Bright iridium flare in the night sky

  • 7 years ago
An interesting video has emerged of an iridium flare in the sky above Ballyshannon, Donegal, Ireland.

The footage, shot on Monday morning, captures the reflection of light coming from a satellite.

"These Satellite flare, also known as satellite glint, is the phenomenon caused by the reflective surfaces on satellites reflecting sunlight directly onto the Earth below and appearing as a brief, bright 'flare'," the filmer wrote online.
