Fleeing villagers mistook disco lights for aliens

A Romanian village was left deserted after its inhabitants fled in panic after mistaking disco lights in a nearby town for an alien invasion.

Villagers in Cristinesti, eastern Romania, thought they were under attack by aliens when they saw bright, multicoloured lights in the sky and started leaving the village en masse.

But police who were called out to investigate discovered the lights were coming from an open air disco in the town of Herta near the Ukrainian border, the daily Adevarul reported.

They persuaded the villagers to eventually return to their homes.

Costel Roman, one of the villagers, said: "Everybody was out on the streets and wondering what to do if the aliens landed.

"We believed we were seeing UFOs and some old legends from around here about clocks stopping, animals

going crazy and a previous UFO landing in the area suddenly came to our minds. We were terrified."

He added: "We were so happy when we heard we had escaped an alien invasion."

I have noticed a ton of these 'wacky' stories coming out of Romania lately. It makes me wonder if there is some guy sitting in Romania making up stories to get them picked up on the wires. Frankly, after reading some of them I really do hope they are fake.
