Irish Aviation Authority — Multiple Pilot UAP Reports, Atlantic
Multiple commercial airline crews reported bright objects moving at extraordinary speed over the Atlantic Ocean west of Ireland on November 9, 2018. Shannon Air Traffic Control received the radio reports. The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) opened a formal investigation. The primary witness, an Aer Lingus captain, described a bright light that 'rocketed up' and then split. The IAA investigation concluded the objects were real and moving at exceptional speed but could not identify them.
