Man astounded as mystery light zooms across night sky above Brit city

A man was baffled after he captured a strange illuminating object hovering across the sky above his home.

Paul Ellison, 50, was stargazing near Tyldesley Health Centre on Poplar Street when he suddenly spotted a bright light zooming past at speed.

He quickly took out his phone and recorded the movement in the sky.

The footage shows a circular spot glowing in the dark as it travels in a linear direction from right to left.

It appears to be a lot brighter than the star in the background.

The UFO zooms past at speed and disappears out of frame.

Paul told Manchester Evening News: "I don't have a clue (what it could be).

"I knew it couldn't be International Space Station because it was moving too fast.

"It's hard to get stuff like this in the right time and right place.

"It's definitely too fast for the International Space Station and it's a different shape as well."

Some viewers said they witnessed the same object flying past.

One said: "I saw the same thing when I was in the back garden with my daughter and her boyfriend about two months ago, I thought I was seeing things but they saw it too."

UFOs 'spotted' from ISS

  • ‘High-speed’ object hurtles past station
  • Metallic ‘craft’ appears twice on feed
  • Cosmonaut records ‘five UFOs’
  • ‘Craft with antennae’ spotted
  • A second penned: "Saw the same thing over Accrington around the same time last night moving very fast and low with no sound it had a bright white light with a blue light on its tail heading east. I’ve seen the space station numerous times, it wasn’t the station."

    Others suggested it could be a drone with lights on.

    "Drone on it’s way to do a delivery," a viewer wrote as the other brushed off the speculation of ISS: "Nah mate that was way too fast for the ISS.

    "The space station orbits the Earth in 90 minutes if you see it in the sky it's going a steady slow speed, nothing at all like this sighting."
