UFO Sightings in China Cause Internet Frenzy

Amanda Abella
An unidentified flying object (UFO) that was seen flying over a Chinese airport is causing quite the internet frenzy. The news has captured many people's attention as it is one of the top searches on Google and holds the #2 spot on Yahoo Buzz. The videos also spread like wildfire and have gone viral.

According to a local news report a UFO spotting halted air traffic in Hangzhou, China for a few minutes. Eighteen flights were affected but normal airport activities resumed an hour later.

Locals at the time reported seeing an oddly shaped bright light in the air. Now reports are saying that the UFO looked like a space shuttle. In addition there is plenty of speculation as to whether the UFO was a military aircraft or missile.

Authorities are continuing to look into the incident but no conclusions have been made.

First Chupacabras in Texas and now UFOs in China. This has definitely been a week of weird for the media.

    I love how the rubber stamp of insanity has been applied to this incident. Everyone has been quick to say its a "hoax" or military operation but I challenge anyone to come up with any project in any armed forces community that can drop out of low earth orbit, and accelerate back into it. missile debris doesnt do that, and if it were a Chinese test do you really think they would test it over a populated Chinese community? the fact airports were shut down validates no one had any idea what it was, and the fact it wasnt immediately intercepted by J-7s shows that there was very little warning. Im not crying Alien, but ive studied International military operations for years and something tells me the Chinese are Sh*ting bricks right about now. It sure as hell isnt a MIRV or a DF-21 2nd stage re enterting Earths Atmosphere.
