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.

Thanks for the ping. I'm thinking Lockheed Skunk Works. Its easier to keep these kinds of things quiet when they are tested in another country and so witnesses can more easily be dismissed as 'crazies'. On the other hand it could also be a psychology test of China (and its military preparedness/reactions?). Either way, if any of this is true, it's a major risk considering it could crash in non-US territory...
