Ball of flame in the sky
Western People (Ireland)
June 29, 2005

A ball of flame was spotted in the Mayo sky at 1.46 a.m. on 
Sunday night/ Monday morning, writes Michael Commins. The light, 
which was low down in the northern sky, was travelling in a north 
easterly direction and falling rapidly towards earth. The object 
may have been a meteorite or object burning up on entering the 
earth's atmosphere.

However, at no stage did the object resemble the usual meteorite 
"streak" but remained intact as a single glowing object. It 
exuded a blue-yellow glow, similar to that emanating from a 
welding job, providing a spectacular view in the night sky.
