HEADLINE: Saudi paper reports UFO sighting in Arabian desert

DATELINE: DUBAI, April 1

BODY:

An unidentified flying object was sighted last week in Saudi Arabia's

oil-producing eastern region, a Saudi newspaper reported on Monday.

"Flying saucer illuminates Jubail," said the headline of a story in the

al-Eqtisadiah paper.

It said the Thursday night sighting was reported by a group of people who

were camping north of the Gulf coast city of Jubail, site of the kingdom's

second largest oil refinery.

"I thought I was dreaming," Shaheen bou A'ainain said.

The witnesses said the area was illuminated for minutes by a brilliant oval

blue light which disappeared "in an unnatural fashion."
