Multiple experienced observers (including myself) have witnessed what looked like a typical rocket stage re-entry at approximately 21:58 GMT tonight, September 21. However, the train of objects was moving East to West across the sky north of Dublin. I saw seven objects - a brighter lead as bright as the ISS, followed by others of decreasing magnitude and all slightly yellow/orange in colour, about 20 deg above the horizon directly due north of Dublin city centre. They faded rapidly after less than a minute. Observers in the Wicklow mountains south of Dublin also report the sighting, as well as an experienced astronomer in Dundalk - 80 km north of Dublin (no word yet on what direction he was looking).
