Chinese airport shut down to avert collision with a hovering 'flat and tubular' UFO | An airport in China was forced to shut down to prevent packed passenger jets crashing into a UFO. The 'flat and tubular' object hovered two miles from Bootee in Inner Mongolia, a part of China. Astonished officials said it then zoomed
in to circle the airport before suddenly vanishing. Air traffic controllers in
Inner Mongolia's capital Hoot on radar screens spotted the UFO. But they could
not make radio contact with it and immediately warned Bootee. "To guarantee
security,
aircraft had to land at secondary airports. Otherwise, it may have led to collision,"
the Sun quoted a spokeswoman as saying. Three flights from Beijing and Shanghai
were diverted to nearby airports. It is the third mysterious UFO sighting this
year to have resulted in Chinese airfields being closed. Xiaoshan, in Zhejiang
province, shut for a few days in July after an "oddly-shaped, twinkling bright
light" was seen nearby. Another scare was reported earlier in the summer at Hong
Kong. Some experts also believe the three sightings could be evidence of a new
Chinese military aircraft. Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO investigator,
said: "Whatever you think about UFOs there are serious national security and air
safety issues involved."
