Police are investigating after villagers in Romania claimed to see a Superman-like figure flying through the sky.

Almost 20 villagers, from Gemeni, Mehedinti county, claim the UFO was wearing a shiny blue suit, just like Superman’s.

Police officers took written statements from all of the witnesses and say they described the figure in the same way.

Local policeman Ion Anuta said: “We talked to people of different ages who are all reliable citizens in our village.

“They all said they saw this strange creature who flew over their houses in his shiny blue costume. We’ll just have to see what happens next.”

Villager Constantin Toader, 41, said: “He looked like Superman and was flying slowly at about 100 yards from the ground in a standing position. He didn’t make any smoke or sound. Just cruising around.”

Smerk the cutest dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In Western Australi

Little Accipiter loved that girl enough
He told her jokes and crazy facts
And other forum stuff

Smerk the cutest dragon:
Traveled cross the sea,
To hunt her prey in foriegn lands,
And snuggle with Acci!

Smerk the cutest dragon
Is getting married now they say
Though little Accipiter
Has yet to name the day.

Superman?

Amazing. Batman’s been seen in Glasgow recently.

I say “He’s been seen”, I mean I’ve been dressing up as Batman and kicking neds in with Batarangs and sticking large batwings to my car.

Obviously, he was destroying the US spy satellite which then crashed into Peru.  I’m surprised that Ananova hasn’t realised the truth.

Ananova, yeah… only beaten by FoxNews and Pravda when it comes to reliable sources.

It sounds a lot like this silliness.  (Check out the “winged entity” with a “dark entity” below it—sure looks like a fuzzy photo of a parachute above a skydiver to me!)

I could see people catching a glimpse of this pasttime and being confused as to what they’re seeing.

My thoughts exactly, Joe.

Well, either that or this. wink
