2 UFO sightings have China, blogs abuzz

July 17, 2010 – (CNN) — Talk about eerie.

One of two recent UFO sightings in China occurred almost on the 63rd anniversary of news that a “flying disc” had been found in Roswell, New Mexico.

And like in 1947, people either choose to believe or be skeptical that visitors have stopped by from outer space.

Nothing has officially been ruled in or out by Chinese officials, who are looking into whether the objects were private or military aircraft, rocket flares, reflection in the sky or something else.

The first sighting occurred at Hangzhou’s Xiaoshan Airport, in the eastern part of the country, according to the state-controlled Xinhua news agency.

Eighteen flights were delayed or rerouted and operations shut down after twinkling lights were spotted above the terminal around 9 p.m. July 7, the agency said. According to Xinhua, speculation has centered on a private aircraft. The state-run China Daily quoted a source saying the object had a military connection.

On July 14, 2010 many people reported witnessing UFO activity over the Shapingba district of Chongqing, China. The sightings started near 8:00 in the evening and lasted for approximately one hour and 40 minutes . One photo of the incident shows three lights in a triangular form and another arrangement of lights nearby with a less discernible shape. A UFO incident was also reported in Chongqing in early 2009.

The western media is reporting a UFO sighting that occurred in Chongqing not long after the now well-known event that took place at Hangzhou’s Airport.

A number of people saw the UFO and photos have been uploaded onto the net (see above). Sightings occur almost on a daily basis in China however many experts are convinced that this sighting involves nothing more than a kite fixed with LED lighting.

China is believed by many to be on the threshold of admitting UFO reality. UFO activist Stephen Bassett believes that if China makes this move it might well confirm its position as a world superpower over and above the USA.
