He was in the garden of a friend's home in Kennerleigh Crescent, Cross Gates, at 9.15pm on Wednesday, August 19, when he spotted a "bright, orange, bowl- shaped light" in the sky.
"It looked to be about two miles to the east over towards the A1. It looked about the size of a tennis ball and at first I thought it was an aeroplane and I went to my car to get the binoculars," said Kevin, 52, who drives mini-buses for the council.
"The ball of light was moving south to north over Garforth at about 2,000 ft. It was travelling steadily, but slowly and it disappeared into the distance quite normally," said Kevin.
"I stopped where I was hoping it would come back. Then I went to my car to get in to go home and I saw it again coming from the Colton area about 10pm. It was getting bigger and was about the size of a hot air balloon.
Kevin said he saw his first UFO in 1973 near Pendle Hill, Lancashire and his second in Copley, near Halifax, eight years ago.
