Aviation authorities in Ireland are investigating reports of bright lights moving quickly in the skies over Ireland.

Unusual air activity was spotted in the skies near Shannon on Friday - here's some of the conversation between Air Traffic Control, and pilots from British Airways and Virgin Atlantic who were in the area.

So what exactly could this have been? Well, in the past hour we caught up with Gerry Byrne. He’s an Aviation and Science Journalist in Ireland. He told CKNW what the likely cause is behind the unidentified bright lights.

And since this story broke, many of the world’s media outlets have been talking about this UFO. We asked Gerry Byrne for his take on some of the speculation that this could have been some sort of alien spacecraft.
