Breaking News: Millions see UFO crash, <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Saudi Arabia</st1:place></st1:country-region>

January 20, 2009

Astonishing events are occuring around the world and not as much as a word about them is being written or said in the West. In <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Saudi Arabia</st1:place></st1:country-region> last week what might well have be a UFO, possibly crashing into earth, was witnessed by literally millions of people in the vicinity. Multiple photos of the object have come to light.

Arabic language forums are abuzz with Saudi citizens claiming to have witnessed what is even being described by some in the normally conservative Saudi Arabian press as a possible UFO either crashing to earth or simply executing manoeuvres designed to scare humans.

Others are claiming the object was an Asteroid or a Satellite. Witnesses are reported to be waiting for an explanation from local meteorological bureau’s but have received no answers yet.

ON Wednesday 7th of January after evening prayers a large noise was heard in sky followed by the sighting of an intense large light heading from the west above the Al-Qasim region east of <st1:country-region w:st="on">Saudi Arabia</st1:country-region>’s capital city <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Riyadh</st1:city></st1:place>.

Many locals had seen meteors prior to this but claimed this one did not fit the typical description at all: it was a blue green colour and was shooting out green lasers. One witness Khalid commented ‘No one has ever seen anything like it’ Amazingly for an incident that hasn’t even made the news in the West, the object was seen as far away as <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Kuwait</st1:country-region></st1:place>.

The complete absence of this story within western media is truly surprising as this was not your average incident involving a few people seeing strange things in the sky, the Saudi police recieved thousands of calls about the incident alone.

It was reported that thousands of people were terrified and many even began to pray. Some have posted messages on the web warning that this might be a sign from God for the Kingdoms silence on <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Gaza</st1:place></st1:city>. Locals in the region where the object appeared to be heading claim they heard an explosion and felt a large tremor indicating that the object crashed.

The Saudi government has not released information regarding the crash site but is reported to have sealed the area.

The report appears to be false.It appears the original author of this article used a meteorite video shot in australia as a basis.see the comments section at http://www.nowpublic.com/strange/breaking-news-millions-see-ufo-crash-saudi-arabia-0?comment_sort=recent

chandu_69,

I cannot speak of the validity yet --I am not listening to Arab News Reports. So as of this writting it is a true report.

You have mis-read the disclaimer --the Video that was featured with the article was wrong --NOT the story its self.

Below is the disclaimer at the site you linked.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Note: A video initially linked here has been confirmed to have no connection to this event as was represented in various Saudi media channels. The video has therefore been removed as irrelevant to this story. The video in question was of a meteor sighting in Australia in 2006. Thanks to reader David Moore of Freemantle WA for pointing this out to us.

Should a genuine video come to light we will add a link.
