Full Description of Event/Sighting: We were sitting by the river Avoca in Arklow, County Wicklow. Looking north we noticed a speeding object on the low horizon tracking (northeast to southeast).
It seemed to be emitting colours, but they were near impossible to distinguish. The ball shape also seemed to rotate on itself and kept stopping to a standstill, but again it seemed hard to tell if it was stopping or zig zagging.
The object constantly emitted a very bright white light with afore mentioned colours inside it? It kept its altitude at all times, but then disappeared.
There was little to no cloud in the area. I have Googled reports online and it seems similar was seen in Scotland, Liverpool and Kent within one hour of what we saw in Ireland.
I have never filled in anything like this before as I have never seen anything like this before. I am a keen astronomer and it was neither a sat, fireball, conventional aircraft.
If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at:
