Initial data
Arabic-language forums are overflowing with Saudi citizens claiming that they have witnessed that even some usually conservative Saudi The media describe it as a possible UFO falling to the ground or simply performing maneuvers designed to scare people.
Others claim that it was an asteroid or a satellite. It is reported that the witnesses are waiting for an explanation from the local meteorological bureau, but have not yet received answers.
On Wednesday, January 7, after evening prayers, a strong noise was heard in the sky, followed by an intense big light rushing from the west over the region to the east of the capital Riyadh.
Many locals had seen meteors before, but claimed that this one did not fit the description at all: it was blue-green in color and emitted green lasers (flashes?).
One witness, Khalid, commented:
"No one has ever seen anything like this."
Surprisingly, for an incident that did not even make the news in the West, it was noticed even in Kuwait. Local residents in the region where the object was apparently heading claim that they heard an explosion and felt a strong tremor, indicating that the object had crashed.
The Saudi government has not released information about the crash site, but has reportedly closed the area.

Summary: Arabic language forums are abuzz with Saudi citizens claiming to have witnessed what is even being described by some in the normally conservative Saudi Arabian press as a possible UFO either crashing to earth or simply executing maneuvers designed to scare humans. Others are claiming the object was an asteroid or a satellite. Witnesses are reported to be waiting for an explanation from local meteorological bureau’s but have received no answers yet.
On Wednesday 7th of January after evening prayers a large noise was heard in the sky followed by the sighting of an intense large light heading from the west above a region east of the capital of Riyadh. Many locals had seen meteors prior to this but claimed this one did not fit the description at all: it was a blue green color and was shooting out green lasers (flashes?). One witness, Khalid, commented, ‘No one has ever seen anything like it’. Amazingly for an incident that hasn’t even made the news in the West it was seen as far away as Kuwait.
