WATCH: Can you solve riddle of mystery glow in skies above Sheffield?

A mystery orange glow has been spotted in the skies above Sheffield – and a woman who saw it is calling on others to help solve the riddle.

Tammy Mills has seen the eerie orange glow above homes in the Darnall area several times over the last few weeks.

The glow can be seen to light up the sky for a few seconds - before returning to darkness.

She says she has witnessed it up to five times a night on two separate nights.

Tammy, who lives in Bowden Wood Crescent, said: “It’s towards Darnall and not the Parkway.

“The first time I saw it was on August 30 at around 1.30am and I saw it three times that night between 1.30am and 4am.

“But I have seen it on a few other nights too.”
