DATELINE: DUBAI, April 1 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."
