HANGZHOU, CHINA (LALATE) – Another UFO over a China Airport (photos below) has been spotted; a UFO was spotted over a China Airport again this September 2010, again unexplained, and again prompting the airport to redirect flights and shut down China air travel briefly.

What is going on with UFOs over China airports this year? With each news report coming out of China, there are handful of repeating facts. One thing is clear; each event, whatever it was, has shut down airports, redirect air travel, and gone unexplained.

However, the unanswered question is what is this aircraft. Since June 2010, LALATE has been reporting each incident. And if you look at the fact pattern, and the characteristics, certain items are repeating.

First, in each UFO sighting the aircraft is unknown to the Civil Aviation Administration of China. Each time the CAAC says they don’t know what the aircraft was, were not alerted by the military that it was one of there, and were left to speculate about the aircraft.

Second, in each UFO sighting the CAAC had to shut down air travel briefly and redirect traffic. Eighteen flights were delayed or rerouted at the airport when the event unfolded on July 7, 2010 at roughly 9 pm local time, reports CNN. On September 11, three flights were redirected.

Third, in each UFO sighting, officials feared a close encounter, an approach too close to commercial airlines. The aircraft was not reported to have air clearance.  “To guarantee security, aircraft had to land at secondary airports. Otherwise, it may have led to collision” said one official regarding the September encounter. This reoccurring pattern leaves question as to why a military aircraft would approach so close to commercial travelers.

Fourth, in each UFO sighting there are pictures and descriptions of the same type of aircraft. If you line up photos from June until September, the aircraft looks the same. It also appears as a “flat and tubular” looking aircraft that projects a strong beam of light downward.

And finally, in each UFO sighting  the China military and CAAC have either no comment or no definitive explanation where the aircraft came from.
