Fireball seen over Ireland
By PADDY CLANCY, www.irishtimes.com, Updated: 03/02/2010
Members of the public throughout the country have been reporting sightings of a fireball in the skies this evening.
Tommy Moore from Astronomy Ireland said a space rock collided with the earth’s atmosphere at about 6pm, showering debris over many parts of the country.
Mr Moore said: “A major explosion happened in the sky over Ireland. We think it’s a fireball, that’s a rock from space the earth has slammed into and they burn up as huge shooting stars. This one appears to have lit up the whole country. The phones here in Astronomy Ireland are going crazy.”

Has there been  any update on this object, I hear that its most likely that it will never be found.
