A UFO has been caught on video falling from the sky over a Yorkshire village.

The shocking footage was taken Neil Standish over Wheldrake.

It shows a bright orange object plummeting out of the sky, with a tail of smoke billowing behind it.

Neil spotted the UFO at around 3.30pm on Tuesday, March 5.

Now he has contacted The Press to ask: “Do you know what caused this? There were around 10 in 10 minutes.”

Glen Richardson, the founder of the British UFO Network (BUFON), has also joined the investigation and is asking for any more witnesses who may have seen the object to get in touch.
