Here’s a photo and news story that appeared in a newspaper in Qatar:
Mysterious figure ‘spotted’
A mysterious figure resembling a human being was sighted on the Doha Corniche’s parking lot, according to a report published in a local Arabic daily. The report is based on the statement of an Arab expatriate lady who said she had seen the strange figure near the Oryx statue while walking in the area. Quoting the woman, the daily said she took a picture of it in spite of being terribly frightened. “She was very soon surrounded by a large number of people who also attested to the fact of what she had seen. But it suddenly disappeared out of their sight when they tried to go near it,” the report added.
Well, this report seems reliable. I mean, there were a “large number” of witnesses present who backed up her story. The article says so itself.
But still I felt sure that there must be a rational explanation, and sure enough, someone pointed out that this “alien” bears a striking resemblance to a well-known toy:
So there you have it. Nothing to see here. No aliens. Just another case of a toy magically coming to life and running around scaring people.
