UNDENIABLE MASS SIGHTINGS [10f]
Foshan, China. October 7, 2015. Above this sprawling metropolis, thousands of shocked residents witness an astonishing spectacle – A city hovering in the clouds. The apparition of a cityscape is unmistakable and remains in the sky for several minutes, long enough to be captured on video, which is broadcast on Chinese television and subsequently disseminated on social media across the globe.
|
“Numerous people reported seeing what looked like skyscraper-type buildings in the clouds high in the sky. It was an amazing spectacle. There’s just no other way to describe it.” – Nick Redfern (Author, Memoirs of a Monster Hunter), |
While Chinese officials denounced the phenomenon as an elaborate hoax, to date, no one has been able to prove that the footage is not authentic, and the video is back up by the reports of numerous eyewitnesses. But some argue that even if the footage is genuine, it can be explained by an optical illusion known as Fata Morgana.
|
“So, one theory about what this could have been is something known as Fata Morgana, and that’s an illusion type of effect. Think of a mirage, in which you’re seeing something close to the horizon, and it’ll give an effect of something that’s not there. It’s an atmospheric illusion. The reason that I don’t think that this is a Fata Morgana effect is because this is way too high up to be one.” – Richard Dolan |
|
“Using the idea that this is some type of inversion layer to somehow broadcast or enhance the idea of a cityscape in the sky just doesn’t hold up. So, there could in fact have been some type of a large mothership or some craft in the sky. This isn’t new. Now, just a few days later, over 800 miles away, we had another sighting of this exact same phenomenon. So, it stands to reason that there was some type of physical presence in the sky.” – Jason Martell |
|
“If we assume that the vision of a floating city in the sky that was seen in Foshan by thousands of people was just some kind of optical illusion, I find it highly coincidental that the same vision is seen hundreds of miles away a few days later in another city called Jiangxi, also witnessed by thousands of people.” – David Whitehead |
Could thousands of people across China have really witnessed some type of alien base or mothership floating in the sky? And, if so, might it be evidence of extraterrestrials making their presence known? Ancient Astronaut Theorists suggest there have been many more cases of alien entities appearing in the skies above China, cases that the government could not ignore.
Zhejiang Province, China. July 7, 2010. Just after 8:40pm, the Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, which serves over 70,000 passengers a day, is suddenly shut down. All outbound flights are grounded, and inbound flights are diverted to nearby airports. The cause of the shutdown was an Unidentified Flying Object seen streaking across the night sky by a flight crew preparing for descent.
|
“Xiaoshan Airport is one of the largest in China. And that’s very important. It’s a very busy airport. What happened on July 7 is that a pilot from an incoming passenger airplane noticed something very unusual coming towards him. He notified the ground crew and the airport was shut down, because a comet-like object was basically speeding towards the airport. There was a trail behind it. It was a glowing, oval-shaped object.” – Paul Stonehill (Author, UFO Case Files of Russia), |
The object was also witnessed and photographed by numerous Hangzhou residents.
|
“When the UFO was seen, all hell broke loose. Flights were diverted. The military was contacted to see if they were test-flying anything in the air, which they weren’t. This is the third such incident in five years in China where the presence of a UFO has either shut down an airport or caused havoc and amazement amongst the populous. And it’s clearly something that the Chinese government want to shut down and play down. It could also be due to the fact that the Chinese have realized they’re not in control of their airspace, somebody else is.” – Nick Redfern (Author, Memoirs of a Monster Hunter), |
|
“The Xiaoshan event is only one of the events of this kind. The same thing happened in Guizhou Province. At that time, the pilots were instructed to avoid the UFO, ground their aircrafts and return to the air after the event, which can provide evidence of the existence of the UFO phenomenon.” – Sun Shili, Ph.D. |
While many in the United States view the UFO phenomenon as distinctly American, recent surveys have shown that roughly half of the 1.4 billion Chinese people believe in UFOs and extraterrestrial life. And Ancient Astronaut Theorists suggest that despite the Chinese government’s dismissal of recent UFO events, it now appears they too are taking an interest in otherworldly phenomena.
|
“It’s incredibly popular in China to a member of a UFO community that’s trying to make contact with extraterrestrial beings. The Chinese government is closely monitoring this and in fact, they’re financing some of these research groups. So, one wonders, is the Chinese government starting to view our contact with extraterrestrial beings as something simply too strong to deny?” – William Henry (Author / Investigative Mythologist), |
Could recent events be forcing the Chinese government to take a greater interest in examining possible extraterrestrial encounters, encounters that they have secretly known about for years? Ancient Astronaut Theorists say yes and suggest that China’s effort to manufacture the world’s largest radio telescope is an explicit mission towards the search for alien life.
