POLICE were inundated with calls from scores of people
from Didim to Bodrum after they heard a big bang and a
flash of light across the skies.
Despite officers being unable to explain the flashing
green, yellow and red lights, Voices has solved the
phenomena.
It was not a UFO but a meteorite which crash through
the earths atmosphere and landed in Yeþilkent.
A startled Abdullah Arýtürk revealed that the rock had
smashed a hole in the ground at the Green Park
Complex, at Yeþilkent, narrowly missing him by ten
metres.
Police reported that people from Bodrum, Milas and
Didim had heard a bang and seen the flashing light
across the skies at about 5.30pm on Thursday (Jan 31).
Mr Arýtürk said: I thought this was it. I thought it
was the apocalypse. I saw the bang and the flashing
lights and this rock smashed into the ground quite
near me. It was very frightening.
After telling the Voices of his story, Mr Arýtürk is
now awaiting scientists from Aegean University, in
Ýzmir, to take the meteorite away for closer
examination.
