There's more than 6,000 strikes every year from objects that are large enough and dense enough to reach the surface. That's not even counting all the ones that completely burn up in the atmosphere. You're not going to hear about most of them online.

You should really visit an actual dark sky at some point. I don't think Ireland has any left. They're pretty scarce in Europe in general but if you can get to a class 1 sky on a clear night with no moon it's one of the most spectacular sights you'll ever see.

trust me i would die for the sight but any remotely good dark sky has been flocked to by people or is so underground they see a person a week, at least theres a lot of quite dark areas where you can see a bit
