Watch: Night sky lights up with 'fireball' over Ireland

The mysterious light can be seen just left of centre above the rows of streetlights in the video captured by Colm Ryan's dashcam footage.

Irish stargazers were given a treat on Thursday evening, as many reported seeing a shooting star around the same time as the International Space Station and Starlink satellites were passing over the country.

Astronomy Ireland hailed a “magical night sky tonight” with many sharing images on social media capturing the events.
