The UFO Phenomenon

UFO sparks airport chaos in China

By T.K. Randall

A Chinese airport had to be closed last month to avoid collisions with an alleged UFO.
A mysterious bright light was sighted in close proximity to the airport and was of sufficient concern to warrant a temporary closure, after circling the airport a short time later however the object simply disappeared.
Three flights to Baotou from Shanghai and Beijing were forced to circle the airport until the object disappeared. Two other flights were diverted from Baotou. It’s the eighth reported UFO sighting in China in the past four months.

UFOs over China - An Overview Officially the Chinese government holds that there is no such thing as UFOs from another planet. Their stance is that the reports of such unearthly craft are the products of the fevered insane minds of Americans and other occidental sensationalism. That stance has yet to keep unidentified flying objects from showing up there, it merely means that there are fewer reports that are allowed to be made. Sometimes their problem makes itself so apparent there is little way to completely hide the issue. On July 7, 2010, at approximately 9:00 p.m. local time, something unk... [More]

Honestly everyone speculating on this, if you search back through this forum around July 10th you will find a thread concerning the chinese airport UFO closure that shows the same photo's being presented here. The pictures turned out to be various nighttime (i.e. long exposure) photos of helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. What had happened was a gentleman in the same city as the airport which was shut down due to a pilots sighting of an UFO had taken a photo of an aircraft which was a blurry streak. The gentleman who took the photo showed his friend who said jokingly " that is a picture of t... [More]

i guess Surely the Chinese aren't a bunch of idiots. I think the whole thing is fishy. UFOs or not, what could possibly cause an airport to shut down? (aside from weather) That just causes problems in so many areas and it just isn't done except for extreme conditions.

(aside from weather) That just causes problems in so many areas and it just isn't done except for extreme conditions. The July UFO was never visible from the airport. It was spotted by an inbound flight and when nobody could figure out what it was the airport suspended flights for 30 minutes as a precaution. This came from the Chinese news and not a UFO blog. As I mentioned above, this is all sourced and verified in a previous thread at the time... [More]

All of the China sightings are really late in their reporting, the Mongolia incident was actually in September, reported 3 weeks later for some reason. I came across a blog, that gives some ideas about all this, at the bottom tho is a bunch of interesting article links centered around all of the different China sightings. Their real dates of the sightings are much different then some of the places I read them at originally Each one of these below are actually a link that is on this page My link Anyone who is confused about the time line or reported information about the China UFO incidents are...

Good stuff DancingTiger. The blog you posted does a very good job at illustrating the media's confused and misrepresented coverage of this particular incident. I believe this to be an authentic video of the July Xiaoshan Airport UFO...

That one always looked to me like a double acceleration intended to get out of the atmosphere or close to it,I thought a missile test some sort. The way it shoots up like that makes me think of scary new intercontinental capable missiles :S It would be nice tho if it was a experimental new engine intended for space travel, that has the ditched fuel combustion and wasted tanks that our rockets currently use. I would so much prefer that to a powerful missile. Most typical UFOs have no visible exhaust, they just seem to hover or shoot around with no tails of anything. Kind of scary how with the m... [More]

Yeah, it's a rocket or missile of some kind, you can see a stage separate. But I think the guy in the comments who said it was a Minotaur rocket launch from 2005 was wrong, there are lots of pics of that launch and I've never seen this among them
