Pilots sight UFO over China
AFP ^ | November 8, 2002

Several airline pilots have reported sighting a shining unidentified flying object (UFO) near the south-eastern Chinese city of Nanjing, a newspaper reported yesterday.

The first sighting was reported by a Xiamen Airlines pilot on Monday, who said he saw a light blue object hovering past his plane while 80km north of Nanjing, the Wen Wei Po daily reported.

At the same time, pilots of a Shandong Airline aircraft, which was some 120km away from the Xiamen airlines plane, also reported a similar sighting. They described the UFO as being a white-blue skateboard-shaped craft.

A pilot from another airplane, about 300km away, also reported a similar sighting to an airport control tower in Tonglu in Zhejiang province.

In recent years, China has witnessed a surge in UFO sightings.

But don't worry, the new jet fighter is chock full of US hardware (either designed by us or sold directly to them) so it should be pretty capable and safe.

BILL CLINTON WANTED UFO PROBE.

THE QUESTION IS WHERE DID HE WANT THE PROBE? UP HIS BE HIND OR HIS FAMOUS PENIS?

This explains it...Clinton sold our secrets to China AND alien planets.

Here's a recent sighting from Malaysia...they say "coffin" but maybe skateboard from a different angle? And how about those "rod" UFO'S?

A strange sight... (flying mystery coffin)

Not sure - I think there may be a fax number or e-mail address on his site...
