Kelly Dawson had stepped outside her home on Boxing Day with friend Leanne Newby when they spotted a "flaming orange ball" hurtling towards them in the sky.
Kelly, of Sandy Way in Connah's Quay, said she had never seen anything like it before and is appealing to anyone else in the area who may have seen the "phenomenal sight", to get in touch with the Evening Leader.
Kelly, 24 said: "We were both outside and I looked up and asked Leanne what she thought it was.
"It was as high as a plane would be in the sky but it was moving towards us at some pace.
"It was about the size of a single traffic light and it was bright orange and looked like it was on fire, but there was absolutely no noise coming from it.
"I shouted for my husband Ian, and Leanne's husband, Lee, to come out to see what we were shouting about.
"We all stood back in astonishment – it was an amazing sight.
"It came closer and closer and then it flew over the house.
"We all ran around the back of the house to see where it had gone, but by that time it had disappeared."
Kelly reported the sighting to the police.
After researching on the internet, Kelly is confident that the sighting was of a UFO and not a meteorite.
"It didn't have a tail and it looked very similar to what other people have seen and from what I have seen from video evidence on the internet," said mum-of-one, Kelly.
"People have also said that when it was passing over their homes, it interfered with the electrics in their house.
"Our satellite broadcast TV went off six or seven times when this happened – so I am convinced that this was something from outer space!"
"This is the first time I have seen anything like this and it really has changed my opinion on UFOs and similar things.
"Before this sighting, I was quite sceptical about this kind of thing, but now I am convinced there is something out there."
The sighting comes after a number of reports of strange lights in the sky above Mynydd Isa on Christmas Day, and similar sightings across the region over the past year.
