UFO Disrupts Chinese Traffic
Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have been the subject of fascination, controversy and disdain for many years. Almost every culture known to mankind at different periods in history has experienced and recorded the presence of strange unknown objects in the sky.

Even though 95% of all UFO reports are proven to be fallacious, every now and then there is the report of a sighting that sends a few shivers up and down even the most conservative spines.
Such an occurrence happened last month (July 7th) when a UFO disrupted air traffic over Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, the capital city of east China's Zhejiang Province.
All outbound fights were suspended after air traffic controllers spotted the fiery object skimming across the sky. The municipal government abruptly closed the airport, pending an investigation into the matter.
The UFO was detected in the sky about 9pm, causing flights to be re-routed to other airports in Ningbo and Wuxi cities.
The Chinese Internet lit up with possible theories concerning the identity and purpose of this strange object. They ranged from a hoax incurred by the US to an actual planetary invasion.
The airport soon resumed normal activities, but something lingered that altered the texture of everyday life and it is still there, hanging like an invisible cloud over conventional thoughts and understanding.
To date, there has been no public statement concerning the resolution of any investigation or scientific inquiry.
What WAS it?
Authorities claim the matter is still under investigation, but the reality is that:
No one knows.
Only THEY know, which is not exactly the most comforting of thoughts.

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its full
capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not mean that I
agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL" means that I believe
it is important for the people of this planet to know about what people think or
do, even when what they think or do is completely stupid and against our
philosophy. When I selected articles in the past about stupid Christian
fundamentalists in America praying for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader
was stupid enough to believe that I was supporting praying to change the
weather. So, when I select articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-semitic,
anti-Jewish, racist, revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group or
religion, or any other stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It
just means that it is important for all human beings to know about them. Common
sense, which is usually very good among our readers, is good enough to
understand that. When, like in the recent articles on drug decriminalization, it
is necessary to make it clearer, I add a comment, which in this case was very
clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs, as it is stupid to throw depressed
and sad people (as only depressed and sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin
their life with a criminal record. That does not mean that there is any change
to the Message which says clearly that we must not use any drug except for
medical purposes. The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be
absolute. That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews,
antisemites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your enemies
or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight them. With love
and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence of the French philosopher
Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death
your right to say it".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history,
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
