On July 7 this year, more than 20 flights were postponed at Xiaoshan International Airport in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, because of a UFO sighting writes Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in its website. Wang Sichao, a research fellow at the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province says that UFO's are much busier than usual. Wang has worked on 40 related sightings for past 40 years ago. Wang now predicts that "great events" concerning UFOs were going to come out in China in the next two years.

In an interview with Beijing Review, he said " First, I'd like to say something about the conception of "great events about UFOs." It does not mean large numbers of UFOs but refers to events of credible facts backed by observation. But these facts cannot yet be explained by existing scientific knowledge or natural phenomena. Through 39 years' investigation and research, I found that in years ending with the numbers 1, 2 or 7 - such as 1971, 1981, 1991, 1982, 1992, 2002, 1977, 1987, 2007 - great UFO events would happen. So, I think 2011 and 2012 will be another two active years."

Wang describes UFO's as bolide, light spot, spiral, fan, bright star, flying rod, ball lightning and V-shaped. and UFO that's appear more often north of the Yangtze River. He also recounts that a V-shaped UFO appeared over Nanjing on January 10, 2006. The researcher says that in last century, there was also something like Close Encounters of the Third Kind in China. He says tht its similar to what happened in other countries, but, lacks evidence.

Wang claimed that he has plenty of credible, verifiable observation reports. As per Wang "China has entered a quantitative analysis stage of study." He say's that he is helped by experienced astronomy amateurs who have lately sprouted in China and has lot's of observational data from them.

He told Beijing Review that "Since 1971, I have been engaged in conducting in-depth investigations and quantitative and semi-quantitative scientific analysis to at least 20 spiral, fan and light-like UFO events. I found many strange flying objects appeared at a speed much lower than first cosmic velocity in the space between 130 km to 1,500 km from the Earth's surface. Some even flew at a speed as low as 0.29 km a second, 4 percent of the first cosmic velocity at the flying height, and flew at the height of around 1,460 km for 25 minutes. The facts show those UFOs may possess anti-gravity ability, or they would have fallen to the Earth.

Wang also says that he has classified more than 100 typical UFO events that occurred in the last 39 years into 10 or so types. He pays more attention to UFO events observed at the same time but from more than two different locations. He says that seven types of these events can be explained through existing natural phenomena and knowledge. it includes objects appearing like bolides, light spots, bright constellations, flying point clusters, bright stars, or flying sticks.

As per Want, he could not explain eight types like spiral-, fan-, spindle-, ball-, or V-shaped objects, or those that look like balls of lightning, strange vehicles or flying saucers, of which spiral-, fan-, light ball- or flying saucer-shaped objects may be related to extraterrestrial craft.
