One video, filmed on a driver's dash-cam, shows a ray of blue light blazing across the sky. Another clip shows the sky turning neon blue leaving the crowd mesmerised.

Early reports claim that the blue flash could be seen through the night sky for hundreds of kilometres. However, there is no official confirmation that it hit the earth's surface. Other social media users claimed that meteors might have fallen near the town of Castro Daire.
