Duration: 20 minutes+
No of observers: 3

Location: Dublin (Republic of Ireland), , Ireland

Shape: Oval


Two dim oval shaped lights behind low cloudcover seen for 20 minutes over Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, Ireland in the North Eastern sky.

The evening was wet, cloud cover low. I was walking North West through the town of Dun Laoghaire, which is a suburb of Dublin, to catch a DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit). A movement in the sky caught my attention. I saw a barely discernable oval of light moving in the North Eastern sky. The source of the light appeared to be behind the cloud. Then I noticed a second, identical oval of light. They looked like two dim searchlights and they moved around each other in large circular patterns, giving the impression that they were dancing performing a dance. In size they appeared to be like two small moons, but much, much dimmer.

They were so dim that I wondered were my eyes playing tricks on me. I watched them until I entered the station. Down on the platform I looked to see if they were still moving around in the North Eastern corner of the sky, they were. As I'm a little short sighted I thought I had better get a second opinion. Pointing Northwest I asked a man standing on the platform if he could see the lights. He said he did and made some comment on UFOs and left it at that.

My train arrived 5 minutes later. The journey to my station took about 7 minutes. My wife was waiting for me with the car. I looked North East. They were still there, still moving in that fluid circular pattern and in constant relationship to one another. I asked my wife could she see them. She said she did.

The date of the sighting is approximate, allow a week either way.

I have no opinion on what I saw
