A MAJOR airport was forced to shut down to prevent packed passenger jets crashing into a UFO.

The "flat and tubular" object hovered two miles from Bootee in Inner Mongolia, a part of China.

Astonished officials say it then zoomed in to circle the airport before suddenly vanishing.

Three flights from Chinese cities Beijing and Shanghai were diverted to nearby airports.

It is the THIRD mysterious UFO sighting this year to have resulted in Chinese airfields being closed.

Xiaoshan, in Zhejiang province, shut for a few days in July after an "oddly-shaped, twinkling bright light" was seen nearby. Another scare was reported earlier in the summer at Hong Kong.

The latest UFO was spotted by air traffic controllers in Inner Mongolia's capital Hoot on radar screens. But they could not make radio contact with it and immediately warned Bootee.

A spokeswoman said: "To guarantee security, aircraft had to land at secondary airports. Otherwise, it may have led to collision."

The airport was closed for around an hour last month.

The Chinese authorities have refused to comment but some experts believe the three sightings could be evidence of a new Chinese military aircraft.

Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO investigator, said: "Whatever you think about UFOs there are serious national security and air safety issues involved."

HONG KONG -- Authorities are investigating after two UFO sightings were reported in China in the past two weeks.

According to state media, the first took place over an airport in eastern China.

People reported seeing unusual twinkling lights late in the evening above the terminal. Some flights were canceled or re-routed.


Soon after, the Shanghai Daily News reported a sighting over the city of Chongqing.

Witnesses said they saw four lantern-like objects form a diamond shape, hover and fly out of sight.

Images of the UFOs have popped up everywhere online, and one MIT weapons analyst said the objects could depict the launch of a Chinese ballistic missile.

Others have speculated they could be rocket flares or private aircraft.

Two other flights were diverted away to nearby cities.Related Articles
