From the X Files Dept: China -"The UFO Capital of Planet Earth"

Yet another UFO sighting has been reported in Eastern China on August 31st in the southwestern Haiyan County of Zhejiang Province. The object sightedwas very bright, according to eyewitnesses. It was visible for at least three hours. It drew the attention of two reporters from Haiyan’s local television station. The reporters who followed the object by car were said to have taken relatively clear pictures of it. The reporters stated that the pictures they took show: “a round object that had shining blue lights, and several other flickering objects around it.”

The object’s appearance seemed to change at one point, according to eyewitnesses. The round object seemingly became rectangular before eventually flying higher and disappearing. Other witnesses said that the object constantly twinkled and was not flying at a high altitude. One of them noted: “It looked quite big and it seemed that it was moving.”

This is the latest in a string of UFO sightings in Eastern China. Two of those sightings made international news, reported by ABC News, Fox News, CNN and others. Earlier this year, on July 7th, a UFO sighting caused the Hangzou Xiaoshan Airport to be shut down, also in Zhejiang Province. Twenty flights were diverted to neighboring airports. A team of experts from Shanghai and Beijing joined in on the resulting investigation into the incident. The experts concluded that the object was likely an illegally flying private plane, but have not identified the plane or the pilot. A week later, a UFO was spotted in Chongqing in Sichuan Province. This object also remains unidentified.

Things are getting busy over there. I heard about the veteran astronomer and his claims being covered by some of China's most controlled media outlets. I guess they are ready to have a national conversation about it. We don't seem to far behind the curve though. I saw Michio Kaku endorsing Leslie Kean's new book on MSNBC just a week ago; That's gonna be hard to top but you never know what they'll come up with next!

Such sightings need full investigation. Our Universe is expected contain more than one planets like the earth attached to another star system where life like ours may exist, more or less intelligent than ours is also a matter of investigation.I for one believe in the reality of UFP's.

They were probably looking for cheap labor.

New-style U.S. spy planes?

I thought I read that the first UFO reported was merely the boost phase of a rocket launch.The human imagination is enormously inventive.

Spy planes don't hover for hours and usually try not to be seen. That's why they're called 'spy' planes :)
