An unidentified flying object (UFO) disrupted air traffic over Zhejiang’s provincial capital Hangzhou late on Wednesday, the municipal government said on Thursday. Xiaoshan Airport was closed after the UFO was detected at around 9 pm, and some flights were rerouted to airports in the cities of Ningbo and Wuxi , said an airport spokesman, who declined to be named. The airport had resumed operations, and more details will be released after an investigation, he said. A source with knowledge of the matter, however, told China Daily on Thursday that authorities had learned what the UFO was after an investigation. But it was not the proper time to publicly disclose the information because there was a military connection, he said, adding that an official explanation is expected to be given on Friday. Inbound flights were diverted to the nearby airports in Zhejiang province’s Ningbo and Jiangsu province’s Wuxi. Outbound flights were delayed for three to four hours. A staff member at the airport’s information desk said the airport had “no idea” how many flights were affected by the closure. music by me — peace!
BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhaunet) — The unidentified flying object that disrupted air traffic in Hangzhou for an hour on Wednesday remains, well, unidentified. “No conclusion has yet been drawn,” Wang Jian, head of air traffic control with the Zhejiang branch of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), was quoted by Xinhua News Agency as saying. Some media have speculated the UFO might be a private aircraft, based on the increasing number of privately-owned aircraft in Zhejiang province. But Wang said the possibility it was a private plane was “just a guess.” A source with knowledge of the matter, however, told China Daily earlier that the object had a military connection. A staff member at Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou said a twinkling object was first spotted over the city’s sky around 8:30 pm on Wednesday. However, the object did not show up on the airport’s radar. Xiaoshan Airport was then closed at 8:45 pm over security concerns, and only resumed operation at 9:41 pm. A dozen inbound flights were diverted to nearby airports and six outbound flights were delayed for three to four hours. According to an estimate by Shanghai-based Evening News, more than 2000 passengers were affected. It was the first time an airport in China has been shut down on such short notice due to a UFO, said a staff member with the CAAC of East China, who declined to be named. “We should first find out how the owner got the approval to fly the object,” said the staff member, adding “even a …

Whatever it was, it was recorded on airport radar at about 9 pm According to the Xinhua news agency, after the unidentified flying object was spotted, airport authorities stopped passengers from boarding planes, and outgoing flights were grounded for an hour in Hangzhou, the capital city of China’s Zhejiang province. When officials closed the airport, incoming flights were rerouted to other airports. So far, no explanation has been offered to explain the UFO. However, several hours before the airport incident, many Hangzhou residents described seeing a large, brightly lit, elongated object in the sky. China Daily reported that authorities may know more about the mystery UFO than they’re letting on, hinting that there might be a military connection and that a final explanation may be forthcoming today. This is certainly not the first time an unexplained object has been observed in China. In July 2009, during the viewing of a solar eclipse in China, scientists at the Purple Mountain Astronomical Observatory in Nanjing filmed 40 …
