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."
