The strange phenomena, described as an orb of light inside a disk-shaped purple haze, continues to make headlines worldwide after being captured on camera.
In the latest case, The Irish Sun reported that a "bizarre UFO" was pictured in daylight above County Leitrim, which it said was a UFO hotspot.
The newspaper website described it as an "eerie snap of a UFO," and said it had been recorded as a sighting by the Filer’s Research Institute, the US-based National UFO Center, run by Major George A. Filer, who spent 20 years in the Air Force working as an intelligence officer, and is now convinced aliens exist.
The Irish Sun warded of sceptics, saying: "Before you dismiss it as a picture of the moon at night – the image was taken in broad daylight."
It called on astronomer Eamonn Ansbro of Kingsland Observatory in Boyle, Co Roscommon, for his view.
He said he thought the latest sighting could be a new form of light known as a plasma ball.
He said: "There’s a similar ball of light that has been seen in a place called Hessdalen in Norway.
“I know the people who operate there and they have automated instrumentation that has recorded them, and we’ve had recordings here as well.
“It appears to be a new form of light in physics that we don’t know about yet, so we’re putting the physics to it to see what it’s about.”
But, Express.co.uk can reveal that the object in question is actually a common form of lens flare - meaning there was nothing outside the camera when the snap was taken.
