A schoolgirl was left stunned after spotted a strange ‘dancing’ light in the sky – but managed to capture the intriguing sight on camera.

11-year-old Katie Real and her sister Macie were playing with their mum Fiona’s laptop on Saturday when they spotted what looked like a ball of light dancing above a house outside, and quickly started filming.

‘I was looking out of my window and a large glowing ball of light caught my eye,’ said Katie.

‘It was moving very fast. I just grabbed my computer and started filming it.’

A ball of flame with a trail seems to come down from the clouds in the distance, spinning, doing circles and loop-the-loops.



The girls initially think it’s a shooting star, but it soon becomes clear that it’s something else.

The ball of light turned red as it continued to fly through the sky, before finally plunging downwards and out of view.

Mum Fiona Fearon, 30, said she was out at the time but her daughters had been very eager to tell her about it when she returned.

‘When she showed it to me I was amazed,’ said Mrs Fearon.

‘Initially we thought it could be a plane on fire but it appeared to be dancing across the sky. It was an amazing sight.

Mrs Fearon rang a nearby airfield the morning after to ask if the light was anything to do with them, but they said no.

‘It looked like it went crashing into the field and that’s the end – but there was no noise,’ Fiona said.

Katie added: ‘It was pretty scary.

‘I’d love to know what it was.’
