UFO sighting in Shanghai and Beijing
A halo in the sky can be seen in this file photo, taken by a netizen named Chen Xu in Beijing on August 20, 2011.
A huge illuminant unidentified flying object (UFO) was reported by multiple airliner pilots in the sky above Shanghai, the Oriental Morning Post reported Tuesday.
The pilot of airliner CZ6554 said on his micro blog that a huge spherical illuminant was seen in the sky, 10,700 meters above Shanghai at 9 pm on August 20. “The luminant was really round and getting huger, (looks) hundreds times bigger than the moon and the diameter of the luminant was longer than 50 sea miles,” the pilot said on his micro blog.
The pilot said the aircrew of more than ten other airliners flying above Shanghai also reported the illuminant object, one by one.
The Air Traffic Management Bureau East China also confirmed the reports on Monday.
At almost the same time, a halo in the sky above Beijing was seen by local people.
A netizen named Chen Xu published a photo of the halo on his micro blog.
Chen said the halo was small at first, then expanded, moved north, and disappeared several minutes later.
The UFO reports follow another report from Southwest China's Chongqing municipality three days before August 20. A UFO was seen above the landing route of the city's airport, forcing two planes to land in Guiyang of Guizhou province and Xi'an of Shaanxi province, respectively.

Airline pilots claim sighting a UFO hundreds of times larger than the moon above Shanghai
23 August, 2011 Saturday's UFO was reportedly so massive that it was seen in Shanghai and Beijing at the same time. [This artist's rendering is not of the UFO in question.].An unidentified flying object (UFO) was reported above Shanghai and Beijing at the same time on August 20.
The “colossal unidentified glowing ball” was first sighted around 9 p.m. last Saturday above Shanghai by a Chinese civil aviation pilot flying China Southern Airlines flight CZ655 from Shanghai to Changchun.
The pilot, nicknamed “The girl-picking mushroom 168” (采姑娘的小蘑菇168) on the Internet, reported the incident via Sina Weibo and described it as a shocking experience.
“[The object] expanded from small to large and was spherical in shape. It was hundreds of times larger than the moon and its diameter seemed to reach 50 sea miles (92.6 kilometers),” the pilot wrote on Weibo.
The pilot added that the UFO faded gradually after hovering above Shanghai for about 20 minutes.
“The girl-picking mushroom 168” was not the only one to spot the UFO. According to the East China Air Traffic Control Bureau, its air control department received reports from several pilots on August 20 about the UFO.
“Based on their descriptions, the glowing object was far away from the airplanes and posed no danger to flight safety and civil aviation,” East China Air Traffic Control Bureau told the press.
No flights were affected by the UFO in Shanghai.
Some 1,500 kilometers north of Shanghai, several amateur astronomers said they spotted a “bubble-like object” above the suburbs of Beijing during a star-gazing event around the same time on August 20, Xinhuanet.com reported.
Ma Jing, an engineer with the National Astronomical Observatories, told Shanghai Daily that he took a set of pictures showing the object rise from the west like an "expanding round white cloud," but that the object disappeared several minutes later. See Ma's UFO shot here.
An anonymous expert from Shanghai UFO Research Center said that the UFO could be the fragment of a satellite launched by Russia two days earlier.
China News Service reported that a Russian communications satellite, the Express-AM4, disappeared after takeoff on the morning of August 18.
Consecutive UFO sightings were reported last year in Hangzhou and Chongqing.

Mystery of glowing white ball in the sky
A HUGE glowing UFO hovering high above Shanghai at around 9pm on Saturday was spotted by several civil aviation pilots who reported the sightings to the East China Air Traffic Control Bureau.
A bureau official surnamed Jiang confirmed yesterday that they had received reports from several pilots. No flights were affected but he refused to disclose more details.
The unidentified flying object was 10,700 meters above Shanghai, and it grew bigger and bigger as time passed, a man who claimed he was a pilot on "Flight 6554" wrote on his microblog.
"The huge white ball suddenly appears in the sky when the airplane climbed out of thick clouds," he wrote. "It was several hundred times bigger than the moon, and human eyes can observe."
He said the object reached a diameter of at least 92 kilometers. About 20 minutes later, the shining ball became darker and gradually disappeared, he said.
"At first I thought it was just an illusion, but the copilot said he saw the same scene too," he said, "At least 10 pilots reported the object to the air control traffic bureau."
Meanwhile, people in Beijing reported seeing the object in the sky above the capital about the same time as the Shanghai sightings.
"The white round bubble appears in the sky and then expanded quickly, until it disappeared five minutes later," said Yu Jun, a former editor of a scientific magazine and amateur astronomer who took pictures of the object.
"I believe the glowing bubble is not just a natural astronomical phenomenon, but is a phenomenon occurring around Earth, perhaps in the upper atmosphere, caused by the launching of rockets or satellites," said Yu.
Ma Jing, an engineer with the National Astronomical Observatories, said he took a set of pictures showing the object rise from the west like an "expanding round white cloud" but disappeared only several minutes later.
Zhan Xiang, an official with the Beijing Planetarium, said the "bubble might be caused by the substances emitted by military devices or satellites."
Some amateur astronomers said the object might have something to do with a satellite that had gone missing. China News Service reported that a Russian communications satellite, the Express-AM4, disappeared after takeoff early on Thursday morning.
