A joint team of UFO investigators from Beijing and Shanghai traveled to the city of Hangzhou to investigate the closing of the nearby Xiaoshan International Airport on July 7, 2010. They interviewed civilians that took photos of what appeared to be a UFO in the vicinity prior to the airport’s closing for about an hour from 9 pm. Two photos were included in the initial news story by China Daily on July 9 about the airport incident that said that the UFO had been detected by aviation officials that subsequently closed the airport. Strangely, the July 7 photos were included with other non-related photos/film of misidentified UFOs in the Western media in what appeared to be an effort to obfuscate what had happened at Hangzhou’s airport. The joint China UFO investigatory civilian team has just announced that the photos taken on July 7 were of a misidentified airplane in the vicinity of the airport. Efforts by the same UFO investigators to get more information from Chinese aviation authorities of radar evidence and/or anomalies related to the airport closing were unsuccessful. In addition to what appeared to be a U.S. media effort to obfuscate the China UFO event, official Chinese authorities simultaneously went into shutdown mode after the initial news reports circulated widely in the Chinese media. What was the UFO that led to the airport closing – a misidentified plane, a classified national security project, or a genuine extraterrestrial vehicle?
Initial China news reports cited a number of aviation sources that a UFO had been “detected” and led to the airport closing. China Daily reported: “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.” No mention was made of the form of detection in the China news reports or from aviation authorities. Neil Gould from Exopolitics Hong Kong, cited another confidential source revealing more precisely what happened:
A reliable Source which must remain anonymous has said that the UFO was first noticed by an airline but prior to being reported, the radar in the control tower suffered temporary failure. This is typical of a CE2 as classified by Dr Allen Hynek; when a UFO leaves a trace; in this case on radar.
If Gould’s source is accurate, the UFO had caused some kind of radar failure that led to the airport closing. Did an UFO interfere with radar equipment at Xiaoshan Airport in what clearly would amount to a major national security issue? National security was quickly cited by an unnamed source quoted in the Chinese media who 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.
No official explanation was given on Friday July 9, and Chinese aviation authorities have been in shutdown mode over an issue that has national security implications.
Neil Gould was able to report more on the efforts of the Beijing and Shanghai UFO investigatory team:
The Chinese UFO groups from Beijing and Shanghai investigated this case and went home with nothing...no info. This is because there has been a total information shutdown on the issue. This occurs when the National Security protocols are breached and events are then removed from the jurisdiction of the Airport control mechanisms.
Unable to pierce the official veil of secrecy of what happened at the airport, the joint Beijing Shanghai team concentrated on the July 7 photos taken nearby and interviewed civilians that took them. They eventually concluded: “There was no evidence so far to show that the photos taken by Hangzhou residents were related to the UFO that caused nearly 20 flights to be delayed on July 7 at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.” The photos released on July 7 around the time of the airport closing are apparently misidentified airplanes. If so, then it appears that someone had arranged for the initial China Daily news report to be seeded with a misidentified airplane in association with a genuine UFO incident that had national security implications. Were Chinese authorities testing the waters of international reaction to Chinese media coverage of an UFO incident. If so, the results were dismaying.

Major U.S. media sources conflated a genuine July 7 UFO photo, a misidentified plane according to the Chinese researchers, with misidentified UFO photos and videos from earlier. ABC News was one of the first to conflate the genuine photo with non-related misidentified UFOs dating from 2007 to 2009. Other major media followed suit including the prestigious Los Angeles Times that on July 22 highlighted a video of an unrelated rocket launch from earlier as connected to the China UFO sighting. Predictably, once in depth analysis was conducted on the collage of dated misidentified photos and videos attributed to the July 7 airport closing, the findings would be that the photos and videos were fakes and/or unrelated misidentified objects. Indeed, this is exactly what happened. On July 20, Geoffrey Forden, an MIT weapons analyst concluded that the “images of the UFOs have caused quite a stir in China and on blogs around the world are fake.”
In sum, all the photos published in the Chinese media and reproduced on the U.S. and international media are either a misidentified airplane from July 7 according to the joint Beijing/Shanghai UFO research team, or photos of unrelated misidentified airplanes/helicopter or other objects from 2009 or earlier. Alleged videos of the July 7 UFO incident are unrelated and/or fabrications. The series of fakes conflated with the China images suggest a U.S. led international media effort to steer public attention away from the UFO incident. Simultaneously, Chinese authorities went into shutdown mode after first allowing the story to be reported through its official media organs. So what really happened to close a major regional Chinese airport?
