(Article by Cha Leping (2686 2867 16271 and Lin Hongjing [5677 4767 2468]: "Pre-
liminary Survey of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in China"]
(Text) Every country in the world has had large numbers of reports giving eye-
witness accounts of unidentified flying objects (UFO's). During the past half
year, fans of the study of UFO phenomena in 15 of China's provinces, municipalities
and autonomous regions have also collected and exchanged almost 100 examples of
eyewitness accounts. This shows that in the vast territory of China, UFO's objec-
tively exist as a phenomenon.
Reports about unidentified flying objects may be divided into three categories
on the basis of their shapes.
The first type has been described as being like a disk or a globe in shape, with
some being ovular or egg shaped. During daylight hours, they frequently appear as
being silver in color, while at night they emit an orange-red brilliance. They
are frequently accompanied by a white smoke cloud-that has been emitted. This
type has appeared in about 80 percent of. the reports. The following are several
fairly classic real examples.
At 2100 hours on 13 November 1978, Zhang Zhengmin [1728 1767 24021, a student in the
76th class of the Department of Space Physics at Wuhan University returned to his
dormitory from the school library. As he entered the door, he said that the "moon"
in the west was really frightening and had become much larger than usual. His room-
mates, Cheng Shanda [4453 1472 1129] and Han Erfan [7281 0059 4907] did not believe
him because at this hour the moon should be in the east. The three thereupon rushed
out of the room to take a look and sure enough, there in the west. at a 400 angle of,
elevation in a clear night sky was a round object with a visual diameter of about
1 degree, giving off an orange-red light at a light intensity slightly less than
of a full moon. The top part of the object was covered with a slowly curling cloud
mass. The concealed portion was at times large and at times small. The entire
object was slowly flying in a west by north direction, its color becoming deeper
and deeper, and its brightness also gradually diminishing, but its visual diameter
showed no apparent decrease in size. Classmate Chang Shanda said, "There was
complete silence at the time, and the three of us felt a little afraid. When the
chemistry building blocked our view of the object, we raced to the top of the-big
 C00174701
library (a high place) to look at it some more, but we don't know where it flew.
The entire period of observation was about 10 minutes, and some pedestrians in the
street also stopped to watch it." This example of an observation of a flying ob-
ject was quite representative. More than 10 examples reported from another nine
provinces and municipalities also described flying objects in either exactly the
same way or extremely similarly. Among them, two examples also reported these ob-
jects as having flown into a cloud, illuminating the entire cloud in an extremely
magnificent sight.
At 1800 hours on 9 September 1976, Hu Suisheng [5170 6659 3932] and some comrades
from the No 2 Chemical Plant in Jiangxi Province were listening to f. broadcast at
the main entrance to his home on Ruancheng Xilu, Yichun City, Jiangxi Province.
Suddenly they looked up to see a silvery flying object in the air at a 60 degree
angle of elevation that was shaped like a pair of cymbals connected together and
revolving on its vertical axis perpendicular to the lower line-of the setting sun.
It constantly spurted out a silvery vapor, and it was at an elevation of approxi-
mately somewhat more than 2,000 meters. It flew at a fairly rapid speed from the
east toward the northwest and disappeared in a distant mountain valley. The period
of observation totalled 5 minutes. There were many witnesses in the streets at the
time, and everyone discussed the event excitedly but without being able to explain
it.
At 2130 hours on 9 September 1979, Shao Shengnan [5135 3932 0589), and Shen Ziran
[3088 5261 35441, technicians at the People's Dayuan Farm in Jianli County, Hubei
Province sighted a round flying object in the southwestern sky at a 70 degree angle
of elevation. It was emitting a red and yellow ray of light and the forward part
of_-itwascircled with blue. Its brightness was about that of a 1 or 2 star; its
v tsnal diameter was about 30' ; it trailed an awl-shaped tail, its l~ngtt[ was four
times the diameter of its round head; and its height was estimated at 1,000 to 2,000
meters. It flew rapidly and soundlessly from the northeast toward the southwest.
They immediately called two people out to take a look at it. When they saw it only
at about a 15 degree angle of elevation, suddenly it changed to a right angle and
slowed speed, and then at an inclu.'ed angle of about 10 degrees to the horizon, it
.hanged flight direction to fly toward the southeastern horizon where trees blocked
the view and it disappeared. The period of observation was about 1 minute.
