Somerset Live reports the area, near the town of Warminster, has a reputation as a UFO hotspot - and the local who spotted this particular object said it has been seen numerous times.

He told Somerset Live: “[It's] probably a drone with a fancy flame effect tail or something. It's been spotted a few times locally.”

The clip has caught the attention of so-called 'sky watchers' online - a community which studies clips of UFOs from around the world.
