Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Chengdu, saw an unidentified flying object was flying in the air between 8:40 p.m. to 8:50 p.m. and took its picture with his camera on the night of April 18, Chengdu.

According to Mr. Zhang, the UFO had blinding white lights but did not make any noise. It was suspended in the air for few minutes and accelerated to move in a speed slower than flight, and it disappeared at about 8:51.

Reporters had learned from an observatory that a meteorological sounding machine would usually flies at 8 o'clock in the morning and evening, but the UFO does not appear to be shaped the same as the sounding balloon.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was skeptical. ;-)

Standard "Delta Blimp"

Look here

and

here.

The patent (or at least one of them) can be found here.

Old school stuff, these things have been flying over the West desert of Utah for years.

BLIMPS

do NOT travel at super fast speeds nor turn right angles at super speeds.

So much for your expertise on blimps.

You forgot to add “so there, smarty”

NOPE. Didn’t think that way.

I said what I thought rather straight-forwardly.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t get a good eyewitness description.
