Mystery Fireball UFO Spotted in Sky Over Plymouth, UK

A Plymouth dad has been left mystified by a flaming object seen floating in the skies above the city. Carl Burnett, 35, spotted the sparking ball of fire traveling above North Road West towards the Hoe on New Year's Day.

Mr. Burnett was with his young son when they saw the burning light and they now want to know if anyone else spotted it. "I was out with my son just before 5pm last night and saw a ball of fire going through the sky," he said. "I filmed it because I wasn't sure if anyone else had seen it.

"It happened at about 4.55pm and it was traveling towards the Hoe and then just disappeared. I was near North Road West. "It looked a bit bigger than a tennis ball with flickers of fire coming from it."

It's thought that the bright light could have been a Chinese Lantern although Carl, from Plymouth, said he couldn't be certain of what it was.
