BA and Virgin pilots report seeing bright lights that disappeared at high speed

The Irish Aviation Authority is investigating after an unidentified flying object was sighted by pilots flying over Ireland.
On the morning of 9 November the pilot of British Airways flight BA94 from Montreal called air traffic control in Shannon to report seeing an object moving past her aircraft, and asked if there were any military exercises taking place off the west coast of Ireland.
It was moving so fast, she said. It came up on our left-hand side and then rapidly veered to the north. It was a very bright light that disappeared at very high speed.
According to a recording of the conversation by Airlive, a site for enthusiasts, the pilot was told there were no military exercises in the area. Theres nothing showing on either primary or secondary [radar], air traffic control said, according to the report.

12 November 2018
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".

Been here a while and there's not a thing we can do about.
What's different is that the Irish gov't is not covering it up and that msm is reporting it.
