RAPTORS SPACE

A Jordanian newspaper's April Fool's Day report chronicling a late-night visit by 10 foot tall aliens in flying saucers sparked public panic and almost led to the town's emergency evacuation, officials said Monday.

The Al Ghad newspaper published a front-page article April 1 about the fake UFO landing near the desert town of Jafr, some 300 kilometers from the capital, Amman. The report said the UFOs lit up the whole town, interrupted communications and sent fearful residents streaming into the streets.

I believe a reputable newspaper cannot get caught up in things like April fools and send an entire country into a frenzy.
