Hi Everyone,

The Greek e-newspaper 'Expresso' is not among the more respected
and credible daily Greek newspapers that occasionally also do
report on UFOs. The U.K. 'Sun' and the U.S. 'Globe' newspapers
are rough equivalents to Greece's 'Expresso' but they are more
responsible in their news reporting.

The fact that Australia's 'All News Web' was the only other news
source to cover this month old UFO story and lacks details to
allow one to investigate further, is further reason not to take
this UFO sighting seriously.

Corinth is a short commute west of Athens, the largest city of
Greece, and not far from the 2 kilometer plus long Rion-Antirion
Bridge that links nothern Greece (and the rest of Europe) to the
Peloponnese (southern Greece), technically the largest Greek
island after the Corinth canal was completed. If Mr. Palaiologou
is accurate in his estimate of the size of this Saturn shaped UFO
(1000 foot in diameter!), there would have been many more
witnesses than just him and his daughter and independently by his
aunt and possibly other neighbours.

If the highway from Athens to Corinth or the Rion-Bridge have
live traffic cameras as the hundreds we have from Toronto all the
way to the U.S. border at Niagara Falls, then this massive UFO
would certainly have been shown on 'Expresso tv' along with other
shows about scandals, fashion and personalities.

If you want a know about a very important Greek UFO incident that
happened very near this same area but had many more witnesses and
was independently verified, check out the UFO crash and recovery
operation that involved the Hellenic Air Force that was first
mentioned in the article below.
