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.

It's just Wang Wei, the pilot the Orion put into orbit.

Is that Art Bell?

My regular talk radio station started carrying a similar program,and I can't stand it so I have gone over to the station that carries Art Bell. For several months now it is always so and so filling in for Art Bell.

Do you know what has happened to him?

what has happened to him?

Art is on when he can be. He was on last night, but he announced he would pretty much retire [for real this time] in January.

"I'm on it..."

Art Bell has been having back problems. I guess he is going to retire (again!). I don't listen to him as much anymore (even when he is on). Not sure if the show has gotten boring - or if the novelty has just worn off.

He's retiring due to his back problems, it was posted a week ago on FR.

Do you know what has happened to him?

Art has been suffering from a serious back problem and has decided to retire .... again. This time, he claims, it is for good. He will retire sometime after New Year.

In the meantime, George Noory is filling in on those days when Art can't work. He will be hosting the show after Art's retirement. On weekends, you can catch Linda Moulton Howe and some other person. Art's web site is: http://www.artbell.com

Are they really pictures? The first looks like a Photoshopped job, and the second one looks like it's CG.

Don't know if it is the same "ship" but here is a link to the BBC and a video clip of a UFO taken over Kent, England.

Do some reseach, look around, be resourceful. Don't believe what I post (there are many here more knowledgeable than I), that's what we're (supposedly) all about, right?
