Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou City, China, closed after they spotted an UFO with strange light appeared to glow as it swept through the night sky. The incident was happened on Wednesday at around 9pm; inbound flights were diverted away from Xiaoshan Airport to nearby airports while outbound flights were delayed for three to four hours.

Arcing over Zhejiang’s provincial capital Hangzhou, the UFO appeared to glow with an eerie white light and left a bright trail in its wake.

Stunned witnesses reported seeing a comet-like fireball in the sky and a number of local residents took photos of the strange ball of light.

A local bus driver, giving his name only as Yu, said he had seen a strange glowing object in the sky late on Wednesday afternoon.

‘The thing suddenly ran westwards fast, like it was escaping from something,’ he said.

This is another photo of the UFO from a different angle which shows a wide trail behind the object as it zips through the sky.
