UFO in China has 'military connection': Official

BEIJING: An Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), which disrupted air
traffic in a Chinese city has a "military connection", a Chinese
official has said.

The authorities have learnt what the UFO was, after investigations,
but it was not the "proper time to publicly disclose" the information
because there was a "military connection" to it, state run 'China
Daily' quoted an official as saying.

The UFO has disrupted air traffic over Hangzhou, capital of China's
Zhejiang's Province on Wednesday.

Xiaoshan Airport was closed after the UFO was detected at around 9 pm,
and some flights were re-routed to airports in the cities of Ningbo
and Wuxi, said a spokesman of the airport.

The airport had resumed operations, and more details will be released
after an investigation, he said.

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".

Another official Daily, 'Global Times' reported that "a UFO trailed by
a fan-shaped white light appeared last Wednesday in Urumqi, Northwest
China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region".

It was later identified as debris from an intercontinental missile
launched by the US, Song Huagang, secretary general of the Xinjiang
Astronomy Society said.
