UFO experts have been alerted after a mysterious flying object was sighted over Selby town centre.
Friends Chris Delaney, 34, of Barlby, and Adam Deakin, 39, of Selby, were walking home after a night out on November 8 at about 1am when they spotted an orange glowing object moving quickly across the sky.
The UFO was travelling from east to west just above the tree line, looking across from Micklegate car park to Scott Road community field.
Adam said: "We had been to the pub and we were merry but we were absolutely not paralytic.
"We were just going through the alleyway from Finkle Street to the car park when Chris looked up and said 'what's that?'.
"I know the night sky because I'm into astronomy, and I know it wasn't a meteor because it was moving at a steady pace. We watched it for about 15 seconds, but meteors are white with a trail and are gone in just a few seconds.
