Friday, November 9, 2001
A driver who claimed UFOs caused him to crash later admitted he was distracted by beer mats being thrown by children.

German police were convinced the 19-year-old had been drinking when he claimed to have seen UFOs prior to crashing.

But after he gave a negative breath test they discovered beer mats on the road.

The teenage driver from Warstein, Germany caused nearly £3,000 worth of damage to his car and another vehicle.

He admitted the beer mats could have been the 'flying saucers' which distracted him and he was allowed to go home.
