BERLIN - Police say a young man's creative marriage proposal triggered reports of unidentifyed flying objects from worried Germans. Bavarian police say several people called late Wednesday evening to alert them to what they thought were UFOs and unusual lights drifting across the sky above the sleepy town of Platting.

They say a police patrol set off to investigate - but was disappointed in its quest for unusual visitors.

A police statement Thursday said officers found a 29-year-old man who had just proposed to his 27-year-old girlfriend.

He had accompanied his proposal by sending up 50 paper lanterns that glowed in the night. Police say his girlfriend said "yes".

Very creative indeed

Invintive marriage proposals are alien in their own right.

Oh its such a wonderful way to propose. Thats creative.

At least he didn't put the ring in a balloon and watch it fly away over the Atlantic, like that noob did a few weeks ago.

Hahahaha! He got more lights flashing than he bargained for.

LOL, I forgot about that...

*giggles* Indeed.

I hope that when I get proposed to, it'll be something sweet and special too.

The engagement ring had some extra brilliance to it.

hehe- thats a cool story

very sweet. 1 balloon for each year he intends to spend w/ her.

Haha! Wow, that shows dedication to your goal. Romance isn't dead, boys! Learn a lesson from this one!
