The story is all over Xinhua net. its merely retold in Allnewsweb in English-it might be one of the most massive UFO stories around-and hey....you didnt break the story did you? So perhaps you can give credit where due!

For those that blindly follow what they read without applying logic, here is a breakdown of Michael Cohens' journalistic genius.

'Recently All News Web published this ground-breaking article revealing the Chengdu Military Zone as China’s ‘Area 51’.
Now further information has been revealed to confirm this to be the case. An event that might well leave UFO researchers pinching themselves has come to light. High strangeness would be the correct term to describe what appears to be a bizarre co-incidence. An incident that almost entirely mirrors the Roswell crash has been unearthed as happening in 1947 on 18 July in Chengdu!'

If anyone chose too read the 'ground-breaking article' which didn't reveal anything about China's 'Area51' but instead suggested that because there where military jets (SU-27's) conducting exercises at an Air Force base, then there must be a connection between the military and UFO's.
But then again I can see how Michael could come up with that correlation between events, because what happened on a farm in China, on the 18th of July in 1947 almost 'entirely mirrors the Roswell crash' (2nd of July in 1942). Even though there are two years between the two events, some similarities remain; It happened in the same month (July) and a farmer was involved, the weather balloon will be mentioned soon.

'On July 18th 1947 a farmer near Chengdu found unusual remains of what appeared to be a crashed flying saucer or UFO in the fields. News spread and locals congregated to see the bizarre UFO wreckage. The head of the Physics department of the local university, Professor Zeng Zhanhan, was asked to analyse the wreckage along with other experts and a report was written up. The object was declared a UFO.'

Why did the farmer need the expert too come and look at it? According to Michael, the farmer 'found unusual remains of what appeared to be a crashed flying saucer or UFO' on his farm. But then again we all need an expert to say 'Yep, that's a UFO.' unless it WAS a weather balloon, would the farmer know what a weather balloon looked like, considering it was 1947?

'At this point the military and the police force stepped in and informed the academics that the wreckage was merely a weather balloon. Professor Zeng Zhanhan was then ‘asked’ to retract his analysis and confirm the object to be a weather balloon.'

The farmer didn't know what it was, the Professor didn't know what it was (though apparently declared it was a UFO but not specificaly an Alien craft).
The military knew what it was; A weather balloon.

'The US military was stationed at the time in Chengdu and it is believed they were involved in this cover-up.'

Though there haven't been any official statements made in regard to the involvement of the US Military, we should all just accept speculation and rumour and assume that they were involved, besides it just adds substance too the story (and that's what the US Military does), doesn't it?

'The farmer, other witnesses and the professor were never satisfied with the ‘weather balloon’ theory.'

Why not?

'Rumours still persist that it was a UFO of alien origin. Since then numerous UFO sightings have taken place in Chengdu.
The parallels with the Roswell are obviously striking if not almost unbelievable and will provide Ufologists food for thought for years to come.'

Why would it be a rumour if the weather balloon theory wasn't valid?

I thought that this information comes from declassified files?

Where are the files?

Links?

Michael Cohen, he must thank God for the internet.

Thanks go to the OP for reminding me why I stay away from that site and ANYTHING that Michael Cohen writes.

Don't you get it? China wants people to think it's the new global leader/ Super power so they need their own Roswell.

未解疑案

“飞碟”后来不知去向

但是报告中并没有提到“飞碟”是否有专注文字，只标明是美军所有。而且据资料记载，在李巡官查实之前，四川 省会警察局局长刘崇朴已将此事提前呈报给了重庆行辕，行辕电报的回复是“备案待查”。

这一切不禁让人心生疑虑：中和场的那位农夫并不知道所捡物体为何物，是川大的物理学教授赋予了它一个说法。 但是，当具有权威性的鉴定出炉时，警方却突然对此予以了否定，使“飞碟”瞬间变成了美军的“高空气象测量器 ”。

是不是当局已将此事通报给了美军，并受美军的授意，由这位李巡官出面有意把它说成是美国军用品，进而掩饰公 众的注意力呢？而且所谓的“高空气象测量器”，也就是最先说成“飞碟”的物体，也不知了去向，所有关于最早 飞碟的传说就这样不了了之，成了一桩至今尚未解开的疑案。

That's what I was thinking too. What is the evidence this UFO incident actually occurred ? I mean there were newspaper headlines when the Roswell saucer was recovered. Is there any type of evidence like that ? I'm assuming all the principles involved are deceased.

Sorry I don't read Mandarin.

From what I've read though, UFOs don't have the same stigma in China as in the US.

If it werent for the fact that in 1947 china was embroiled in a bloody civil war, I might lend some creadence to the story.
In 1947 there was no governmental apparatus in place to intiate a cover up.
Tha nationalist goverenment had lost control of the country side and the communists werent in total control yet.
If the communists had found such a thing they would surely have taken advantage of the PR value of such an incident,
"Heroic commrades of the Peoples Liberation Army have defeated the Imperialist aggressor foriegn devils and their flying machine"
would have been plastered on leaflets and in propoganda films and the like.

Besides what would have drawn the aliens to china in 1947.
China was years behind the rest of the world at the time, 99% of its people were poor peasants that had been living the same way for centuries. While the US had become an industrial giant during the 2nd wolrd war.
Relatively speaking in 1947 china was in the dark ages compared to the rest of the world. A condition that persisted largely until the early nineties.
Peasants still tilled the soil by hand, as most still do in china, there was no industry to speak of in china in 1947.

Compare that to the us in 1947, the US was an industrial superpower, with huge factories churning out goods and services that reached all parts of the world.
We had been testing atomic bombs and had several reactors cooking along for a few years by that time. Radio and radars had been lighting up the EM spectrum for years from the US.
It t just makes sense that if aliens were observing us then they would be attracted to the culture that displayed the most advanced deveolpment.
Lets say your driving down a road youve never been on and you a fork in the road, one fork goes to a dilapidated old shanty town where the residents are all trying to kill each other and the other fork goes to a shiny new metropolis with flying machines and its residents are peacfully working together to a common good.
Which community would you choose to visit?

If the date of said encounter was later, say in the fifities or better yet during the cutural revolution I would accept it as a possibility.
