DID anyone see the jets smoke stream from the plane this afternoon?

Wondered if there was a brief emergency on board.

Plane was travelling in a westerly direction (Dublin-New York ?) and did a complete u-turn before continuing on it's original route.

Mystery of strange aircraft over Kerry revealed

The mysterious maneouvres of an aircraft seen in the sky across Kerry this afternoon have been explained by the Irish Aviation Authority.
People across the county got in touch with Radio Kerry about an aeroplane that was seen encircling the sky.
The craft has been spotted from Ballybunion down to Cahersiveen.
The Irish Aviation Authority says the aircraft which came from Shannon Airport is on a test flight.
A spokeswoman for the authority says it's a standard exercise by a craft.
She says it may continue its test flight over Kerry until around 6 pm or thereabouts before returning to Shannon.


And another conspiracy theory is born and swiftly put to bed.
