Five-member team investigates airport shut down by UFO

Researchers from the Beijing UFO Research Association and the Shanghai UFO Research Center recently assembled a five-member team to investigate the UFO incident at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport on July 7, 2010 which shut down flight operations for an hour.

Secretary-General of the Beijing UFO Research Association, Zhou Xiaoqiang, who is leading the joint Beijing-Shanghai research team now in Hangzhou, advised that as of this time they have not been able to obtain air traffic control radar data from the incident. Zhou Xiaoqiang also advised that according to the Civil Aviation Branch of East China Air Traffic Management Bureau of Zhejiang, the air traffic control radars did not detect the UFO. Zhou Xiaoqiang was told that the radars are only able to detect standard aircraft, therefore they would be unable to detect stealth-type aircraft.

Zhou Xiaoqiang confirmed that the UFO video footage that the media used for their reports on the incident were not from the night of the actual incident and said that a photograph from Mr. Ma allegedly showing the UFO did not show the airport within same photo, therefore it cannot be confirmed.

In addition to their work at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport, the research team have also visited many other aviation-related facilities including the Civil Aviation Safety Supervision and Administration of Zhejiang but have been refused relevant information.

Zhou Xiaoqiang said the purpose of the visit to Hangzhou is to gather first-hand material for analysis. "Lack of raw data makes it too difficult to analyze and judge." he said.
