Residents of a remote Indonesia village recently discovered what they believed to be an "angel" on a beach.

The human-like figure, described by local news organisation Pojok Satu as an "angel child," was found by a fisherman on 19 April, who reportedly claimed to have heard it falling from the sky.

Pojok Satu described the "angel" as being "shining white, (with) round eyes with red eyebrows."

"This angel child also was found face down, crying and naked covered only a white cloth."
