UFO in China's Skies Prompts Investigation

Posted July 16, 2010 1:58 PM

From ABC News International:

An unidentified flying object (UFO) forced Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, China to cease operations on July 7. A flight crew preparing for descent first detected the object around 8:40 p.m. and notified the air traffic control department. Aviation authorities responded within minutes, grounding outbound flights and diverting inbound ones to airports in Ningbo and Wuxi.

Eighteen flights were affected. Though normal operations resumed an hour later, the incident captured the attention of the Chinese media and sparked a firestorm of speculation on the UFO's identity.

This was not a UFO. It was the ghost of all the unimployed American manufacturing workers.

I refuse to watch a 15 second commercial every time I want to watch a newsworthy item. I sat through it earlier, but wanted to watch it again.

This sucks!

I am surprised, based on the propaganda publications my employer (A large corporation) hands out, showing extremely shiny, happy, hardworking, Chinese people, that they, the happy workers, would have time to look up!

It must be American spy planes, trying to discover the secret of happy workers!
