Another aeroplane?

Footage of a 'UFO' flying over Arbourthorne in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, captured at 6.07pm on May 6. Sheffield resident Jennifer Dunstan said her cousin was already looking up planes they could see using an app on their phone when their attention was drawn by the flying white shape - which turned up nothing on the app.

Could have been either of these two. I dont think there's enough detail (shadows?) in the video to work out if the plane is flying N-S or W-E. Going on time alone, and proximity to the witness maybe the AerLingus one is more likely?

Possibly either plane is close enough without knowing the exact direction of looking.
probably the lower altitude. its white and she says the "other plane" was producing a contrail.
I cant tell where arbourthorne is on flarkeys map there, but the plane is flying left to right (unless the newspaper flipped the footage for some reason)

Article:
“The other plane had one of those little streams going behind it like planes do, but this other thing didn’t.”


PS you guys and @flarkey should add source links, so we dont have to all do the work you already did.
 
Here's a chart of distances and angles.

Really the key thing to remember is that when the angle wth the horizon is 45°, then the plane will pass you at horizontal distance equal to its altitude. So within 6 or 7 miles.

I don't think I need to link to a map you can use basic tools if you want to know where something is in relation to somewhere.

i meant the adsb map so other members dont have to figure out the playback buttons and time formats etc. if you dont want to helpful...that's fine.
