Sligo (Republic of Ireland)

Sighted on Monday 14. April 2014
Reported on
Shape: Circle | Duration: 3 minutes
Source:

ball of light travelled east to west in 3 minutes.A ball of light similar in size to a star travelled from the east to the west horizon and disappeared when it reached the west. It was travelling too fast to be a plane and only took roughly 3 minutes to go that distance, there were no flashing lights or sudden movements and it travelled in a normal fashion. It was a perfectly clear night and nothing else of that description appeared over the next hour. Could it have been a meteor?
