Frequent UFO sightings reported in China’s Shanxi Province

by on Oct. 13, 2010, under UFOs

People’s Daily Online reports that two “luminous objects” appeared over northwestern Taiyuan in China’s Shanxi Province on October 11th. The objects were spotted at 8:40 pm and the sightings were reported to media agencies.

Reporters immediately traveled to the scene. On the way, they continued to receive UFO reports.

When reporters arrived at the scene, they did observe a “big milky-white luminous spot” circling above the clouds. The object disappeared around 9:10 pm.

This is not the first UFO sighting in Shanxi Province. According to People’s Daily Online, UFO sightings are frequent in Shanxi Province. The caption of an accompanying UFO photo on the website cites a date of September 23rd.

    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 http://www.ufocoverup.org for more info)

    • Gary Lamberfield

      If these UFOs are in fact extraterrestrial craft and their intention is to break the secrecy, there are many easier ways to make themselves known to the general population.
      My guess, they in fact are the ones desiring this secrecy. Would you want to reveal your presence to a hive of angry bees with nukes?

      holy cow ! aliens cowering  before the might of an american president ??? daydream believer, huh ? why if the ufo remained in place long enough for journalists  to attend do we have only a pic dated sept 23rd ? did everyone leave their cameras and cell phones at home ? there’s a difference between interesting reports and idiot reports- an I am afraid that pending any evidence,  this is of the later.

      You should learn to love science a little more, there are plenty of holes in your reasoning.
      1.  Problems with FTL Space Travel
      Why should superior aliens give a rats butt about our survival or the state of our wellbeing?  A race that has the capability of traveling faster than light is so many eons advanced beyond us that we’d be like bugs to them.  Space travel leveraging extra-spatial dimensions not only demands an intimate understanding of quantum mechanics but also fuel the mass of Jupiter (1045 joules) just to get the engine warmed-up and create a space-time distortion bubble, let alone travel to the nearest star, let alone wander all over the galaxy, let alone hop from galaxy to galaxy.  It isn’t economical to fly such distances to grovel over such a tiny blue marble.  It’s even reasonable to suggest that interstellar space travel is impossible simply because there may not even be enough fuel in a typical home star system to make even one successful trip.
      2.  Abundance and Poverty
      It’s reasonable to suggest that we’d all be dead by now if such an advanced race had even a remote interest in our planet as a resource.  However since there are millions of other more resourceful metal-rich population I systems closer to the galactic core more densely dispersed to choose from, taking any practical interest in Earth is a waste of time and resources.  This assumes that our superior aliens also know how to deal with the dense cosmic radiation near the galactic core.
      3.  Superior and Inferior Aliens
      The notion that all aliens want to invade us is silly at best and egotistic at worst.  It just isn’t practical.  The first metal rich population I stars (such as ours) formed quite late in the lifetime of the universe suggesting that advanced races are probably uncommon.   Advanced civilization isn’t possible without access to abundant heavy metals such as copper, platinum, plutonium, uranium, rhodium, zinc, and tantalum.  Some biologists would suggest that life cannot even form and evolve without heavy metals.

      Now I think we can safely continue our lives without worrying about aliens and UFOs because Earth is a wonderful place to live and with the one life (presumably one life) we each have, it just makes sense to make the most of it and share it with loved ones; as opposed to indulging UFOs to the point of mental illness.
      Should an alien arrive on my doorstep tomorrow the only thing I would say is, “What could you possibly want from me? any of us?”

    Looks like someone is flying recon flights over China.

    If China has wayward nuclear devices at their airport, the UFO’s will let us know…

  • pobbit

    whats in that part of china that anyone including aliens might be interested in? is their weapons or minerals their?

    • pobbit

      I found the answer on wikipedia: Industry in Shanxi is centered around heavy industries such as coal and chemical production, power generation, and metal refining.[citation needed] There are countless military-related industries in Shanxi Province due to its geographic location and history when it is used to be the base of the Chinese Communist Party and the People’s Liberation Army. Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre, one of China’s three satellite launch centers, is located in the middle of Shanxi Province with China’s largest stockpile of nuclear missiles.

      “I’ll bet that one of those is the reason for it”

        I really enjoy the Idea of  vanishing cesspools.  I enjoy the disappearance of nuclear strong holds…  I hope it happens more often.

