Reports Report 1379al (Event 1379-2012)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Seamus |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Quite a spectacular display. Looked like a smaller version of the spaceship in Independence Day movie. Totally silent but very bright. Objects moved low towards the western horizon. From where I am located (western Ireland), this would mean that if they impacted, then it would have been into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Ireland or Scotland. |
