The Irish Aviation Authority is investigating reports of bright lights and UFOs off the south-west coast of Ireland.
It began at 06:47 local time on Friday 9 November when a British Airways pilot contacted Shannon air traffic control.
She wanted to know if there were military exercises in the area because there was something "moving so fast".
The air traffic controller said there were no such exercises.
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".
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.
One pilot said the speed was "astronomical, it was like Mach 2" - which is twice the speed of sound.
"Following reports from a small number of aircraft on Friday 9 November of unusual air activity the IAA has filed a report," the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) said.
"This report will be investigated under the normal confidential occurrence investigation process."
A spokesperson for Shannon Airport said it would not be appropriate for the airport to comment while the IAA investigation is ongoing.

Read the transcript of this, very strange, pilots don't usually talk about it as they fear either ridicule or being grounded.

The end was poetic.
He asks some instrumental scientist involved with developing the Saturn V rocket about the likelihood of intelligent life visiting and he just completely straight bats him away, only for Von Dankiken to end saying he forwarded his evidence to him Where many then just drove cart and horses through it, including Carl Sagan whom VD had praised so highly before hand. Not to mention the alleged April Fool of Mar's 'hollow satellites' |

Von Daniken is still doing lecture tours and selling books. And the Ancient Astronaut believers are making plenty as well
