An unidentified flying object (UFO) forced Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, China to cease operations on July 7. A flight crew preparing for descent first detected the object around 8:40 p.m. and notified the air traffic control department. Aviation authorities responded within minutes, grounding outbound flights and diverting inbound ones to airports in Ningbo and Wuxi.
Eighteen flights were affected. Though normal operations resumed an hour later, the incident captured the attention of the Chinese media and sparked a firestorm of speculation on the UFO’s identity.
“It is a hidden U.S. bomber flying toward China,” one Internet user wrote on Monday. Another wrote on Sunday night, “In my opinion, the UFO is neither a U.S. missile nor a Russian satellite. Suggestions that it is extraterrestrial are even more preposterous. Everyone, use your head. This is clearly a man-made phenomenon. Would the U.S. or Russia risk provoking China’s anger by firing a missile or satellite rocket in Chinese skies, without warning? I believe the Chinese military is responsible for the UFO. It is a new missile or aircraft being tested out.”
Fueling speculations further, Hangzhou residents released photos, taken in the afternoon before the delays, of a hovering object bathed in golden light and exhibiting a comet-like tail. Less than an hour before the Xiaoshan airport shut down, residents said they also saw a flying object emitting
Resident Ma Shijun was taking a nighttime stroll with his wife when he saw the object. “I felt a beam of light over my head. Looking up, I saw a streak of bright, white light flying across the sky, so I picked up the camera and took the photo. The time was 8:26 p.m. However, whether the object was a plane, or whether it was Xiaoshan Airport’s UFO, I don’t have a clear answer,” Ma told the Xinhua news agency. The photos taken by Hangzhou residents may be unrelated to the UFO that shut down Xiaoshan Airport. According to Hangzhou meteorological authorities, residents in the afternoon probably saw light reflecting off of an airplane. As for Ma’s nighttime photo, Beijing Planetarium curator Zhu Jing told Xinhua that the object looks just like a plane shining its strobe lamps. UFO over China shuts down the Airport. For now, the UFO’s identity remains shrouded in mystery. A spokesman from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) confirmed to ABC News that the matter is under investigation. He declined to disclose further details. A day after the sighting, however, an anonymous source told China Daily that authorities already discovered the identity of the UFO after an investigation but could not publically disclose the information because “there was a military connection.” An official explanation is expected to be released on Friday, the source said. Today, five researchers from the Beijing UFO Research Society and the Shanghai UFO Investigative Research Center traveled to Hangzhou to study the phenomenon.
“We have several places to visit on our agenda, including the Xiaoshan Airport and the CAAC East China Regional Administration,” the director of the Shanghai UFO Investigative Research Center, Lou Jinhong, told ABC News. “I cannot offer an opinion on this case, because we have not yet collected all the relevant documents and data. It’s not clear how long the investigation will take.”
The Hangzhou incident comes after a string of recent UFO sightings in China. On June 30, residents in Xinjiang province saw a flying object bathed in a fan of white light. Sightings have also been reported in Hunan, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces.

Is this UFo sighting really real pleasee tell me somehow i believe it but then i think that it can also be a missile for testing or a plane please tell me the correct answer PLEASE!!
Yes, this is real. They’ve been here for a long time. Look close to the pic., it has windows on it and a beam of light shining down- making their presence known. How can it be a missile? The closest thing to this in this world is a blimp. Many Countries have treaties with them to exchange their technology with us for their right to lurk among us freely, just as long as we use cover up statements whenever they are seen. (this info. comes from revealed government documents from people who have worked for “Project Blue-book” and the sort and have released it after their deaths- government can’t punish them for releasing- imagine these people dying to say something for many years, but couldn’t because of the threats implied against them if they said anything. I wonder what will the men in black tell China to say this was? There is a discussion right now with Alien negotiators (men in black) and with Chinese Military leaders. They have to come up with something new this time, the weather balloon ideas are done, the missile theory already been used earlier this year after another siting in the Netherlands blaming Russian missile tests when in fact their missiles were being launched and tested underwater, not Sky. Wouldn’t neighboring Countries complaint Russia of being a threat and violating Security Treaties? Like North Korea for example, every time they launch a missile over Japan or South Korea, you never heard Japan call it a UFO- can’t mistake a missile- I am telling ya, this is for REAL!!
See…, World powers do not want to piss these things off and let this go public because if we know, it might start a war with them (you thought Mexican/American boarders were controversial). Ha!! There are different types of Aliens that roam around our earth and live in underwater alien bases (Bermuda Triangle and the Pacific Triangle, the Dragons Triangle.
They have been up to things for many generations, and now, they are letting themselves known for sure- something is up- Climate changes, pollution, Floods, Earthquakes, and other Natural Disasters going on this planet is attracting them. Oh, and the wars we have, they are totally interested in what is happening to us and our planet. Possibly to witness our doom and then take over once were gone. They can wipe us out in an instance if they wanted to, but they have so many good use of our world as it is- we are guinea pigs to them as they have observed us evolve for centuries- we are their pets and hobby. They have been known to abduct people and make hybrids by stealing human sperm and female human eggs- and matching us up with their DNA… half (Hybrids: their species combined with ours).
We have the body they want and they have the brain power, combine the two, you get a perfect being. In other words, they are upgrading the human race and I suspect them of intending to repopulate the earth with hybrids and themselves once we die off during a Cataclysm some time after 12/21/2012 (According to the unfailing Mayan Calendar- (Mayans were aLso known to have processed their knowledge to mark this day when our planet lines up with the entire universe, causing the Sun to explode sun flares, destroying our ozone layer, flipping our planet, causing earthquakes, tidal waves, and simultaneous huge volcanic eruptions) The earth has already been shifting, hence the climate changes, earthquakes, recent volcanic eruptions, things are just warming up, baby.
Looks like real, because from all the story of resident no indication with noise or loud sound from the object, like men made normal basic run by cooking oil….
If not wrong I have two thinks, that could be something like tourist spaceship from somewhere other planet, or tourist spaceship made in china themselves.
But if we look in the picture the light beam so powerful and the shape of the object doesn’t look like man made.
I believe many other life somewhere else in other planet we never know and see.
Folks,
Something is definately happening! It is my beliefe that this type of thing will get more frequent in the time to come, however, if they are “Inter-Dimentional beings” Our physics just went out the window.
Everything that we claim to believe and know on this rock would ultimately come into question,and I really don’t know if that is a good thing or not. I will watch as will the rest of the planet, however I have to ask “Why China”, either these folks know something that the rest of the governments on earth don’t know about China or they are not afraid to show themselves anymore because what ever pupose they have been here for has been forfilled.
I do not believe that they are here to threaten us! If they were they certainly would have done so by now.
Hello, i think frank said a few things interesting. I think we should form an international independant organization open for everybody to join, with the goal of finding the truth about the aliens that the governments are hiding. Establish a contact with them and take all of their future technology for the good of the human race.
Hello again,
There is something that we all need to think about,Nasa has not found an inhabitable planet or one that even come close,they have found other planets,however these are 20+ light years away and will do humanity no good within the next2000years unles our technology all of a sudden gets dramatically mor saphisticated. We can’t even get to Mars within the next10 years. So, think about this,if these really are beings from another world, it has to be really far away,father than our current technology can see into the universe.
However,I have another idea, what if these beings put us here,after all we know there in nothing out there within our reach,so we are basically it for 20 or 30 light years. Why is it that we have been privelaged to live on the only perfect planet, and why are we all alone?
