Irish Astronomers: Help us explain the "sky explosion"

An Irish astronomy group is calling for help in tracing the origin of a huge explosion in the skies over the country on Thursday evening.

Astronomy Ireland said it was currently investigating the explosion, which occurred at 2100 BST.

A spokesman said the most likely explanation was a space rock or satellite crashing into the atmosphere.

Gosh, that was easy. When you look through your 'Jesus glasses,' the same explanation works for everything.
