As early as 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, there was a legend of "flying car" in China, and later there were descriptions or metaphors of this phenomenon such as "red dragon", "wheel", "urn" and "jar" similar to modern witnesses.
In addition to folklore, there are also a large number of records in ancient books, such as Zhuangzi, Essays, Meng Qian's Notes, Zi Zhi Tong Jian, Twenty-four History, Shan Hai Jing and so on. In addition, in many local chronicles, there are abundant records of this kind of anecdote, and the case similar to the so-called "third kind of intimate contact" is also recorded in Songzi County Records of Hubei Province.
Su Dongpo, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, once described his personal experience in a poem, which said, "... the river is like a torch, and the flame shines on tits ..."
Su Dongpo visited the Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang in the evening on his way to Hangzhou. At that time, the black star was sparse, and a fire suddenly burst into the river. Su Dongpo was deeply puzzled by this adventure, so he recorded this scene in the poem "You Jinshan Temple", "Jiang Yue was born, and it was even darker. The river is like a torch, and the flying flame shines on the birds in the mountains. I don't know what I am doing when I am disappointed. What is not a ghost or a person? "
Shen Kuo, a scientist in Song Dynasty, often used the theory of "Earth" to explain UFO phenomenon. He once recorded the incident of unknown illuminators in Meng Qian Bi Tan, Volume 2 1. "Lu Zhongfu's home is in Wuzhong. When the smell is not clear, there is a bright lamp under the wall column. Just look at it and move like water. It's too urgent. Shake it in the fan with an oiled paper fan, just like a watermark, but the flame is very bright, and it's nothing to use a candle. It is also very common in Wei Zhu's home. Li Yong ying's evaluation is no different from Guanzhong's. I don't know the difference. "
The description of "spiral plane" appeared in the Ming Dynasty.
According to Zhang, a researcher at Yunnan Astronomical Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences, it was recorded in the Records of Chaozhou County in Guangdong during the Qianlong period that on the third night of December in the fifth year of Wanli, the tail star was spinning like a wheel, and the fire went up to the sky, and then it went out.
This record is a typical record of ancient spiral aircraft, and it is a strong negative evidence that some people regard spiral aircraft only as modern, and even infer this phenomenon as the explanation of satellite rocket wreckage falling. The shape of the spiral aircraft that people see today is "the tail star rotates like a wheel" in ancient records, and there are many similar records.
The painter's "Red Flame Flying" in Qing Dynasty is a detailed and vivid UFO witness report.
Wu, a painter in Qing Dynasty, works in his later years. There is a picture of "red flames flying". The picture shows pedestrians on the Suzaku Bridge in Nanjing, looking up at the sky and scrambling to watch the flickering flames. The painter wrote an inscription on the top of the painting:' At 8 o'clock in the evening of September 28th, south of Jinling (now Nanjing), I suddenly saw a fireball, which was like a giant egg from west to east, red and dull, floating in the air, and its movement was very slow. When clouds cover the sky, it is dark. Looking up, you can clearly see that there are more than a hundred people standing on the Suzaku Bridge. About a meal, the commitment gradually decreases. There are also those called meteors crossing the border, but the stars are flying and fleeting. This ball is near and far, and there is nothing. If it stagnates, Xing Chi won't know. It is said that children put up lanterns because the night storm blows to the north and the ball turns to the east, which is unknown. Many people, poor speculation. There is a cloud, which is faintly audible at first, and does not listen to it from the south gate. "Hey, it's different!"
A Qing Wu Ruyou's "Red Flame Flying" is a detailed and vivid witness report. The time, place, number of witnesses, size, color, luminous intensity and flight speed of the fireball passing through Nanjing are clearly described, but all kinds of speculations are unclear. This painting was painted by 1892 (18th year of Guangxu). 100 years ago, there were no UFOs and UFOs in the world. Obviously, the painter failed to realize that this painting "Flying in the Red Flame" has become a precious historical material for people to study flying saucers.
In the Republic of China, some people saw a "round light" in the air, and everyone was dazzled.
Zhang Ruichu, a native of the Republic of China, once recorded in the "Western God Heritage": "It is night, full of stars, but there is no moonlight. Everyone was on a dangerous beach when they caught a glimpse of a round light in the sky, which might be as big as an acre. There are two colors in the round lamp, one is purple and the other is white. Before, one retreated, one shrank and one rose, and everyone was dazzled. After another five minutes, the white light disappeared, and only the purple light gradually narrowed into a round light, first like a basket, then like a bucket, like a bowl, like a fist, like a finger, and suddenly disappeared. Everyone sat still and watched, and other tourists were amazed and talked about it. "
Especially in recent years, the media's pursuit has made more UFO mysteries appear in public.
In recent years, UFO sightings have often occurred in mainland China, and people have different opinions about it.
1994165438+1On October 30th, a three-kilometer-long forest in Xi Du Forest Farm in the northern suburb of Guiyang City suddenly broke at the same height overnight. Witnesses described that there was a strong light in the sky and a rumbling noise like a train was heard.
On July 26th, 1995, over Fuxin city, Liaoning province 12 people claimed to have witnessed a UFO the size of a washbasin, moving in the air with a cloud-like halo. On the same day, UFOs were also found over four counties in western Guangxi, with a diameter of about two meters. The whole shape is like a crescent moon holding the sun with a fan-shaped halo.
