Eleven men dressed in identical black robes were present in the stands to the surprise of bewildered fans at the Allianz Arena
EXTRA TIMEA group of
mysterious figures caused a stir in the crowd at Bayern Munich's clash
with Hertha Berlin at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
The 11
unknown men, each dressed in black robes and sat in a line, were spotted
making strange synchronised gestures during the league match, which
Bayern won 3-2.
Men In Black | The robed figures startled supporters
Situated
six rows from the pitch just beside the halfway line in the stand
opposite the broadcasting gantry, the group was also seen by TV viewers
all across the world.
One fan, Torsten Schmidt, said: "It was
very weird. They sat very still for a long time but then would hold
their hands up together, or stand up in unison and then sit down again.
Everyone near me was very confused. Some people laughed, some looked
astonished. It was just very weird."
A key feature of their
clothing was a circular symbol on the chest of their robes. It clearly
resembled the logo spotted at a series of linked unexplained event over
the past week.
Out of this world | Fans were puzzled by the circular symbol
The
same symbol has been seen at locations across the globe, starting with
the appearance of a hologram on Rio de Janeiro's Sugarloaf mountain on
Sunday, 20 October.
A three-metre football displaying the sign
then gouged a huge hole in the turf at London's amateur football hub
Hackney Marshes 24 hours later, while New York City's Times Square was
struck by similar images on the tourist spot's world famous digital
billboards.
Further sightings of the symbol have been witnessed
in the Copacabana neighbourhood of Rio and on the Brazilian city's Santa
Maria hill, but this is the first time that the mystery has spread to a
professional football arena. Also repeatedly spotted at the locations
has been the message: #WINNERTAKESEARTH
