witnessed by police officers and several civilians. One of the police officers sighted
2 cylindrical shaped UFOs.
Quote from the article:
“Another police officer made a
sighting late Saturday afternoon.
He reported seeing two
cigar-shaped craft, each ‘about the size of a boxcar,’ flying across the sky. They
appeared to be made of a shiny metal, like aluminium, he said. He watched them
for a few minutes until they disappeared behind a cloud.
The officer said the objects
could not possibly have been any type of plane or conventional craft.”
