While driving to work this morning from Ardfert in Co. Kerry, I saw what was easily the largest balloid I have ever seen. It seemed to start at the zenith and traveled relatively slowly south by south east. Anyone in South Kerry or west Cork would have had a good view. Anyone else see it ? It did not explode, had a slight blue/green colour and disappeared about 20 degrees above the southern horizon. A small fragment seemed to break off before disappearing.
The time was 7:30am +/- 2 minutes and it must have been magnitude -4 easily.

Nice catch Paddy, welcome to the boards
Cheers

It was big, did not hear anything as I had earphones.
IMO it broke into a number of pieces prior to disappearing somewhere over Tramore (South East).
