Дерри
Ireland

An object appeared in the sky to the west of the Creggan district in the city of Derry. The orange light seemed to rise above the city, it was rectangular in shape. 

At first I thought it might be fireworks, because it was Halloween, and there were a lot of fireworks that night. The shape of the light source changed to make it look like a fireball, and the direction and speed changed as well. 

Other people unknown to me and the person with whom I witnessed this event were also witnesses of this event, and we watched it together. It lasted about 1-2 minutes. 

We all agreed that what we witnessed was strange. I saw a similar event last year (2008) over Dublin, Ireland, however, no one else witnessed this event.
