On our way home one very dark evening we were driving through Catcliffe, and high up in the night sky I saw a bright white light. 

He stopped, and we both got out of the car and looked at it. It was very bright, very tall, and still. We watched him for a few minutes, then he started moving fast. 

What really struck me was how when you try to kill a fly, it instantly changes direction. That's exactly what the light was doing, suddenly changing direction by 90%. It lasted a couple of minutes, then disappeared. 

As for the altitude, I can estimate it to be about 4 or 5 times higher than that of light aircraft flying over the city. It's hard to judge on a dark night, looking straight up. I would say that the speed at which it changes direction is impossible for any flying aircraft I know of. 

Witness name: Kate Axelby.

Summary:   On our way back home one very dark evening, we were driving through Catcliffe and I saw a bright white light high in the night sky. Pulled over and we both got out of the car and watched it. It was very bright and very high and stationary. We watched it for several minutes then it started moving fast. What really grabbed me was it was like when a you try to swot a fly and it can instantly change direction. This was what the light was doing, suddenly changing direction 90%. This went on for a couple of minutes then it disappeared. As far as height is are concerned I can only estimate about 4 or 5 times higher than what light aircraft fly over a city. Difficult to judge on a dark night looking straight up. The speed it changed direction I would say is impossible for any flying aircraft I know of. Witness Name: Keith Axelby
