UFO over China

1) The appearance of the UFO caused delays of commercial flights in Zhejiang

2) Authorities have learned the identity of the UFO after an investigation(I suppose it's not "unidentified" anymore)

3) A public explanation will not be given now, due to military connections, but it will be given on Friday(I suppose today?)

Smells like a missile system. Timing and location seems to be plausible.

:china::china: :coffee:

What kind of half-wit would order a missile to fly over Hangzhou?

One that wanted to make sure that it would be seen and reported worldwide, and thus presumably recognised for what it was by those in the know, but without the CCP having to make any official announcement.

I am open to good ideas, but the first thing that springs to mind are the viral rumours of a live DF21D test.

You mean somebody decided to pull this stunt for bragging rights?

You know, it's possible that it was a real UFO (as in unidentified), but the government is just claiming it to be known in order to prevent public panic and keep things covered up.

The first picture looks nothing more than a civilian airliner. Probably just public paranoia.

p.s. I may be eating my words when the E.T.s launch a massive offensive against us in 2012 lol ;D.

This is the picture that caught my attention. It was featured in the early versions of the story on China and Peoples Daily, but was withdrawn and replaced with the current second picture.



To me it is unmistakably a rocket. I know some people have pointed out the dark plane like shape, but to draw conclusions from a single long distance digital picture could be foolish. It could be an effect of shadow or paint job or any other kind of optical effect. You will notice that the exhaust plumes originate from a much larger area than the dark shape, which simply suggests that the background colour of the object is simply not visible in that kind of light. Its not an unusual phenomena.

Here's a supposed video and another picture(in the article) of the incident:

Experts, help us out a bit, what does it look like? A rocket? Space debris? Hoax? The incident is probably not hoax, but the video and article I just posted can still be.

EDIT: Seems like the vid is from a 6/30 missile? too many different reports out there right now!

Also, there is the possibility that it could be non-Chinese. The exercises make awfully tempting peeking material.
