UPDATE: The truth behind the sparking UFO video revealed.
A delivery driver captured a bizarre video of an unidentified ball of light sparking in the skies over Market Harborough.
JJ Xia, who is also a student at the University of Sheffield, caught the mysterious UFO when he was working on Saturday night (June 22).
The slow-moving fiery orb at first appears to be a firework - complete with sparks and coloured explosions.
But the object remains in the skies for too long to be a common rocket, and its movements appear far more controlled than a normal firework.
JJ has no explanation what the cause of the bizarre light show might be.
The 20-year-old said: "I was looking at it and I thought it might be fireworks but it was going on for way too long.
"So I thought it might be a kite or something on fire, but I am not really sure."
The flying object looks similar to a firework, but is moving very slowly and flies around for almost two minutes before disappearing behind a tree.
Sparks, similar to smaller fireworks, can also be seen flying off at various intervals throughout the video.
JJ also said that it was the second one of the objects he saw that night.
He said: "The first one I saw was there just a few minutes before and I wondered what was going on.
"They were happening right next to each other and I wondered what was going on.
"I stopped the car and as soon as I did, the first one disappeared. I got out my phone and the second one started.
"At first, I thought it might be the military doing tests."

Although JJ thinks there is a perfectly reasonable explanation, he has not ruled out the possibility of extra-terrestrial intervention.
He said: "I do believe there are other life forms besides those on earth.
"Unless there is another logical explanation that comes up, I think this could have been aliens."
Is it aliens?
