I'm sure there's a rational explanation for it, but, and I mean no offense, I don't see how that could be a distorted picture of a helicopter. Even a military helicopter, unless it is some uncommonly bizarre design.

Hey, if I'm wrong in the end, I'll gladly admit it.

One thing's for sure -- the film footage does not show a helicopter.

Which would match up with what the article says about it involving the Chinese military.

So, I wonder why a Chinese military chopper was hovering near the airport?

Gee, I don't know. I think that the airport would have been able to identify this object as a helicopter, don't you? I mean, they actually shut down the "airport" which sees all types of "aircraft," therefore, a helicopter doesn't sound likely to me.

Just an observation

I wonder how a "helicopter" could be "unidentified".

I was trying to make that connection myself FOXMULDER147. People come to the most interesting conclusions here on ATS.

I highly doubt that the Airport would shut down their functions for a "Helicopter." But hey, crazier things have happened.

Yes it does. Here's some other long exposures of helicopters.

thank goodness we finally got a pic and some video
thanks

I second the notion that the pic doesn't look like the video
however the pic and the video were shot from different
angles so one might expect the discrepancy.

I also agree that all aircraft should have a transponder
on, even military craft. What seemed most odd to me
was the fact that a ground crew noticed it first before
anybody else including ATC. How could this happen
unless the object did NOT show up on radar. If it does
indeed have stealth capabilities then I very seriously doubt
it is a Chinese Helicopter or it is something we haven't seen
before.

On another note this could be a Chinese Military
False Flag to get the world's attention on one of
their new toys. I highly doubt this is American
made, not over China. It's either Chinese, Russian
or ET.

thanks for the pic, video and story

Well, please go verify this yourselves, but based on data on the earlier thread and a check at heavens-above, an airliner coming in to the airport from the SE would have had Venus right on the horizon directly in front of them -- approx azimuth 285 deg (N of West).

And it could have been low enough that horizon obstructions would have blocked it from viewers on the ground.

The connection of this photo to the original eyewitness report has to be considered tentative at best, for now.

Sounds like Barnaul-2001 all over again. And recall Hynek's warning about pilots being particularly prone to misidentification of celestial objects (opposite to what 'common sense' convenient guessing tells us OUGHT to be true).

The video strongly resembles the apparition over Urumqi in Hsinjiang, taken the evening of June 30, and also widely observed in Central Asian cities such as Bishkek. Was that video on this broadcast identified as the CURRENT event or just handy 'looks like' background video?

Or..... some rocket test, hence the video... it goes wrong and strays off course over civilian airspace. The chopper picture was either the police or the military looking for it..

Are you suggesting that an entire airport shut down operations due to Venus clogging up their airspace? Is that what I'm getting out of this?

Help

So, are we now going with the idea that an entire airport shut down their operations due to an unidentified "helicopter?"

It gets better and better in here.

If you actually read the rest of my post you may notice that i suggested that this picture isn't even a picture of the event. Can you prove that what we see in this picture is the same as what closed down the airport?

Didn't think so.
