Airport Shut Down After UFO Sighting


An airport in Hangzhou City, China was dramatically shut down Wednesday night after baffled air traffic controllers spotted an incoming UFO on their radar systems.

The Shanghai Daily reported that planes were grounded and flights were diverted away from Xiaoshan airport after the mysterious glowing object appeared on monitoring instruments. Furthermore, the closure followed several supposed sightings of a strange airborne object across the city, with locals reportedly seeing a comet-like fireball in the sky.

Airport authorities immediately notified passengers to stop boarding and grounded all planes about to take off as flights were rerouted to neighboring airports in the cities of Ningbo and Wuxi.

The unexplained object soon vanished from radar screens but flights were delayed from taking off for an additional four hours.

The airport is investigating, but experts say what caused panic was merely sunlight reflecting off an aircraft.
