In the Heart of the Sahara, a “Flying Saucer” That Wasn’t

For a few days, social media was ablaze. Internet users around the world thought they had uncovered long-awaited proof of extraterrestrial life after a Google Maps image began circulating — what looked like a flying saucer appeared to be partially buried in the sands of the Sahara, not far from the small town of Bordj Omar Driss in southern Algeria.

The story was first launched by well-known UFO researcher Scott Waring. Scanning satellite images of this remote desert region, he came across a circular structure that he immediately interpreted as a crashed spaceship resting some ten meters underground. Soon enough, the rumor gained momentum: forums and specialized pages shared the image, fueling the idea of a forgotten alien craft hidden beneath the dunes.

But the mirage was quickly shattered. Upon closer inspection of the surrounding area, another researcher spotted an identical structure nearby, this one topped with a tower under construction. It turned out to be nothing more than the concrete base of a wind turbine — a perfectly ordinary round foundation in the eyes of engineers.

This mix-up is yet another reminder of the dangers of jumping to conclusions in the world of UFO research. In the age of the internet, a single intriguing image is enough to fire up the collective imagination. Yet, more often than not, the reality is far less mysterious than fiction: before seeing a flying saucer in the desert, it’s usually wise to consider whether it’s simply an ordinary human project after all.

A Ghost at 30,000 Feet: Psychic Says Spirits Fly Ryanair Too

Flying is frightening enough these days—but imagine locking eyes with a ghost mid-flight. That’s exactly what happened to psychic Chloe Smith, who says a spirit acknowledged her with a salute aboard a Ryanair flight.

“He was sitting next to a man, just five rows in front of me,” Smith recalls. “He turned around and looked straight at me, as if he knew I could see him.” The moment, brief but powerful, came with a silent message: I see you too.

Chloe Smith is no stranger to encounters with the other side. According to her, ghosts appear to her almost daily—in airports, hotels, swimming pools, and now airplanes. “They find ways to let me know they’re there,” she explains. “Sometimes it’s a look, a feeling, a small shift in energy. I’m never really on vacation. And you’re never really alone.”

As for who the ghost on the Ryanair flight might have been, Smith is hesitant to speculate. “Maybe he was there for a nervous family member. Or perhaps he was a former pilot who once flew that very aircraft. They often return to familiar places.”

While most travelers fear turbulence or delays, the idea of a ghost on board may rattle some even more. But Smith insists that the spirits she sees aren’t there to frighten—they’re often protective. “They’re usually gentle presences. Watchful. Caring.”

So next time you board a plane, keep an eye out. If you catch a ghostly figure waving, let’s hope it’s a friendly hello—and not a final goodbye.
