HILLS ALIVE WITH UFOS Chelsea White

From: The Daily Telegraph

December 07, 2010 8:55AM

Source: The Daily Telegraph

A PROSPECTOR who went to find gold in the hills thinks he may have found something better -

evidence that aliens really do exist.

Adam Cainero believes he captured a photograph of an alien spacecraft hovering above an escarpment nearMajors Creek, in the Southern Tablelands near Braidwood.

After an unsuccessful weekend fossicking for gold Mr Cainero and a friend were making the long trip homewhen he stopped to take a snap of the steep mountain they had driven down.

When he got home, Mr Cainero said he realised he had found gold of another kind after all.

"I just took a picture of the mountain range and the sun was in my eyes so I just kind of pointed and shot,"Mr Cainero said. "Then we looked at the picture - we were, like, no way."

With its shape and its position in the sky, Mr Cainero said he immediately knew the black object was a UFO.

"We always see really weird things as we go out to places where there is no one around," he said.

There had been talk among fossickers about UFOs being in the area, he said. "A lot of people I know who gointo the bush reckon they have seen one," Mr Cainero said.

Earlier this year The Daily Telegraphrevealed the suburbs around Gosford, on the Central Coast, were thestate's biggest hot spot when it came to UFO sightings, with dozens of cases reported every year. Eachmonth people turn up to meetings to share their UFO experiences.

UFO IN CHINA'S SKIES PROMPTS INVESTIGATIONEighteen Flights Delayed, Theories Abound

by MARY HUANG

BEIJING, July 14, 2010

An unidentified flying object (UFO) forced Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, China to cease operations on July7. A flight crew preparing for descent first detected the object around 8:40 p.m. and notified the air trafficcontrol department. Aviation authorities responded within minutes, grounding outbound flights and divertinginbound ones to airports in Ningbo and Wuxi.

Eighteen flights were affected

Though normal operations resumed an hour later, the incident captured the attention of the Chinese mediaand sparked a firestorm of speculation on the UFO's identity.

"It is a hidden U.S. bomber flying toward China," one Internet user wrote on Monday. Another wrote onSunday night, "In my opinion, the UFO is neither a U.S. missile nor a Russian satellite. Suggestions that it isextraterrestrial are even more preposterous. Everyone, use your head. This is clearly a man-madephenomenon. Would the U.S. or Russia risk provoking China's anger by firing a missile or satellite rocket inChinese skies, without warning? I believe the Chinese military is responsible for the UFO. It is a new missile

or aircraft being tested out."

Fueling speculations further, Hangzhou residents released photos, taken in the afternoon before the delays, ofa hovering object bathed in golden light and exhibiting a comet-like tail. Less than an hour before theXiaoshan airport shut down, residents said they also saw a flying object emitting red and white rays of light.

Resident Ma Shijun was taking a nighttime stroll with his wife when he saw the object.

"I felt a beam of light over my head. Looking up, I saw a streak of bright, white light flying across the sky, soI picked up the camera and took the photo. The time was 8:26 p.m. However, whether the object was a plane,or whether it was Xiaoshan Airport's UFO, I don't have a clear answer," Ma told the Xinhua news agency.

The photos taken by Hangzhou residents may be unrelated to the UFO that shut down Xiaoshan Airport.According to Hangzhou meteorological authorities, residents in the afternoon probably saw light reflectingoff of an airplane. As for Ma's nighttime photo, Beijing Planetarium curator Zhu Jing told Xinhua that theobject looks just like a plane shining its strobe lamps.

Investigating the Phenomenon

For now, the UFO's identity remains shrouded in mystery. A spokesman from the Civil AviationAdministration of China (CAAC) confirmed to ABC News that the matter is under investigation. He declinedto disclose further details. A day after the sighting, however, an anonymous source told China Daily thatauthorities already discovered the identity of the UFO afteran investigationbut could not publically disclosethe information because "there was a military connection." An official explanation is expected to be releasedon Friday, the source said.

Today, five researchers from the Beijing UFO Research Society and the Shanghai UFO InvestigativeResearch Center traveled to Hangzhou to study the phenomenon.

"We have several places to visit on our agenda, including the Xiaoshan Airport and the CAAC East ChinaRegional Administration," the director of the Shanghai UFO Investigative Research Center, Lou Jinhong,told ABC News. "I cannot offer an opinion on this case, because we have not yet collected all the relevantdocuments and data. It's not clear how long the investigation will take."

The Hangzhou incident comes after a string of recent UFO sightings in China. On June 30, residents inXinjiang province saw a flying object bathed in a fan of white light. Sightings have also been reported inHunan, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces.

I'm not saying there were aliens flying whatever buzzed Hangzhou airspace earlier today. But there's no

question that it was an object, that it was flying, and that it's as yet unidentified. And yet it looks awfullyfamiliar up close:

Alien spacecraft? Or an intergalactic iPhone 4 in a giant red bumper?After the UFO was detected at 9pm, dozens of inbound flights to nearby Xiaoshan Airport were diverted.Explanations have so far ranged from "sunlight reflected from planes" to military trials to, but there's noofficial statement yet from the Chinese government.
