Reports of a huge meteor being spotted in the skyline over Donegal tonight have sky-gazers excited.

The ‘meteor’ was spotted by a number of people blazing across the skyline above Letterkenny just before 11pm.

The object could be seen for a number of seconds before it trailed away into the distance.

One eye-witness said “This is the first time I have seen anything so clearly like this in the sky.

“It didn’t appear to be that high up and seemed to be traveling almost parallel to the ground before it gradually trailed off.

“It was actually quite amazing to see it. Other people must have seen it. I’m just sorry I couldn’t get my phone out quick enough to get a picture of it.”

Did you see the object above the sky in Letterkenny or anywhere in the skyline in Donegal just before 11pm.

If you happened to get a picture or did see it then please send your sighting or picture to info@donegaldaily.com
