Light over Limerick

D1stant

Right. This is going to sound daft

For the last week or so, myself and the missus have noticed a bright white light over the city. It doesn't move is and too high to be a crane (remember cranes)

Its not there every night though. Just most nights. From where we are in Corbally its almost due south. Looks too low to be a star and too big and bright

Must be aliens or a new experimental Irish air-force jet

Geostationary satellite?

As pointed out above, it's most likely Venus.
It often gets reported as a UFO.

It's the Moon.

Sounds like it could be Venus you're seeing?

Aliens, definitely aliens and anyone that says its not aliens are just aliens covering up for other aliens. Hope this helps.

I've been looking into this, and it occurs a lot in Australia and Southern Europe. It's called "the sun" I think.
Weird the way there's a newspaper named after it.
