Is it a bird? A plane? Superman has been sighted at long last. Police are investigating after villagers in Romania claimed to see a Superman-like figure flying through the sky.
Ananova reports that nearly 20 villagers, from Gemeni, Mehedinti county, claim the UFO was wearing a shiny blue suit, just like Superman's.
Could this possibly be the last son of Krypton, Kal-el?
After police officers took written statements from all of the witnesses they found that they all described the figure in the same way.
"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 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."
If this is Superman, what brought him out of hiding from his Fortress of Solitude at the North Pole? No one knows.
Similar reports have been made in the past. Only time will tell. If would would land long enough for an interview, I am available.
