News UFO sighting in Irish skies explained as ‘strange moving light’ spotted People around Ireland reported seeing a strange moving white object in the sky last night, with some claiming that it was a UFO, or an unidentified flying object People spotted a moving light in the sky (Image: Twitter/X) A strange moving white light was spotted in Irish skies last night. People were convinced that they had seen a UFO, an unidentified flying object , and that aliens were making contact, with reports coming from Carlow, Cork, Donegal and Wexford. However, it turned out there was a far simpler answer as to why people were seeing the strange light last night. Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather shared the news of the reports last night when they first started emerging. He wrote: “Multiple reports of strange light moving in sky over Ireland in last 15 minutes with some describing as a like a big object with light in front but no noise and moving very quickly. “Reports from Southeast, Midlands and West. Moving West to East. Anyone else spot it?” In a video, the weather expert went on to say: “I don’t know what that light in the sky was that I shared, my notifications have never lit up like they have just now. “Reports right from the south right through the midlands up to the west, east, pretty much all over Ireland. “Load of people captured videos and pictures of it. A bright light, no sound, moving at or below cloud level. “A few people have asked if the StarLink launch, no, doesn’t fit that. Nothing showed on flight radar, people who were tracking it either. “So that at the moment it is a UFO, which just means that it’s unidentified. If it is the aliens, I say hello, I hope you like the weather.” Image of the path of the SpaceX Falcon 9 last night (Image: Twitter/X) However, he has now shared the real reason people were seeing the white object in the sky. In his latest social media post, he explained: “For those that were looking last night at the sky, we can say now that the UFO was identified as Falcon 9. It was the second part dumping fuel that freezes and the crystals then reflect the light.” He also wrote: “Image of the path of the SpaceX Falcon 9 last night pretty much confirms that was what people saw last night. Some still think we have new friends though”. Falcon 9 is the first commercial rocket to launch humans to orbit by SpaceX. It is partially reusable and was at Launch Complex 40 in Cape Canaveral, Florida, preparing for a Starlink mission that took place yesterday. Right now, the Falcon 9 second stage is orbiting Earth in low Earth orbit and it circles the planet every 90 minutes. Story Saved You can find this story in My Bookmarks.
