Are you ready for some out-of-this-world news?

Residents of Barstow, CA are claiming there was an unidentified flying object (UFO) landing on a local highway on Saturday, Dec. 12, which has been sparking internet forum postings.

The sighting was called to our attention by a reader Eric.

A relative of a witness reported on an internet forum Godlikeproductions.com about the sighting Saturday at 1:20 pm EST:

“My sister just received a call from her stepson from Barstow who attested that a UFO landed on one of the major highways there (presumeably Interstate 40 or 15). The UFO was surrounded by a team of black cars.

Witnesses are questioning whether this is a Government UFO or the ‘real thing.’ My sister is waiting for a return call from her stepson. I’ll give more details as they arrive.”

Today the same person, maya2012, wrote back to the forum after hearing more information from the sister:

“Her nephew called today. Apparently, the UFO landed (or crashed) off off the road early in the morning when it was still dark outside.

The police and black cars arranged themselves so that their headlights were facing outward, making it difficult for people to see what was happening.

My nephew’s coworker took two pictures but they came out somewhat blurry. He stated that you could partially see the UFO in one picture.

My nephew doesn’t have the pictures, his coworker does. We’re still trying to get them. A large military transport was brought in to take the UFO back to the nearby military base.”

Whether the UFO was an alien spacecraft or a military plane is unknown.

If the UFO claims are true, there will probably be other Barstow residents reporting the sighting soon since it was on a highway.

It should be interesting to hear what other people from Barstow have to say about the sighting.
