Thais see the " Devil's Disk in the sky "(UPA News Service and The Times of India) BANGKOK, October 16.
Yesterday, from noon to 18:00, thousands of residents of Bangkok and Tomburi watched a bright object slowly moving tens of thousands of feet overhead. This morning's newspapers published headlines with headlines:
"The city is excited by the devil's disk."
The correspondent of the UPA, who watched the object for half an hour, said:
"It has a point light, like a planet - it did not flicker like a star, but glowed. The object was moving slowly across the sky. It was an absolute movement, because I tested it with clouds."
Rear Admiral Charun V. Vunnag, chief of the Naval Meteorological Department, said that the department has observed this phenomenon, but cannot yet identify it. He added that he received a message from a Korat in the north-east of Thailand about the same phenomenon ten days ago.
