Half of the entire Chinese population believes in UFOs.

Hundreds of scientists and engineers conduct thorough studies of
the unidentified phenomenon. According to Chinese ufologists,
aliens live among humans. Ugologists also claim that recently
aliens started to show more interest in China. Most recent UFO
was spotted in Nanking, China.

According to a Chinese pilot, he noticed a flickering white and
blue object, which hovered right beside the aircraft just as he
was about to land. The pilot observed how an oval-shaped flying
object was escorting the airplane. Then suddenly, the object
made a rapid turn and disappeared behind the clouds.

This story could sound rather nonsensical. However, other two
pilots from other Chinese aircrafts reported the exact same
phenomenon to the control center. One of them was piloting at
120 km to the North, while the other was flying at 300km to the
South, reports "Izvestia".

A considerable amount of such strange encounters with "feidi"
(this is how a UFO is referred to in China) has been recorded in
China for the past few years. In some cases, people saw
fluorescent orange light, above which hovered a rather
strangely-shaped object. In other instances, people witnessed an
object no bigger than a basket ball which had been divided in
half right before their eyes. The two balls started circling the
area and then disappeared completely. One time, people witnessed
an object similar to a whipping top. Its trail was marked by a
stripe of light. The object was also held responsible for
shutting off electricity in several houses, since no malfunction
had been reported at the electric power station.

One Chinese newspaper "South China Monitoring Post" reported the
most fascinating case. One hundred Chinese witnessed a double-
seated fighter-interceptor of the Chinese Air Force "playing
cat-and-mouse" with a hypothetical UFO not far away from a
military


base in the town of Chinjou. A mushroom-shaped object with
rotating brightly lit bottom was spotted by four radar stations.
When approaching the interceptor (in about 4,000 meters), the
object instantly moved upwards. None of the ground-based control
services ordered to open fire.

"Izvestia" reports that China has a record number of special
clubs of UFO lovers. There are many who attempt to establish
some sort of a connection with the extraterrestrial. Their
actions are protected by the National Society of the
extraterrestrial studies, which was founded 25 years ago. The
Society is financed by the government. Only professional
scientists and engineers are allowed in the Society. A person
also required to have PhD in science and have several published
works about UFOs. About a third of all members of the society
are also experienced members of the communist party.

One of Chinese most famous experts in ufology, 66-year-old Sun
Shili, who is also a former diplomat and a translator of Mao
Zedong, has told us about his first encounter with an
unidentified object. It happened in 1971 during the "cultural
revolution" when Sun Shili had been undergoing physical labor at
a correctional facility high up in the mountains of the Tsyansi
province. One day, while working in the rice fields, he spotted
a strange object in the sky. He momentarily thought it was a
real UFO.

Experts from the National Society claim that half of Chinese
residents believe in such phenomenon. Sun Shili explains such
interest in UFOs in China (every fifth UFO appears in this
country) in the following way. He says that China appeals to
aliens the most, due to the country's recent breakthroughs and
its aspiration to become the world's leader.

Aliens used to be interested in the US up until recently.
According to Sun Shili (and his opinion is shared by many in the
National Society) some of the aliens live among us, by turning
into humans.
