EXPERTS from Beijing and Shanghai gathered in Hangzhou today to investigate the unidentified flying object that shut down Hangzhou's Xiaoshan airport last Wednesday.
They stepped in as all kinds of speculation swirled online and the official investigation team led by the airport company failed to yield any conclusion after a five-day probe, Xinmin Evening News reported today.
Xiaoshan airport officials found something strange on the airport's radar about 9pm on July 7. They thought it was a UFO and canceled all flights from take-off. People who saw it described it as a twinkling spotlight.
The six experts led by Beijing UFO Research Organization said they do not expect complex explanations.
"It must be something normal - most UFO cases turned out to be something normal," expert Zhang Yunhua said.
Zhang said he analyzed the pictures posted online by people who said they saw the Hangzhou UFO and most of them were just sunlight reflections on regular airplanes.
But he also said the pictures might not be related to the UFO that paralyzed Xiaoshan airport.
"The investigation would depend on how cooperative the airport authority is. For example, showing us the radar pictures could be a great help," he added.
This is the second recent UFO seen in China. Many residents in Urumqi City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, claimed on June 30 that they saw a flying disc moving east with a white tail in the sky.
Zhang said the most likely explanation of the Xinjiang case is that it was a carrier rocket launched by Russia on June 30. The position and launching time fits, he said.
