The likeliest explanation is that it is some space junk burning up in the atmosphere. It happens everyday but just not over Leeds! Hundreds of sattelites for telecommunications and government projects are launched into space every year, once the sattelite is launched the rest of the craft disintigrates and the bits fall back towards earth. The smaller bits burn up on re entry but the bigger bits fall back to earth... usually into the sea because it covers the majority of the planet. The likelihood of it being an alien craft is almost nil. Around 98% of strange Aerial phenomena are identifiable.. the other 2% are not. It is essentially a UFO because it still remains unidentified :)

Given that China recently performed a test of a satellite-destroying missile, is it possible that this was a piece of the destroyed satellite burning up in the atmosphere. Either that or some other space debris.
Dave Wynne
Was Austin's cab taking him to rehab or from it...lol

I thought this was a send-up till I saw the Leeds United dice dangling from the window and then I realised it was Wisey trying to convince the Leeds fans that Aliens were abducting his squad and leaving impersonators of footballers in their place.

I remember seeing something exactly like this in the 60s while having a garden bonfire with my dad. I can picture it like it was yesterday. It crossed the sky left to right and quite low. Our first thought was that it was a plane on fire but the lack of evidence on the news suggested space debris or a very large meteorite. Either way it was an amazing sight as it was mid evening and brilliant against the darkening sky.

a meteorite ( is the spelling correct?) and nothing else.

Heccy White
I saw this too. I would like Mr Green Wood to contact me urgently.

I am compelled to believe Austin's tale - he is an upstanding member of the civic community.
Lord Fontleroy
I suspect you may have been drinking very heavily!
Jeebus

Ian in Rothwell
I agree with Russell. Either a meteor or space debris burning up in the atmosphere. Not often seen, but spectacular when witnessed.

It was the rocket that Dennis Wise had just given his players at training.

I saw something similar back in '22, I can remember it like it was yesterday.
A Hood
Obviously it was a customer who could not pay the increased airport tax on the plane!
Jeff Gbloom
Wow spectacular footage. I wonder what it could be? It doesn't look like a comet.
Nathan Fossey
At last, my parents have come to join me on this strange planet.
Russel Callaghan UFO DATA
Quite a lucky guy to see something like this, it's a shame YTV didn't see it pass over their studios.
Many thousands missed it but Austin caught it.
Could be a bit of space debris or possible fragment of meteor, don't think it's aliens this time but quite a sight.
Gary
I think it is a falling piece of space junk
