[quote]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.
At around 11 pm on Wednesday, a netizen wrote three entries announcing the airport's closure in his microblog at Sina.com, but they were all soon deleted.
He posted an apology at midnight, saying the news had not been confirmed and asking those who had republished his earlier entries to delete them.[/quote]

This. Is. Awesome.
Looks like a genuine pic for once.
Looks like a comet
Looks like a aeroplane or helicopter.
looks like a street lamp
Take me with you!
It's Superman!!!!!
Beather walloon.
Awesome!
Anyone who doubts the existence of life outside Earth needs to get their head checked, imo.
looks like I will believe this shit.
For once, it's not an obscure, black and white, grainy, and blurry picture. I like it.
Awesome, something that looks legit!
Source please!
Neat, looks like a truly legitimate shot. Probably not aliens though, cool nonetheless.
They should've blown it up.
What's the source? I want to read into this more. Looks promising.

The guy was threatned and he had to baleet fucking everything. But it's too late already.
They don't want mass panic, so they will say its a military test-run or something...
look at all that swamp gas
Didn't the Americans just deploy their submarines in that area?
It's a huge iphone on fire.

I'd heard nothing of it. Dunno how the news would get their hands on that kind of information. The pic though is probably one of the best I've ever seen before on the internet about UFOs, though.

in the airspace over an airport? :v:
Beam me up, scotty!
Do any airliners have that kinda red streak along the body of the plane? 'cause it kinda looks like a burning Boeing 747, though I can't really tell since there's fire in the way of where wings might be. The positioning of the lights are kinda remeniscient of an airliner, too.
I ain't saying for sure it's a burning 747, nor am I saying it's an alien craft. I'm just saying it looks similar to an airliner. Although who knows, perhaps some species have ships that look similar to our planes. It's a big universe, things are bound to start looking the same if you observe enough parts of it...
Nice.
Is it just me or are the pic and link broke?
Looking closer at the picture, the UFO is smeared horizontally across the picture due
to the shutter speed of the camera. It is not what it seems to be.
what
Looks like a giraffe
Shoot it down and check it out. Then watch Earth get raped by aliens.