        • Cherlyn Gardner Strong

          Shanxi Province is different than Shaanxi Province. A village in Shaanxi Province is the one that allegedly disappeared, not one in Shanxi. :-)

    An interesting note from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanxi):
     
    “There are countless military-related industries in Shanxi Province due to its geographic location and history when it is used to be the base of the Chinese Communist Party and the People’s Liberation Army. Taiyuan Satellite Launch Centre, one of China’s three satellite launch centers, is located in the middle of Shanxi Province with China’s largest stockpile of nuclear missiles.”

      Having studied Leslie Kean’s book on UFOs, I believe you are on to something.  Aliens are making contact with people of diverse nations,  personalities.  Our planet calls them military leaders and mystics.  They study us as a whole, know what is happening to Earth because of  technological advances.  They are concerned that we don’t break through energy fields holding the galaxies together with our weaponry and warlike ways.  They don’t want us to blow our species on Earth back into yet another primitive age.  Their ‘no contact’ rules are gradually being torn away by our primitive societal structures coupled with advanced weaponry.  Has it occurred to our warring planetary leaders that blowing ourselves to kingdom come may create energy consequences in the Universe?  How do we know that our weapons, including hydrogen bombs, might implode the Milky Way into Andromeda, from where some of our ‘friends’ may be traveling through worm holes in the ‘matrix’ into our Galaxy.  Don’t think for a second that the U.S., her allies haven’t been frantically covering up because they know we are technologically inferior to our friends, who are refusing to have intelligent discourse with war lords and the elite.  They see warlords ruling the slave class.  Some of them are obviously peaceful in intent.  Some might desire to exploit us. Thankfully, they are in league.  Somewhere in our solar system there are mother ships from other planetary systems and galaxies cloaking themselves and sending study teams in smaller craft.  They reveal themselves to our leaders in shows of power over nuclear sites or urban centers.  They warn us.  If a clammy finger tries to start world war III, they will act. Look for a moment at what China (warlords) did to Tibet (spiritual human beings with no standing army).  If you were an alien with advanced technological and moral ways, would you let China know they are being watched? Now observe the U.S.  Native Americans trapped on impoverished reservations for over a hundred years, Japanese immigrants incarcerated during world war II, the treatment of Blacks and Hispanics, violence breaking out towards the unborn and others, arsenals full of chemicals and weaponry capable of killing the planet ten times over… What would you do if you were an alien with a no contact directive on a mother ship, working behind the scenes to study and protect our species on Earth?  In Montana, where I live (vast wilderness with around 900,000 humans), alien spacecraft have temporarily shut down two missile sights approximately at Great Falls and Belt (1967).  Animal mutilations (genetic material acquisitions) are ongoing.  UFOs have been observed flying over our wheat growing belts and other farming, ranching areas and over the Missouri River too multiple to reiterate.  Citizens, law enforcement and pilots have made reports to our governing elite, only to be treated like lunatics. Some (myself included, 1997) have been abducted for human brain capacity  research and other biological research, and set free unharmed.  What has happened recently concerning Montana? Robert Salas (ex-military, Great Falls missile silo shutdown) and Jesse Marcel, Jr. (ex-military Doctor, witness to Roswell spacecraft debris) are writing books and lecturing about their encounters, and being treated like nuts. First contact was made with me when I used my psychic abilities to help find a downed plane in a vast Montana wilderness area.  Leslie Kean is probably going to put out another book about this ‘fringe lunatic’ crowd next.  The Mystic

        See also my previous comment.

        Our warlike weapons have an insignificant impact on the sun let alone the rest of the galaxy let alone the rest of the universe.  Your perception of scale is way way way way off.  A single drop of water in the pacific ocean is still ridiculously way off.  Furthermore, the cosmos radiates hazardous radiation constantly in every direction on these larger scales.  This comment is completely unrealistic.
        Black holes hold our galaxies together, the energy field is called “gravitation.”
        Concerned about our welfare: speculation, speculation, speculation, argumentum ad ignorantiam.  You can drop this point completely.
        Imploding our milky way into andromeda?  See my first bulleted-point except add many many more zeros on the right side.
        Our technological inferiority: see my previous comment about population i stars.  We might be the first aliens to emerge in the universe.  14.7~ Ga. is probably infantile.
        There is no reason to believe that aliens are anything like humans possessing the capacity for morality, cruelty, love, among a myriad of other human characteristics.

        Your post is very imaginative but you have a lot of things about the cosmos completely wrong.  See my previous comment for references and leads on reading-up about the cosmos.  I’m sure you will be delighted and surprised as I once was.
