UFO hunter claims ‘aliens visited home of Count Dracula’
Mysterious flying discs spotted near castle built by Vlad the Impaler, the bloodthirsty tyrant who inspired fictional bloodsucker
AN academic has sunk his teeth into claims that ALIENS landed in Transylvania – the home of the legendary Count Dracula.
Dan D Farcas PhD has unearthed startling information which suggests UFOs and their otherworldly occupants visited Romania over hundreds of years.
He claimed a couple saw a gigantic disc rise from a nearby lake whilst visiting the ruins of Poenari – dubbed ‘Dracula’s Castle’ after it was rebuilt in 1459 by the bloodthirsty ruler Vlad the Impaler, who inspired Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula.
At first they thought it was heading in their direction but it moved north towards Transylvania and disappeared over the mountains.
Another case involved police sergeant Marian Mancu and Maricel Rusu, a voluntary guard, who were out on night patrol on July 8, 1996, in the village of Certesti.
At around 12.30am, when they were in front of the police office, Mancu told Rusu he was going back to the police accommodation to get something to eat. The moment he passed the side of the building, he heard a whistling sound and sensed a current of air.
He turned around and saw on the road something “splashing with blue and red lights and making a sound like voom voom”.
At first he thought it was a police car but as he got closer he realised it was hovering half a metre above the ground and a small and very strange person was moving around next to it.
He cried “Guard” and saw the horrified guard emerging from a ditch where he had been hiding.
He whispered: “Mister Marian, it is Satan.”
Rusu later claimed that the UFO landed just behind him and he saw three small human like creatures moving around outside of it.
He described them as having white faces, big heads with pointed ears and covered in grey scales. He said they moved “as if they were drunk”.
He stated: “When I saw what they looked like, their very ugly faces, I told myself they are not human. I became afraid and I was hiding myself in the ditch just in case something might happen because I have never seen any such beings in my life before.”
Since 2011 he has been President of the Association for the Study of Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena (ASFAN) in Romania and is a member of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Romania.
Dan, who holds an MSc in maths and physics and a PhD in maths and computers, said: “Are these painting depictions of medieval UFO sightings or do they have a much more mundane and simpler explanation?
“As an academic and a UFO researcher I must admit that the images in these paintings are certainly worth a second look and we should not rule out the possibility that they do depict something that today would be described as a UFO.”
Alien hunters claim finding out the truth about UFOs is of vital importance, but allege the search for answers poses a serious risk to the lives of investigators.
