In the photo above, exposure has been lengthened
causing the landing lights of an incoming airliner to form one elongated
white streak, while the blinking FAA lights appear as repeating bright
dots of light as the jet passes during the exposure time. Notice in
the photo from China the ghostly doubling of the house and other objects,
indicating a jostling of the camera during a longer than normal exposure
time.
An unidentified flying object (UFO) disrupted air traffic over Zhejiang's
provincial capital Hangzhou late on Wednesday, the municipal government
said on Thursday.
Xiaoshan Airport was closed after the UFO was detected at around 9
pm, and some flights were rerouted to airports in the cities of Ningbo
and Wuxi , said an airport spokesman, who declined to be named.
The airport had resumed operations, and more details will be released
after an investigation, he said.
A source with knowledge of the matter, however, told China Daily on
Thursday that authorities had learned what the UFO was after an investigation.
But it was not the proper time to publicly disclose the information
because there was a military connection, he said, adding that an official
explanation is expected to be given on Friday.
Inbound flights were diverted to the nearby airports in Zhejiang province's
Ningbo and Jiangsu province's Wuxi. Outbound flights were delayed
for three to four hours.
A staff member at the airport's information desk said the airport
had "no idea" how many flights were affected by the closure.
At around 11 pm on Wednesday, a netizen wrote three entries announcing
the airport's closure in his microblog at Sina.com, but they
were all soon deleted.
He posted an apology at midnight, saying the news had not been confirmed
and asking those who had republished his earlier entries to delete
them.
