An investigation is underway after pilots from two different airliners reported seeing UFOs over the Irish coast earlier this month. According to The Independent, the incident began when a British Airways pilot saw bright lights flying past her aircraft. Soon after, a pilot from a Virgin Airways plane saw a similar object. The Virgin pilot said it looked like a meteor with multiple bright flashes of light emanating from it. One of the pilots reported it flying very quickly, perhaps twice the speed of sound. Air traffic controllers reported nothing on their radars.
