Something Ballistic in China

Could this be the anti-ship ballistic missile test? Be sure and click the link for pictures.

A Chinese airport was closed after this mysterious object was spotted in the sky.

Arcing over Zhejiang's provincial capital Hangzhou, the UFO appeared to glow with an eerie white light and left a bright trail in its wake.

Xiaoshan Airport was closed after the UFO was detected at around 9 pm and dozens of flights had to be diverted.

This is what sounds like a two stage missile to me, where one would see the separation effect off the setting sun.

The object, glowing in golden light, was moving slowly toward the ground dragging a comet-like tail, said a city bus driver surnamed Yu. It changed track after moving downwards for about six minutes.

"The thing suddenly ran westwards fast, like it was escaping from something," Yu said.

The location is what has me thinking this could potentially be the anti-ship ballistic missile test. Now there is an update.

Some Chinese experts claimed that the strange sight was actually debris from a US intercontinental ballistic missile.

Chinese officials later said that they knew what the object had been but were unable to make it public because there was a 'military connection.'

An official statement is expected later today.

I don't buy the US ICBM theory none. Raise your hand if you believe President Obama, or Robert Gates for that matter, authorized an intercontinental ballistic missile test over China - just south of Shanghai. To me that is even more unbelievable than it being an actual out of this world UFO. DF-21D debris would look like US ballistic missile debris though - since it basically rooted in the same technology.

If this was the anticipated anti-ship ballistic missile test many observers have been watching for, then things could get very interesting on Monday. It could be that the missile stage separation failed, which is why the missile went streaking off to the west.
