Update: UFO seen off Irish coast 'in all probability, were meteorites'

The Irish Aviation Authority has begun an investigation into the sighting of an unidentified flying object (UFO) by a number of aircraft off the south-west coast of Ireland last Friday.

Update: Pilots who reported a UFO over Ireland on Friday, most likely saw a shooting star, according to a leading expert.

Shannon Air Traffic control was contacted by a captain flying over Kerry to say she had seen a speeding bright light, with two other pilots in the area confirming the sighting.
