Occasionally, strange imagery and other questionable anomalies appear in footage collected by security cameras and other surveillance equipment, due especially to the strange locations and hours those cameras remain in operation. While scanning a series of emails I received recently, someone had forwarded me a link to this odd footage at the website Disclose TV, depicting some sort of abnormal illumination moving about:
Although the footage is labeled (rather sensationally) as “Aliens Caught on Tape in China,” what it appears to depict, in fact, is one of the better instances where the rare and ubiquitous phenomenon known as Ball Lightning has been captured on film. Previously, due to the sporadic nature of this sort of manifestation, it has been seldom filmed or photographed. Is this indeed the identity of the anomaly in the film, or is it something else?
Tonight at 9 EST, the infamous Timothy Green Beckley will appear as a guest on Nick Redfern and his friend Raven’s new show Exploring All Realms.
“I will be discussing my friendship with Uri Geller and the Amazing Randi (arch debunker) and comparing it to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Houdini. Also some recent goodies and a whole bunch of stuff.”
Beckley (otherwise known by his alias “Mr. UFO”) is an expert on a variety of esoteric subjects pertaining to UFO phenomenon and celebrity Americana. Paired alongside the prolific Mr. Redfern and his lovely co-host, this should be quite an event!
According to Chinese officials, a bright flaming object seen near East China’s Zhejiang Province Wednesday evening is creating a stir over flight delays at nearby Xiaoshan International Airport. Air traffic controllers, who reportedly “spotted” the object with flight instruments but were unable to obtain a visual, were concerned about the presence of the UFO, and diverted air traffic from the area to locales in Ningbo and Wuxi.
According to a statement by one airport staff member who remained unidentified, it was confirmed that the object “could not be seen with the naked eye. It had to be spotted with observation devices.”
Residents in nearby areas dispute this, claiming to have seen clearly an object over East China’s Zhejiang Province. Some reports describe a bright fireball moving quickly through the sky, while others refer to a large UFO “hovering” over the area. One UFO enthusiast described seeing a “bright (yellow) spot very high up in the sky around 8 pm.”
An article posted at the English People’s Daily, subsequently linked to the Drudge Report, appeared to have been removed from the site as of this morning. Other links at popular international news site remain, with varying accounts pointing to an official explanation being released later today.
