Date: March 18, 2011
Time: Between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.Last night, 18th March 2011 between 7:00pm and 8:00pm roughly, I was standing at my back door in Banbridge, Co. Down Northern Ireland. I was smoking a cigarette and looking up at the night sky. I saw an orange coloured light heading in an eastern direction. At first I thought it was an aircraft, but I couldn't hear any sound from it.
As I watched, I noticed the brightness of the light, as it was fluctuating, but not blinking on and off like an aircraft. To me it looked like something burning in the sky. I have seen shooting stars before, but this one was moving slower. There was no erratic movement, it was just moving in a one way course. I watched for 3-4 minutes and eventually the light fluctuated brighter, then darker then it disappeared.
I thought maybe it was some sort of comet? I typed into Google 'comet over Banbridge and found your site.' Just thought I would share what I saw with you. I wonder did anyone else see what I saw last night? Feel free to email me back.
