Another strange object has been spotted in the skies above Keighley.

A man out walking his dog late on Wednesday evening saw a bright cigar-shaped craft fly northwards over the town.

Retired fireman Leslie Howard, 61, said the object was definitely not an aircraft.

He was in fields close to his home at Coppy Road, Steeton, at about 11.15pm when he noticed the puzzling projectile.

Keighley is a renowned hotspot for UFO sightings, with countless reports being received over the years of unexplained happenings in the district's skies.

Mr Howard told us: "The object was a very bright silvery colour and was moving through the sky quite quickly. It was fairly long and went behind cloud at one point, but it was not a plane. There were no flashing lights.

"I reported it to the police and also contacted Leeds-Bradford Airport, which said there were no aircraft in that vicinity at the time.

"It's a mystery."
