To the point

February 2026 brought reports of unexplained aerial phenomena across Ireland, including a Ballintober, County Roscommon sighting on February 5 at about 19:37 when a pilot saw bright white lights at roughly 40,000 feet that initially looked like stars but then moved unpredictably for about 40 minutes as the aircraft traveled roughly 648 kilometres, another aircraft corroborated the sighting and it was reported to Italian air traffic control, and the event ended with a single moving light while authorities noted similar past observations.
