In a disturbing news out of Australia, thrill-seeking teens have taken to driving at dangerous speeds to conjure up a rumored ghost.

According to the tale that has intrigued the teens, when a vehicle hits 111 mph along Lemon Tree Passage Road, it is said that a motorcycle ghost will appear in the rear view mirror.

The road between New Castle and Sydney has been the backdrop for many YouTube videos posted by teens trying to prove the tale to be real. The videos have actually captured a white light behind the speeding cars when the vehicles are said to hit that specific speed.

The ghost could very well be a very much alive motorcycle rider playing a prank on local teens and having a jolly good time doing it. It appears as though the teens are having fun endangering the lives of themselves and others on these paranormal inspired joy rides.

Local police, of course, are not having a good time and are not happy at all about this dangerous ghost hunting trend. They do aim to stop it.

A police spokseman has issued a statement for speeders: “We want speeding drivers to know that the only bright light they’ll be seeing in their rear windows will be the red and blue lights of a police car.”

Although several videos are available for viewing, the videos are unsuitable to post.

This is due to the extreme profanity that spews out of the mouths of the screaming and speeding teens in the videos.

If profanity and screaming teens don’t bother you, you can easily find these videos by typing “Lemon Tree Passage Ghost” on YouTube.

Mass UFO sightings were again reported in China on August 7th, exactly one month after Hangzhou’s Xiaoshan Airport was shut down.

The latest UFOs in China were seen at different times on that day in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Nanjing and Ganzhou of Jiangxi Province. These latest sightings have prompted People’s Daily Online to seek the expert and rational advice of Zhu Jim, the vice chairman of the Beijing UFO Research Organization.

The expert urges the people of China to employ the skill of “rational analysis” when looking toward the sky.

Of course, the media attention is suspected of making matters worse in China. The article states: “The concentrative reporting from the media amplified the events and certain media groups were even suspected of hyping up the news.”

Hyped up news or not, the expert offers a very interesting introductory lesson in UFOs, emphasizing the distinct differences between UFOs and flying saucers. He offers rational explanations for most sightings and offers many explanations for them that most people wouldn’t think of, from kites to insects. It says, “…most UFO events can be explained by rational reason through systematic investigation and comprehensive analysis.”

The problem is that kites and insects aren’t usually the cause of airport shutdowns.

Expert: Most UFO incidents have reasonable explanations

There have been many recent reports of UFO sightings in many different regions and the latest incident involved netizens from Shanghai, Zhejiang, Nanjing and Ganzhou of Jiangxi Province, who claimed they saw UFOs all at different times on Aug. 7.

Along with the continual media coverage, public attention also heated up, and some people even connected it with the recent abnormal weather and natural pits in many regions, and claimed the world would end in 2012. All of a sudden, different rumors are everywhere.

A reporter from People’s Daily interviewed Zhu Jin, the curator of the Beijing Planetarium and vice chairman of the Beijing UFO Research Organization. He gave professional explanations about these incidents.

While I was enjoying a nice cup of coffee in my motel room in beautiful La Jolla, California, I had a good chuckle over the latest “China UFO” news.

So, now I have to share.

Remember last month when we heard about that UFO sighting in China? You know, the sighting on July 7th that caused that hour-long shutdown of the Xiaoshan Airport in China. The one that also coincided with the anniversary of the Roswell incident.

Yes, that’s the one.

Since the airport authorities in Hangzhou couldn’t come up with an answer other than a UFO, a team of UFO experts from Shanghai stepped in to investigate the matter a week later. Then, also a week later, the mainstream media decided to start covering the “UFO in China” news, since some of them didn’t think that bloggers were capable of covering the story.

We all thought that the case was closed when the experts concluded that it was just a private plane that shut down the airport.

This private plane theory did not satisfy UFO enthusiasts (or anyone else). We all had a good chuckle over that explanation, but we did manage to move on with our lives.

So, not leaving well enough alone, and to further support the private plane explanation from the UFO experts, the media in China then released a news story about those pesky private plane flying billionaires. They said that those billionaires fly all over the place in their private planes without first filing flight plans. While the billionaires have caused flights to be diverted in the past, they’ve never managed to shut down an airport.

Well, they didn’t until July, they said.

It was a more creative explanation and it didn’t insult our intelligence too badly. At least it wasn’t another weather balloon that shut down the airport.

It wasn’t just us in the United States who felt that something just wasn’t right about that private plane explanation. The explanation also didn’t satisfy critical thinkers in China. So, the debate continues.

UFO researcher, Professor Wang, has a theory about that private plane. If you recall, Professor Wang recently predicted more UFO sightings to come in 2011 and 2012. So, professor Wang weighed in about the private plane theory.

As reported by Chinanews.com.cn:

According to Wang Sichao, a researcher from the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the UFO that encroached on the airspace of Xiaoshan airport in Hangzhou flew at a height of one kilometer from the ground. It might be some special aircraft, such as a plane, or some rapid, noiseless or low-noise aircraft.

Wang also believes that the UFO was unlikely to be some typical domestic plane or overseas plane. Also, it could not be cruise missile or rocket fragments.

So, are those billionaires now buying unusual private planes that can be mistaken for UFOs? We’ll keep monitoring the news out of China and see what they come up with.

Kudos to Professor Wang that he continues to search for answers related to this incident, since he also knows that the private plane theory isn’t quite convincing enough. So, the special plane theory could explain why airport officials thought that the plane could be a UFO, and caused an airport shutdown because of it.

Of course, we still haven’t heard anything new about that UFO sighting in Chongqing that occurred a week after the Xiaoshan airport incident.

At least some people have grown tired of keeping a lid on things, or having to come up with lame explanations to satisfy the critical thinkers. For example, we recently learned that Winston Churchill once ordered a UFO “cover up”.  Also, according to the Associated Press yesterday, Brazil’s air force has been ordered to document UFO sightings and to make the data available to the public.

In fact, they are just going to disclose all of it in Brazil: “All past and future data — whether written reports, photos or video — will be processed by the air force and then housed in the National Archives in Rio de Janeiro.”
