Chinese scientists 'filmed UFO for 40 minutes'

[twinmama]

The UFO world is alive with speculation that China is about to reveal details of startling and detailed footage of an unidentified flying object taken during the solar eclipse on July 22.

There is a Chinese news video clip, anyone fluent in Chinese?

I would like to here the official explanation from the Chinese Government. But it seems genuine.

@twinmama
here is some more info from mufon.

From what I read a few days ago I think it was observed by a group of students at an observatory. Seems interesting and genuine, and I hope it is real, but who knows what the object really is.

Hi all

Here is a "official" explanation from the Chinese Government: It’s an unidentified object, but ‘not a UFO’

The British newspaper quoted Ji as having said: "During the July 22 total solar eclipse observation, China had discovered near the sun an unidentified object, it's physical nature remains to be further studied."
Ji said he doesn't know why his explanation about a bright spot close to the sun, very likely to be the result of some coronal activity filmed during the total eclipse, was misunderstood.
"Obviously, there have been misunderstandings," Ji says while speaking to China Daily.

Agreed. Once again, it sounds like UFO nuts have gone off the deep end... again...

Well, it was actually astronomer Ji Haisheng who claims he was misquoted and never said it was a UFO, but an "unidentified object", and that he thought the anomaly was simnply a coronal effect. The Daily Mail isn't exactly the most prestigious news source either; it's a right-wing conservative rag, a tabloid. It's the FOX news of the U.K.:

"Ji says that on Sept 2 he received a call from a journalist who asked him about UFO images taken during the solar eclipse. "I was confused and retorted, 'what UFO?'"
It was not until the journalist referred to the photograph of a bright spot near the sun, posted on the observatory's website as a summary report about Chinese observation of the eclipse, that Ji realized what he was talking about.
Ji told the journalist that "people were being organized to study the data, complete the analysis and reveal the scientific results. That will take at least one year to finalize."
A week later, both the quotes ended up in the Daily Mail report as confirmation of "UFO 'filmed for 40 minutes' by Chinese scientists during solar eclipse"."​

I find it fascinating how people want to distort the facts to match their own expectations. In the twinkling of an eye an obscure coronal effect becomes a ship piloted by little gray men. Oy vey, eh?

A UFO could be something as simple as a secret government aircraft.

I do not believe this to be real

These people are dense. How can it be a UO without being a UFO? UFO doesn't imply anything other than unidentified flying object. If it's in the air it's flying, look up the definition. Floating is considered flying. Although if it disappeared then it would have to be moving too.

Remember what the "U" stands for people... Remember the "U"...

 

[angellous_evangellous]

Agreed. Once again, it sounds like UFO nuts have gone off the deep end... again...

I don't think that they ever left...

Is the government this dense to make up such a thing...?

When I was in China I became somewhat fluent in Mandarin, but this is Cantonese. However because they do share many words I was able to make out some of what they said. One of the men was saying, "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's . . . ." Unfortunately, I couldn't make out the next word.

By definition, but the term UFO by common usage is synonymous with an alien aircraft. An unidentified object can be anything, but saying "confirmed UFO sighting," even though that is what the scientist said, putting it like that puts a whole new meaning on it.
It would be interesting if this is real, considering 40 minutes would be a long time to be filmed (that would make it seem as if they wanted to be seen), but I can't see it being anything more than a coronal effect.

Only the lemmings believe that UFO=Little Green Men.
