UFO larkin,MAlaysia, ENGLISH VERSION

A GRAPHIC designer claimed that he spotted an unidentified flying object (UFO) circling overhead in Taman Dato’ Onn, Larkin in Johor at 10pm on Thursday, reported Kosmo!.

Mohd Zamri Zain, 30, said the UFO was seen for a few hours before it disappeared into the clouds.

He added that the lit object had appeared a few times since early March and was initially seen by his brother Zaid Zain, 43.

He recorded the UFO’s movements with his digital camera and did not believe the object was a laser light or reflection from an aeroplane.

“This is because it would be impossible to see it when the clouds covered the sky,” he said.

When the images from his camera were enlarged on his computer, Mohd Zamri claimed that white and green lights could be seen clearly on the object.

> A 19-year-old student became blind in one eye when he was hit by a tear-gas canister fired during a riot by football fans outside the Sultan Muhammad IV stadium in Kota Baru on Tuesday.

Sinar Harian reported that the incident occurred when Muhammad Huzaifah Mohd Noor was arranging items at the drinks stall owned by his cousin Abdul Rahman Hussein, 48.

“I saw the teargas canisters coming towards us and managed to avoid them but Muhammad Huzaifah was unable to do so,” Abdul Rahman said.

He signalled Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel to stop firing and rushed his cousin to hospital.

Muhammad Huzaifah, who studies at the Pengkalan Chepa Industrial Training Institute, said he no longer had any hopes to continue his studies given his current condition.
