Wednesday’s ‘UFO sighting’ reopens the caseA BRITISH resident in Cyprus yesterday reported seeing a UFO as he traveled along the Nicosia-Larnaca highway on Wednesday night. The man, who did not wish to be identified, said the UFO had been witnessed by several other motorists who had all slowed down their vehicles to watch the spectacle at around 8.45pm.“At first I thought it was a helicopter. It was in front of me and as soon as saw it I started slowing down and so did the people in front of me and then it speeded up at an incredible speed, hundreds of miles an hour in seconds and literally disappeared in front of our eyes,” the man said.He said the sighting happened at around 8.45pm. He said al the cars in front of him had slowed down trying to digest what they had seen.“It was amazing. I don’t know what it was but it was bizarre. It was up in the sky. It looked like the kind of height of a low-flying plane or a helicopter. That’s why I didn’t immediately think it was odd and then as it started to move and speed up I thought, ‘This is weird’. It was bright white sphere of light hovering slowly,”The man said he checked online yesterday morning and found that UFO sightings were not all that uncommon in Cyprus.“I had heard about UFOs. I’m not a sceptic but I think you can’t really comment unless you have had an experience and for me when I can’t have a sane explanation for what I see… I can’t think of anything else it could be. It was not the kind of thing you could miss. It was incredible,” he added.Police said yesterday no one had reported any UFO sighting, as did the Larnaca Airport Control Tower.“The only thing written in the log book for that time last night is ‘We need new chairs for the control tower’,” said one Civil Aviation official.The official said however that the radar does regularly register what seem to be aircraft but which disappear after three revolutions of the radar. “We call them Angels,” said the official adding that they generally put these ‘phantoms’ down to weather interference. “Of course we are angels here ourselves,” he said.
