Aviation authority investigating UFOs over Ireland

The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) is investigating multiple reports of UFOs over the coast of Ireland on Friday. From the BBC:

(A British Airways) pilot, flying from the Canadian city of Montreal to Heathrow, said there was a 'very bright light' and the object had come up along the left side of the aircraft before it 'rapidly veered to the north...'

(Another Virgin pilot said) there were 'multiple objects following the same sort of trajectory' and that they were very bright.

The pilot said he saw 'two bright lights' over to the right which climbed away at speed.

One pilot said the speed was 'astronomical, it was like Mach 2' - which is twice the speed of sound.

According to the IAA, the matter will be 'investigated under the normal confidential occurrence investigation process.' Meanwhile, the BBC quotes an astronomer who suggests what the pilots saw could have been a meteoroid aka 'shooting star.'

Very interesting report on Shannon high level Friday 9 November at 0630z with multiple aircraft with reported sightings of a UFO over County Kerry. Skip to 17 minutes to listen reports on @liveatc https://t.co/VP1p0hrScn #Aviation #UFO #Ireland— Trevor Buckley (@IrishAero) November 11, 2018
