Danielle Jaye, 22, took a photo of the beautiful sunset in Hadleigh yesterday at 5.31pm.

It was only when she got home to post the photo on social media she realised there was a mysterious green light in the shot.

“I was walking into Morrisons in Hadleigh on London road to collect my prescription and I took a picture of a sunset which I love taking pictures and I went to post it last night,” she explained.

“I zoomed in and was shocked. I honestly think I've captured some sort of UFO.

“It's too big to be a drone but it's something unusual and interesting.

“I couldn't keep this to myself. I honestly have never seen anything like it and wouldn't expect anything like that around our areas!”
