Scientists are baffled as panicked Chinese upload photos of phenomenon. This reminds me of the Mysterious bubble-like light burst seen over Hawaii.

Dozens of people spotted an unidentified, glowing object above Shanghai and Beijing at the same time.

The giant ball of light appeared Saturday night.

A pilot flying from Shanghai to Changchun was the first to post information about the colossal light online.

The pilot says the so-called “UFO” grew in size and ended up being about 100 times larger than the moon.

He said the sphere slowly faded as it hovered above Shanghai for nearly 20 minutes.

An expert from Shanghai UFO Research Center suspects the UFO could be the fragment of a satellite launched by Russia two days earlier.

Report by ITN:

Once again, an Unidentified Flying Object, i.e., a UFO is responsible for air traffic being diverted and or delayed at an International Airport in China.

UFO was spotted over the runway at Chongqing Municipality’s Jiangbei International Airport led to flights being disrupted yesterday.

Airport traffic was restricted for around an hour from about 12:30pm before the object left the area and the alert was lifted, according to Chongqing media reports.

Passengers on several flights were delayed when their aircraft were diverted to other airports after the mysterious object was spotted.

The Chongqing government has not officially offered an explanation of what the object was.

The news that a UFO was sighted at the Jiangbei airport spread quickly across Chinese social networking websites yesterday, creating much excitement online.

The airport said two flights from Beijing that were about to land had to divert to two other airports in the region following the restricted traffic alert.Two other flights en route to the airport were also forced to land elsewhere, said officials.

By 1:20pm, the alert was lifted and normal traffic resumed, the airport said. The affected aircraft started returning to Chongqing later yesterday.

This is not the first time a UFO has been seen at Chongqing.

Last year as most readers will recall, a similar UFO sighting took place at Xiaoshan Airport in Zhejiang’s provincial capital of Hangzhou; that event caused quite a stir both in UFO circles, as well as being picked by the mainstream media.

An amazing UFO was caught by a group of observers in China in the eve of Aug 07, 2011.

As you can hear in the background, observers were screaming at the object, asking each other whether it was a plane caught on fire, a rocket, or something else. However everyone agrees it’s UFO. The object was moving very slow according to the observer.

Real, fake or explainable?

What the hell is this? Optical illusion, Project Bluebeam, Fata Morgana, mirage, fake?

An amazing video news report from China of an ‘optical illusion’ that appeared at approximately 5 PM, local time on Thursday in eastern China at the Tunxi section of the Xin’an River in Huangshan City, the mirage, a spectacular skyline of a city and mountains.

According to the news report in the video, the latest ‘optical illusion’, one of several that have been recently seen in the area. We wondered, does anyone know the identity of the ‘mystery’ city? Was the optical illusion a ‘real city’?

Video of ‘city skyline’ optical illusion filmed in Huangshan, China, on Thursday, June 16, 2011:

In 2005, an earlier ‘optical illusion’ was seen by thousands of residents of Penglai City for ‘four hours’. The illusion or mirage, clear enough to see ”bustling cars as well as crowds of people all clearly visible’.

It must be noted that some people have raised concerns about this story and video. All reports of this story cite the link below. We cannot find any verifiable Chinese source for this story either…
