AGAIN: CHINA UFO shuts airport for an hour

The appearance of an unidentified flying object had forced an airport in Baotou in Inner Mongolia to delay the landing of three planes by nearly an hour on Saturday night.

The UFO, the third reported in China so far this year, was seen hovering about four kilometers east of the Baotou airport at 8pm, the online news portal Dbw.cn reported today.

Airport officials immediately called off the landing of three flights from Shanghai and Beijing at 9:14pm out of safety concerns. Another two planes were ordered to land in neighboring Ordos Airport and Taiyuan Airport.

The airport operation went back to normal by 10pm, the report said. But officials gave no further details about the object.
