Meteorites, fireballs or maybe something more extra-terrestrial may have been seen in the Ballyclare sky in the past fortnight.
Eagle-eyed Ballyclare man Trevor McCusker sent these pictures in of three strange objects he spotted in the night sky.
On Tuesday, July 5, the photographer spotted what he described as a "red ball" in the sky around 11pm.
He said: "It was like a football, It was going very fast from south west to north east. It had no tail just a round ball of fire."
Then on the following Saturday, July 9, he spotted a dark object in the sky at around 9pm.
"It was a black type colour object in the sky," he said.
