An interesting video has emerged of an iridium flare in the sky above Ballyshannon, Donegal, Ireland.

The footage, shot on Monday morning, captures the reflection of light coming from a satellite.

"These Satellite flare, also known as satellite glint, is the phenomenon caused by the reflective surfaces on satellites reflecting sunlight directly onto the Earth below and appearing as a brief, bright 'flare'," the filmer wrote online.

Music: "Americana" by Kevin MacLeod (royalty free)