At 2140 hours on 9 September 1979, an outdoor movie was being shown at the Hunan
Diesel Engine Plant at Zhangmugiao, Changde County, Hunan Province when suddenly
a commotion broke out in the audience, which frantically turned their heads to
look upward at the sky in amazement. Lo Xuezhi (5012 1331 4249], a functionary in
the plant's political department turned his head to look, seeing an object in the
sky to the west at about 1,500 meters. It was oval shaped in appearance and emitted
a powerful red and yellow light that was brighter than the full moon. The head of
the object was orange-red, and it trailed a bright tail which seemed to be emitting
:t gas. It flew silently and parallel to the ground from the north toward the south-
west, disappearing after 3 minutes. Lo Xuezhfh used the 2.5 power binoculars he
was carrying at the time to examine the object carefully, and wrote an exhaustive
report. Changde County is 145 kilometers. from Jianli County. On that night, the
sky was clear and cloudless. This object might possibly have been the same object
as the object in the example next above. If so, it may be inferred that its flying
 C00174701
speed was at least 850 kilometers per hour, and if you take into consideration the
reduction in speed to change direction, it must have actually been even faster. In
addition, according to Lo Xuezhi's estimate, the visual diameter of the long axis
was greater than 2 degrees, so at a distance of 1500 meters, its lineal angle must
have been more than 50 meters.
Use shaped unidentified flying objects sometimes also appear at high altitudes.
One summer night in 1965, when Song Jiandong [1345 1696 2639] of the broadcasting
station in Jingan County, Jiangxi County was looking at the stars, (Song was on a
temporary duty assignment in Beijing at the time in the courtyard at 20 Shangsitiao,
Chongwen District), when unexpectedly he sighted a small bright point of light moving
across the night sky from west to east at a speed similar to that of most artificial
satellites. Soon afterward he discovered that a rather large point of light had
appeared behind the first one. After 10 seconds or so, the distance between the two
points of light gradually narrowed, and Song Jiandong immediately aimed his homemade
astronomical telescope at them. He saw that the large point of light appeared oval
in shape and emitted green light. The small point of light remained in the shape
of a dot. When he again used his unaided eyes to look, the large point of light
suddenly collided with the small point of light at a speed several times what it had
been. The two moved now left now right in pursuit of each other as though playing.
As the two-points of light almost collided, they both disappeared at the same time.
Song Jiandong looked, his eyes astounded and his mouth agape, and recorded the event
immediately thereafter. He felt they were positively not meteorites or artificial
satellites.
In still another report, an unidentified flying object appeared at low altitudes,
frequently shining a powerful beam of light toward the surface of the earth. In
-late-January -1979-, an--un-identif-fed-flying-object-o?- -ardluary-shape-etopped-- suspended
above a highway in Training County, Fujian Province shining a blinding light down-
ward and scaring in all directions three women from Zhukou Commune who were going to
market before dawn. In February of the same year, an extremely bright flying ol.-
ject darted across an airfield in Shanxi "lighting up half the sky." Similar re-
ports have also come from Jiangsu and Hubei provinces. At 0930 on 1 July, Liu
Baoren [0491 1405 00881, Tian Qing 13944 7230], and Zhao Yauyan 16392 3601 3601]
of the Institute of Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences; were waiting for a bus
at the Qijiahuozi bus stop in the northern suburbs of Beijing. They sighted a
ball shaped flying object in the sky with an estimated diameter of 10 meters.
From the bottom of it projected a tail that looked like a stick that was about 5
meters long, and. hung straight down. It flew from due southeast toward the north-
against the wind at the speed of most airplanes and without noise of any kind.
east
Inquires made by the witnesses revealed that on that day no meteorological or at-
mospheric testing balloons had been released by the Beijing Observatory or the
Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. Only the Beijing Meteorology
Station had released a meteorology balloon, but the balloon was white, while the
flying object appeared to be dark gray in color. The times did not jibe either.
The second category are huge, long unidentified flying objects. They rarely appear.
At 2040 hours on 23 October 1978, a huge, long unidentified flying object appeared
in the sky over a certain airfield in Gansu Province. It carried two bright lights
 C00174701
in front and at the tail, and flew from east to west. The speed of movement of this
object was not astounding, but according to a report from airforce pilots and ground
support personnel who had been watching an outdoor movie at the airfield, its visual
diameter was 30 degree to 35 degrees. It covered half the sky, causing extreme
astonishment. At the estimated height of 6,000 to 8,000 meters that they gave, its
length must have been greater than 1,000 meters.
The third category of unidentified flying objects are in the shape of a spiral
nebula. Composed of a brighted lightly central core, and revolving arms composed of
small points of light radiated by the core, the volume may be enormous.
At 2300 hours on 26 July 1977, Zhang Zhousheng (1728 6650 39321 of the Yunnan Ob-
servatory observed an unidentified flying object of this type with an apparent
visual diameter S degrees in extent in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. He made a record
and conducted investigations, discovering that for 180 kilometers north and south
many people. had seen this unidentified flying object at the same time. Additional-
ly, Yang Fozhang 12799 0154 45451 of the Chengdu Geology Institute, and Qian Ruhu
16929 3168 57061 of the Shanghai Ruijin Telecommunications Component Plant saw
similar unidentified flying objects in Chengdu and in Anhui respectively.
