BEIJING, July 3 (Reuter) - An unidentified flying object appeared
|
|
suddenly over China's far west region of Xinjiang, startling the crew of
|
|
a passenger plane, the official Workers' Daily said on Saturday.
|
|
|
|
As the crew of Xinjiang Airlines Flight 9304 was flying into Urumqi
|
|
from the southern city of Shenzhen on the night of July 1, they saw an
|
|
object brighter than a star hurtling towards them, the paper said.
|
|
|
|
The object, which first appeared as a point of light, grew into a
|
|
shining ball, with light fanning out at the back.
|
|
|
|
The paper said it zoomed about 3,000 metres (9,800 feet) above the
|
|
Soviet-made plane, which was flying at 11,000 metres (36,000 feet), and
|
|
cast a bright beam of light into the crew cabin, making it as bright as
|
|
day.
|
|
|
|
The crew took the plane down to about 7,000 metres (23,000 feet)
|
|
and the object finally disappeared, the Workers' Daily said. The plane
|
|
landed safely.
|
|
|
|
The paper said that throughout the incident the crew remained in
|
|
touch wit air traffic controllers, who said the skies were supposed to
|
|
be clear.
|
|
|
|
China's state-run press has recently mentioned several sightings of
|
|
strange objects in the sky. While official enquiries are sometimes
|
|
promised, their results are not announced.
