The global paranormal phenomena of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO), often known as flying saucers, was observed in Nigeria in March 2011, according to inhabitants of the small border community of Dulali in Lanzai South Ward, Darazo Local Government Area of Bauchi state.
Almost the whole community of a few hundred people witnessed a brilliant light in the sky just after morning prayer at the local mosque at the time. They observed a large “flying metropolis” or “floating city” drop from the skies shortly after.
The location was Dulali, a border hamlet in Bauchi State’s Lanzai South Ward, Darazo Local Government.
One of the eyewitnesses, Saidu Meshai Dulali, who makes a profession making hot tea, coffee, and cocoa drinks for residents, told journalists from a Nigerian daily that he saw the light in the sky while preparing to start the day’s business after morning prayer at the local mosque.
He was suddenly aware of a dazzling light saturating the environment, followed by the realization that the heavens were falling on the settlement.
He beheld the most spectacular vista of his forty years of existence as he stared up at the oncoming sky. “A huge, big bulk of something that looked like a cloud materialized out of nowhere and was flying slowly above the hamlet just at the height of an average tree,” he said.
“I saw lovely big buildings, asphalt roads, and automobiles within the cloud, which was translucent.” It seemed as though you were in a flying city. And I could hear machinery producing noises coming from it, much as at the Ashaka cement mill.”
It would have been hard to accept Saidu’s story as true if he had been the only witness to this amazing event. Surprisingly, the ‘flying city was seen by nearly all of the residents, hundreds of people, including the Chief Imam of the village’s single mosque. The tale was witnessed by both children and adults, who all verified it.
While out in the fields, Dauda Mohammed, a farmer, also witnessed the. He claimed he saw the UFO in the sky and was more surprised than terrified. He also claimed to have seen skyscrapers engulfed in clouds in the “flying city.”
Ibrahim, a 10-year-old child, claimed to have seen the “UFO” move behind a tree and emerge on the other side. Because he claimed to think the UFO went through the woods, the small youngster was clearly perplexed with his viewpoint view of the remarkable object.
“Perhaps Allah utilized such sightings to open our eyes to how Jinns (spirits) live in their own realm,” said the group. Allah is all-powerful, and there is nothing he can’t accomplish on this planet.
That flying thing returned exactly two weeks after first arriving in our hamlet, at the same exact time, and lingered in the sky roaming over the area for nearly an hour before disappearing. We are overjoyed because it demonstrates that our hamlet is unique; other villages in the area were not even given the opportunity.”
However, Brian Engler believes the “UFO” may have been a “fata morgana” illusion, as he said on the website Doubtful News.
“To me, this sounds like a ‘fata morgana’ mirage, though I’m not sure if the meteorological circumstances at the time and location would have supported it.” On Skeptoid, Brian Dunning has described the phenomenon multiple times, including one that begins with the phrase “castles in the air,” which sounds a lot like what these people reported. In any case, it’s fascinating.”
When questioned if they had seen any living creatures within the UFO, the people of Dulali were unanimous in their statement that no living beings had been observed in that seeming ‘city’ in the sky.
In 2009, just a small percentage of Nigerians had mobile phones. This is especially true in the case of suburban homes. Only the villagers’ memories of an incredible instance survived.
