UFOs Spotted Over Eger

Two friends on a night fishing expedition in the wine town of Eger took six photos of a unidentified flying object believed to be a, er, UFO, rtlklub.hu reports. The photos were taken by two men - who are only identified as Tibor and Ferenc in the accompanying video - while they were fishing on a lake formed by an abandoned mine. The pictures show a bright object in different positions in the dark sky. Nobody knows what the thing was, but, say Tibor, Ferenc and others, it was clearly not a disco laser or car headlight. "The light came from the inside of it," Tibor said. "It had volume, it was three-dimensional. If I compare it to the moon, its light was much stronger. It was right ahead of us, 150 meters away."

The two men arrived at the lake at around 9:30 p.m on the evening of May 24. Only a few minutes had passed when the object appeared and flew towards them without making a sound. Then it suddenly stopped and disappeared behind the forest. The electric discharge of the object caused Tibor's watch to stop, and the two men lost their sense of time and space. Meanwhile, the bright light frightened animals in the area; Tibor's dog ran to the forest whining and wasn't found until fifteen minutes later, cowering in a hole in a tree trunk.

"Now I think that [aliens] exist," Tibor said. "When the time comes, they show themselves. This was the time. I have to admit, the hair on my arm still stands up when we talk about it."

One of Hungary's leading UFO experts, Tibor Sós, who has analyzed more than 100 UFO sightings over the past fifteen years, said the photos weren't manipulated. "Whatever it was, the typical saucer shape can be seen on it. The diameter is about eight or ten meters." Sós took a reading of radiation in the area, which he said was normal, indicating that the UFO didn't land.

Sós also said that he believes aliens are friendly, but just don't like to be seen. Which seems odd, given some of the things other Magyars who have had close encounters of the UFO kind have told the Szeged-based alienist. In fact, it makes us wonder if someone should be taking a closer look at him.
