New China UFO Sighting Closes Airport (VIDEO)

Flights were re-routed or forced to circle an airport for over an hour after Chinese air traffic controllers saw what they believed to be a UFO hovering over the runway.

The incident, which took place at about 8 p.m. on Sept. 11 at an airport in Baotou, is the eighth reported UFO sighting in China since June, according to AOL News. Back-to-back sightings in June alarmed Chinese residents.

As ABC reports:

The alert was triggered by bright lights in the sky that moved erratically, but reports claim that air traffic controllers at the Hohhot Air Traffic Management Bureau spotted the object on their radar. After about an hour, the object and the lights suddenly vanished and passenger jets were allowed to land.

While the others were dismissed as part of routine military exercises, the Chinese government has refused to comment on this sighting, according to The Sun.

I wonder if this was the topic of discussion at Gates' meeting with China's top defense official last week?

The reason there seem to be so many UFO incidents in China maybe because aliens believe that the Chinese will not bow down to the US government and cover up facts about UFOs. The US military/intelligence community has been keeping the truth about aliens/UFOs a secret for many years now. The aliens are probably hoping that the Chinese will break this world-wide secrecy pact (see www.ufocoverup.org for more info)

LMAO you have a great talent for satire dave108. We both know a light beam from the ground reflecting off of low hanging overcast is not a flying saucer.

The aliens want to outsource there. They heard about the available slave labor from a bagger who got so far out he landed in their solar system.

"military test" ...of course it was. military tests of cutting edge/ weird flying crafts are always carried out over cities and effect air traffic...?
