The Irish Aviation Authority is investigating reports of bright lights and UFOs off the south-west coast of Ireland.
爱尔兰航空管理局正在调查有关爱尔兰西南海岸发现闪着高度亮光的不明飞行物的报道。
It began at 06:47 local time on Friday 9 November when a British Airways pilot contacted Shannon air traffic control.
该不明飞行物于11月9日星期五当地时间06:47被发现,当时英国航空公司的一名飞行员联系了香农空中交管部。
She wanted to know if there were military exercises in the area because there was something "moving so fast".
她想知道该地区是否有军事演习,因为她看见有一些“飞快运行”的东西。
The air traffic controller said there were no such exercises.
空中交通管制员说没有这样的演习。
The pilot, flying from the Canadian city of Montreal to Heathrow, said there was a "very bright light" and the object had come up along the left side of the aircraft before it "rapidly veered to the north".
从加拿大蒙特利尔市飞往希思罗机场的飞行员说,看到飞机左侧有一个“非常明亮的灯光迅速转向北方”。
She was wondering what it could be but said it did not seem to be heading for a collision.

Another pilot from a Virgin plane joined in and suggested it might be a meteor or another object re-entering the earth’s atmosphere.

He said there were "multiple objects following the same sort of trajectory" and that they were very bright.

The pilot said he saw "two bright lights" over to the right which climbed away at speed.
飞行员说,他看到他右边有“两盏明亮的灯光”以极快的速度爬升。
One pilot said the speed was "astronomical, it was like Mach 2" - which is twice the speed of sound.
一名飞行员说这个物体运行的速度简直是“天文数字,就像马赫2”,也就是声速的两倍。
