Ms Ashton is convinced the object she saw was extraterrestrial.

She said. "I don't know what else it could be."

Ashton saw the object just after midnight, WMC-TV reports.

She said: "It was at least the size of a football field.

"I was laying in my bed and I have a huge window that goes across the wall of my bedroom. And I saw a bright blinding light. I mean it was huge."

She told the TV station that the UFO was soundless as it hovered above the field before disappearing.