Importantly, the Beijing/Shanghai UFO investigatory team did not rule out that the UFO "spotted in Hangzhou skies, was extraterrestrial." According to Hong Kong’s Neil Gould, it’s extremely unlikely that a busy regional airport such as Hangzhou’s would close down due to a misidentified airplane. Nor would military authorities test rockets or other classified systems near the airport. If Gould’s confidential source is correct, then a UFO somehow interfered with the airport’s radar system, and was visually detected by airline pilots and other witnesses. It appears that China did experience a genuine UFO of likely extraterrestrial origin that led to aviation authorities shutting down the airport. More senior authorities then stopped all further information for national security reasons. Allowing the initial news reports to get out through official media organs may have been an effort of Chinese authorities to gauge the international response in terms of how accurately UFO incidents would be reported in the U.S. and other world media. If so, then Chinese authorities know the answer. Genuine UFO reports from China are not likely to be reported accurately at all by the U.S. media. This would make it very difficult for Chinese authorities to play any proactive role in ending the truth embargo about the true origins of UFOs orchestrated by the U.S. and international media for over sixty years.

Sounds like the US is trying to cover up incidents globally.
At least China let the initial story out. Maybe their latter posture is simply a market-oriented thing, an after-the-fact gesture for the Western financial mafioso. In China you must be a qualified scientist to join ufo research societies, and 450,000 read their equivalent of UFO magazine. So they take such issues seriously. The key question may be: WHICH alien group buzzed their airport? In other words, who was it and what is their agenda? If it isn't one that China agrees with, the Chinese government's position is a basic security matter, possibly a way of saying that China isn't completely open skies for whoever wants to fly over or abduct, etc.
Still no one had been cited for the original posting of the rocket launch or the helicopter with searchlight. Of course the western media is to blame? Not sure if that holds water. Without photos or official Chinese government sanctioned acknowledgment it will remain propaganda from over the bamboo curtain.
Sightings of genuine unknowns happen everywhere. Including China. But usually in such a government regulated media military and security concerns are not made public, or certainly not world media unless there is some agenda. Mapping global response and gullibility is important when designing propaganda. For such a power known for such it is an important factoring.
It is important to note that there where two UFO incedents in China. There was the airport incident on 7 July and a more spectacular case on 9 July. Personally I think that the last incident wasn't a flying disc, and definitely not a rocket as some debunk information suggests. But the one at the airport was more like a machine kind of UFO. I am surpriced that the Ufologists never makes the link with the probability that these are man made back engineered craft. This possibility is alreaddy discussed by Col. Corso on 1997. So if the USA has these crafts, they are perfect for spying. There are so much UFO sightings in China, but also Iran, Tibet, Turkey and Russia etc. But not that much UFO sightings in Europe. Why is that??? I would appreciate if Salla would elaborate on that topic in one of his coming articles. Because this possibility has a clear military and political connection.
The media always manages to create a misterious hocus-pocus from every single banality. Shoehorning (the connection of unrelated, random incidents at will) is a well proven mean to perform this job. They do it, because they live on creating latest sensations from nothing - particularly during holiday seasons. Since exo-ufoistic publishers run the very same business - but not limited to holiday times, they recycle these waste-news just once more for their audience. This works perfectly, since exo-ufoistic enthusiasts are normally on the bottom end of the educational food-chain. So every pseudo-mistery fuels their vivid fantasies. The good news are, they do never ask for a tangible proof or verifyable details, since they are already conditioned to buy into every claim. So the exo-ufoistic dog and pony show can go on. At least for the next centuries. In this case, we have a Progress cargo missile and a militery jet, photographed with a long shutter-time, two dates; spiced with confusion.
If this is a progress cargo missile, then I am a rabbit. If it would be so easy to make a footage of a cargo missile in heigh altitude with a simple camera, then we would have on daily basis spectacular footages of rockets and spacestations and what have you , flying in space on any news channel. It is time to debunk debunkers, who think they deal with stupid idiots and try to sell some nonsence. If anybody is able to make an exact footage of the next cargo missile, puts it on the web, and hereby proves it's just a rocket, he will be a real debunker. The dates of these cargo flights are public. Good luck.
Those who want to debunk the footage of the unidentified phenomena, the next progress cargo missile is scadualed for 8 septembre. The last missile was lunched at 30 June as you can find on the wikipedia list if you surf to Progress spaceflight. Making it impossible to appear above a Chinese airport on 7 July. The same for the other phenomena, pictured at 9 juli in China. If it would be a jetfighter, it would not be an unidentified object, and the pilot would have a big problem at his return to his basis. If it would be a jetfighter of a unknown country, there would be a serious diplomatic problem for that country. We would have heard about that for sure. But the UFO at the airport could be a back engeneered secret craft, from the USA our Russia. That the chinese where not able to shoot this craft down, makes you think what the reason could be for appearing above that airport. Is there a catch me if you can game at play here. Or was it a warning of a kind???? What do you think Salla?
