AMMAN, Jordan -- 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 185 miles (300 kilometers) from the capital, Amman.

I guess people watch way too much tv. It's hard for me to believe so many people are that gullible.

But those lights were real, and they were flares from a military exercise at the Barry Goldwater Air Force practice range. Besides, that happened in early March of 1997, not on April 1st..

I know, I know, but people went nuts anyway and many thought it was UFO's. Crazy world out there.
