UFO Over China

One of the more interesting UFO sightings in China. This photo was taken in Hangzhou, near Shanghai, according to the China Daily. Officials said the event has a military connection., and will make an announcement later. Rumour has it that officials pumped several tonnes of swamp gas into the sky to reassure disturbed onlookers.

Certainly it looks to be a very physical object. I have to say though, that the object looks rather terrestrial compared to what I saw in my own UFO sightings several years ago.

SHANGHAI - An unidentified flying object (UFO) disrupted air traffic over Zhejiang's provincial capital Hangzhou late on Wednesday, the municipal government said on Thursday.

Xiaoshan Airport was closed after the UFO was detected at around 9 pm, and some flights were rerouted to airports in the cities of Ningbo and Wuxi , said an airport spokesman, who declined to be named. The airport had resumed operations, and more details will be released after an investigation, he said. A source with knowledge of the matter, however, told China Daily on Thursday that authorities had learned what the UFO was after an investigation. But it was not the proper time to publicly disclose the information because there was a military connection, he said, adding that an official explanation is expected to be given on Friday.
