Reports have emerged on social media of an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sighting in Irish skies over the weekend.
Irish stargazer Don Lavery made the claim after reports emerged of hundreds of flashing and bright lights in the sky over Enniscorthy, Co Wexford on Sunday night.
"Mostly stationary at a high altitude. Drone swarm or something else? Anyone see them?," tweeted Don, who is a veteran journalist, specialising in defence and security affairs.

One commenter asked if there was any shaky camera footage available for verification purposes.
The viewer stated there was not, however he confirmed: "Dublin Air Traffic Control (ATC) have nothing on radar but say in all probability if it was at a high altitude, it was Starlink and Elon Musk."
Starlink is a large satellite system that supplies the most remote areas of the Earth with high-speed internet service. It was developed and constructed by Elon Musk’s company SpaceX in 2015.
Launches of Starlink satellites resemble a brilliant "train of lights" in the sky, according to its website. There are more than 5,000 satellites in Earth's orbit.
The last Starlink launch took place on February 17, while the launch before that took place on February 12, according to a satellite tracker.
While there are no reports of a Starlink launch last night, viewers are adamant that the hundreds of bright lights spotted over Co Wexford are the work of the richest man on the planet.
"Most likely starlink," said one commenter on the thread, while another stated that "Musk is everywhere."
