According to the BBC (which illustrates its story with a silly graphic of flying saucers) the BA pilot contacted Shannon at 0647 local (= UTC at this time of year) on 9 November (UFOs spotted off Irish coast under investigation).
The annual Leonid meteor shower is taking place, but not due to peak until the coming weekend, and shouldn't have been active in that area at that time last Friday. Perhaps satellite debris?
