was up in drogheda when i saw it and have to say i was very impressed. never seen anything like that before. none of the videos or photo's i've seen of it did it any justice. really was something to see.

I'm in Dublin and I saw that on friday night! I thought I was going mental and it was a group of jets or something.

I feel better now.
