Backpackers travelling around Romania might want to prepare themselves for a sight straight out of the DC universe.
Police in Gemeni village in Mehedinti county are investigating the claims of 20 villagers, who reportedly saw a Superman-esque figure soaring across the night sky.
Written statements were taken from all 20 witnesses, with all of the testimonies reporting the flight of a blue-clad figure, reports Ananova.
Ion Anuta, of the local police force, commented: "We talked to people of different ages who are all reliable citizens in our village.
"They all said they saw this strange creature who flew over their houses in his shiny blue costume. We'll just have to see what happens next."
Constantin Toader, one of the village witnesses, related his experience.
"He looked like Superman and was flying slowly at about 100 yards from the ground in a standing position. He didn't make any smoke or sound. Just cruising around."
