People who live in and around the Greater Manchester area have been left baffled by a mysterious object in the sky.

Dozens of residents took to social media to share pictures and videos of the peculiar sighting.

Some asked ‘what the f**k is it’ while others speculated what the object may be – with a UFO, plane or rocket among the most popular theories.

Pictures showed the strange device with a thick orange plume underneath it.

While a video, sent to the Manchester Evening News showed it travelling across the sky at some speed.

The suspected aircraft has been spotted in Didsbury and Wythenshawe in South Manchester, as well as Ashton-under-Lyne in Tameside.

One bemused resident posted on her local Facebook page asking: "Did anyone else see this over East Didsbury about 45 minutes ago?

"Was it the sun catching a vapour trail of a plane?" Another wrote on a Wythenshawe community group: "Did anyone else see this? It's not a plane. Looks like a rocket but what is it all about?"

One woman in Ashton-Under-Lyne said she noticed the bizarre object outside her house at around 6.30 pm this evening.
