Flights diverted, delayed as UFO detected hovering
An unidentified flying object (UFO) disrupted air traffic over Zhejiang's provincial capital Hangzhou late on Wednesday, the municipal government said on Thursday.
Xiaoshan Airport was closed after the UFO was detected at around 9 pm, and some flights were rerouted to airports in the cities of Ningbo and Wuxi , said an airport spokesman, who declined to be named.
The airport had resumed operations, and more details will be released after an investigation, he said.
A source with knowledge of the matter, however, told China Daily on Thursday that authorities had learned what the UFO was after an investigation.
But it was not the proper time to publicly disclose the information because there was a military connection, he said, adding that an official explanation is expected to be given on Friday.
Inbound flights were diverted to the nearby airports in Zhejiang province's Ningbo and Jiangsu province's Wuxi. Outbound flights were delayed for three to four hours.
A staff member at the airport's information desk said the airport had "no idea" how many flights were affected by the closure.
At around 11 pm on Wednesday, a netizen wrote three entries announcing the airport's closure in
his microblog at Sina.com, but they were all soon deleted.
He posted an apology at midnight, saying the news had not been confirmed and asking those who had republished his earlier entries to delete them.

Ok so by looking at all the threads on here we can establish that the photo posted on the first page does indeed look like an over exposed helicopter. However, the image in the video looks completely different to the image on the first page. Therefore, my conspiritorial radar goes mad and I am thinking that the video and the photo are not related and could well be a smoke screen to divert us from the truth. Which IMHO is that the government were testing something that they don't want anyone to know about.
Whether thats ET hybrid tech, thats another topic.

I think we all are confirming that there is NO HELICOPTER in that photo. We agree its not a helicopter.
Since its confirmed to NOT BE A HELICOPTER
we can now find a better explanation.

Edit to add -
If you honestly believe that a helicopter would shut down an airport for more than 4 hours then there is no hope for you. By agreeing to this crazy notion you are insulting the air traffic controllers whose job it is to distinguish the difference between such craft so that everyone can take off and land safely
