Belfast

Sighted on Friday 26. October 2018

Shape: Tear drop | Duration: Few minutes
Source:

Driving through Belfast with my wife and kids on a Friday about 6 pm. It was a lovely clear sky and we were all looking at the sky as there was an unusual shape and size of plane in the sky. I looked it up on my Flightradar24 app and it was an Antonov flying from St Petersburg to Shannon airport. Next thing my wife and I noticed a bright light shaped like a teardrop next to it. It was unusual because it was long and vertical. We were driving at the time when we spotted it we were going in and out of view because of the buildings, next thing it was gone. Lasted a minute or two only.
