Another stadium was visited by strange guests over
the weekend, with 11 hooded onlookers causing a stir at Stamford Bridge
on Sunday
Chelsea's Stamford Bridge became the latest football venue to play host to a gang of mysterious visitors on Sunday when 11 men in robes were spotted at the Premier League clash with Manchester City.
The figures closely resembled those seen at Saturday's Bundesliga fixture between Bayern Munich and Hertha Berlin at the Allianz Arena.
As in the previous sighting, they wore black robes with mysterious circles on their chest and were seen making curious synchronised movements at irregular intervals during Chelsea's 2-1 win, while they also stood in unison at random moments.
Situated three rows back from the corner flag at the Shed End, the gang could be clearly seen on TV cameras beaming pictures of the crunch fixture all across the world.
One Chelsea fan sat close to the mysterious guests was Robin Taylor, who said afterwards that he was slightly perturbed by their presence.
"We're used to a few different characters down at Chelsea, there was once even a guy brushing his teeth behind the bench at a game, but we've had nothing quite like this before," he said.
"It was a bit off-putting to be honest. It was a great match, but your eye-line just kept being drawn to these people. I didn't know what to do with myself."
The sightings follow a collection of bizarre incidents involving the same mysterious circles all across the world. On Sunday, October 20 a hologram of the insignia was beamed onto Rio de Janeiro's Sugarloaf mountain, while London's Hackney Marshes were disturbed by a three-metre football carrying the motif 24 hours later.
Further images have been spotted on the digital billboards of New York's famous Times Square, at Rio's neighbourhood of Copacabana and on the famous Santa Marta hill in Brazil. Discussion regarding the bizarre events has hit social media, using a hashtag witnessed at some of sightings: #WINNERTAKESEARTH
