He said the UFO was similar to the Millennium Falcon, a spaceship made popular in the Star Wars films.

Jadon said: I was watching the live stream on my iPhone on Tuesday night and I popped away to see my neighbours and came back an hour later - I had left the stream on on my phone.

"I looked and realised there was a metal object above the earth. It had a blue glow to it and it stayed there for about two minutes.
