Unkown satellite-like device falls into Somalia
2007-03-27
(SomaliNet) A baffling device which resembles a satellite or Unidentified Flying Object (U.F.O) has landed in a rural area close to Buulo-Burde town, 220km north of the Somalia capital Mogadishu, eyewitnesses told Shabelle radio on Monday.

Villagers report that the device had fallen in a remote jungle area, some 40km north of Bulo-Burde, killing one camel. No experts have reached there to find out exactly what the object is. The unknown object is sitting on an area of one 100 meter square as people grew more concern over the device that it might explode or contaminate the area.

Ilyas said in the daylight it glitters and but in the nighttime, it turns lights and speaks a strange language which canÂ’t be understood by the villagers.
The device is said to be intact and not broken as it gives alarming signals. No one knows where the satellite-like device had come from. “In the evening of last Wednesday, a large device flew over us and some time later, we heard a big sound, BAM” said Emeril Ilyas Ali, a villager who lives nearby where this large device has fallen. Ilyas said in the daylight it glitters and but in the nighttime, it turns lights and speaks a strange language which can’t be understood by the villagers.

The news of the fallen device was too late because of the remote area it landed and poor communication. Details are emerging in the coming days.

#1  Unknown satellite-like device falls into Somalia

Blue Ice, a delicacy that should be served and consumed at the nearest Mosque. As for the camel, he did his Ummah duty (PBUH).
The "Blue Ice" is way more valuable, trust me it will make the Powerful Islamic Courts™ even more Powerful. allen is great
