Two dim oval shaped lights behind low cloudcover seen for 20 minutes over Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, Ireland in the North Eastern sky.
The evening was wet, cloud cover low. I was walking North West through the town of Dun Laoghaire, which is a suburb of Dublin, to catch a DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit). A movement in the sky caught my attention. I saw a barely discernable oval of light moving in the North Eastern sky. The source of the light appeared to be behind the cloud. Then I noticed a second, identical oval of light. They looked like two dim searchlights and they moved around each other in large circular patterns, giving the impression that they were dancing performing a dance. In size they appeared to be like two small moons, but much, much dimmer.
They were so dim that I wondered were my eyes playing tricks on me. I watched them until I entered the station. Down on the platform I looked to see if they were still moving around in the North Eastern corner of the sky, they were. As I'm a little short sighted I thought I had better get a second opinion. Pointing Northwest I asked a man standing on the platform if he could see the lights. He said he did and made some comment on UFOs and left it at that.
My train arrived 5 minutes later. The journey to my station took about 7 minutes. My wife was waiting for me with the car. I looked North East. They were still there, still moving in that fluid circular pattern and in constant relationship to one another. I asked my wife could she see them. She said she did.
The date of the sighting is approximate, allow a week either way.
I have no opinion on what I saw