We have made the following preliminary analysis of these unidentified flying object
phenomona, which we provide for everybody's consideration.
(1) Prior to 1978, "flying saucer" incidents were virtually unheard of in China,
but numerous reports based on data from prior to this time have appeared. Addi-
tionally, those giving eyewitness accounts include scientists and technicians, pi-
lots, cadres, and teachers, and in most cases tens or thousands of people witnessed
them-at-the-same -t#m ---In-the--course-of---inquir-:Les-,--ample-witnesses-have been fro- -
vided. Consequently, we feel all the phenomena reported are substantially reliable
and were actually experienced by the eye witnesses. Possibilities that they were
fabricated, imagined, or were rare psychological phenomena are not great.
(2) On the basis of existing scientific knowledge, some reports may be explained
by already known physical phenomena or already known rarely'seen phenomena such
as meteorites, fragments of man made aerial navigation devices, atmospheric whirl-
pools, balloons, the effects of.atmospheric electrical discharges, ball shaped
lightning flashes, and flashes of light from the earth preceding an earthquake.
But explanation of some reports in terms of already known phenomena is either dif-
ficult or extremely farfetched, as for example, the strong light emitted by the
flying objects and their mobility at high altitudes. Toward these phenomena, we
must adopt an objective attitude of respect for facts and strive to use existing
scientific knowledge to explain them, without brushing aside the possibility of
phenomena not yet known, and conduct serious scientific observations and study
without any preconceptions. As regards hypotheses about UPO's being related to
extraterrestrial or terrestrial creatures as yet unknown, we must also accept those
parts that are credible and consider them without totally denying them altogether.
 C00174701
(3) Most of the cases reported were not only similar in form and characteristics
to reports from abroad of UPO's, but there also seems to be a rather extraordinary
correlation in the times of events. Between 1971 and 1973, the United States and
the United Kingdom experienced large numbers of eye witness accounts, and in China
the number of reports showed a small surge as well. On 18 September 1976 in
Tehran, Iran, an airforce Phantom fighter aircraft and a UFO had a combat encounter
that raised a furor, while during this same time, the number of reports increased in
China. During the summer and autumn of 1977, there was a case of UFO's in various
places in Europe, and the number of reports in China were also fairly numerous.
For example, Yuan Chenxin 15913 2182 2450] of the Institute of Paleoanthropology
of the Chinese Academy of Sciences sighted a disc shaped unidentified flying object
in the forest area of Shennongjia in Hubei Province. Fang Qing [2455 7230] and
others from the Shanxi Teachers College observed an orange-red saucer shaped un-
identified flying object at Taiyuan. On 21 October 1978, an incident took place in
Australia in which a UFO caused the disappearance of an airplane, and two days later
in China a correspondingly huge unidentified flying object of similar characteris-
tics was observed. In early 1979 in New Zealand, storms broke out everywhere and
there were corresponding reports inside China. On 17 August, a Japanese pilot
photographed a UFO, and 2200 hours on 21 August, Beijing student Wang Jianmin
[3769 1696 3046] observed in the skies over Beijing a blue disc shaped unidentified
flying cbject flying in a complex path, now fast now slow, and able to stop sudden-
ly. On the morning of 10 November, Fan Da [5400 66711, a cadre at Danzhu Commune,
Pingnan County, Guangxi Province observed from the fourth floor of a building a
silvery oval shaped unidentified flying object that constantly spurted forth some
atf #nrtdent occured t Spam vEricK a UFO
subst-ante as--it-fi-ew. --The- next-day
forced the landing of a passenger jet aircraft.
(4) By comparison with some events reported abroad, the substance of reports
currently being received in China is rather pedestrian. For example, there have
been no instances in which unidentified flying objects have caused power outages or
blotted out communications. There have been no photographs or movies taken, or
material evidence left behind. There have been no cases of peril to humans or to
social order. There certainly have been no cases of "flying saucer men." Inasmuch
as most flying objects have not outstandingly exceeded the flying ability of man-
made flying objects, it is :got impossible that some of them have been manmade ob-
jects manufactured for special purposes.
Owing to the limitations of certain conditions, and because quite a few reports
have contained no precise dates or were recorded unscientifically, their value has
to be discounted. Among the people there are possibly numerous incidents of un-
identified aerial phenomena awaiting our investigation and analysis. We hope that
more aficionados will join in this work, and when they have sightings that they will
get in touch by sending a letter to Cha Leping, Department of Space Physics, Wuhan
University, Wuhan.
