Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather was sent photos of the light from counties Clare, Donegal and Dublin. Screenshot: Carlow Weather/XAn unusual bright light that could be seen in the sky across Ireland on Wednesday night, prompting speculation of UFOs, may have be linked to Elon Musk’s latest SpaceX rocket launch. Alan O’Reilly of Carlow Weather, the forecasting website, explained that the light was too high in the sky to be a helicopter and that it had made no noise. Soon after it could be seen in the sky, social media speculation began to emerge of it being an unidentified flying object (UFO). A mysterious light in the night sky over Ireland was found to be the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket dumping fuel in orbit following its launch.
