Description

I recorded this video at 19:09pm from the East Coast of Ireland. I was facing West. At around 6pm I went outside to set up my tripod and camera so I could do a few hours of Astrophotography. While setting the phone camera up I noticed a flash if bright white light in the corner of my eyes. I looked up and was flashed again with a very bright white light that flashed then flickered like a very distant flash light or head lamp. This happened again a few seconds later but more flickered than flashed. I noticed a faint blue colored light (like a star) moving at very high speed, which is where the flashes came from. I initially thought star link or satellite. So I abandoned the photography, got a cup of tea and sat out in my garden. For the next few hours I witnessed lots, I mean lots (all coming from the West but going different directions), of lights flickering, flashing, appearing from nowhere, disappearing and traveling at all sorts of speeds and directions, many of them abruptly changing directions. Multiple times I was flashed with the white light, at different times. I have lots of video footage but this is probably the best one. I did edit it to brighten it a bit (I know but past experience posting dark videos on here) but kept the original untouched. The tree tops on the bottom will give you an idea of speed and movement. These lights lasted until at least 20:30pm and there was lots of different ones throughout. Like I said I have other footage but this is the best one. I'll try post more tomorrow. It was one hell of a wild night. Especially with everything else going on.
