Iridium Satellite Flares - you can get predictions for these at Heaven's Above.
