Given the ‘Big Brother’ label seemingly associated with the UK for its apparent fondness for close-circuit cameras on every street corner, it’s perhaps not surprising that the country’s vast ranks of electronic eyes are prone to watching things other than crime.

Specifically, an early morning BBC news program has hit the headlines across the pond after one of its regional Web cameras inadvertently spotted a UFO streaking across a quiet city skyline.The Web shot of Gateshead’s Millennium Bridge was running behind BBC Look North breakfast show presenter Colin Briggs at around 09:00 GMT when a bright white cylindrical object was suddenly rocketed past the lens and away into the distance.“Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Just what is it? We don’t know,” said Briggs regarding the BBC’s unidentified flying object.“Perhaps you can help,” he asked viewers the following day. “If so, do let us know. And remember, don’t have nightmares.”Slow motion replays of the strange accelerating object reveal no surface details or obvious markings that would suggest it to be a bird or perhaps a manmade mechanical device. UFO experts quoted by UK tabloid publication The Sun have said they’re mystified by the footage -- which does not represent the first time BBC Look North has experience a close encounter with unexplained video content.In February of 2007, a viewer from Leeds sent the program some sensational footage of a glowing UFO passing through the sky while billowing a mysterious white plume in its wake.
