Images of an unidentified flying object in Chinese airspace made headlines on social media, according to various Chinese media outlets. However, a science news writer suggested that the UFO could have been military technology—a missile—which could be part of a propaganda ruse to surprise citizens about the Chinese military.
The footage was caught in the early hours of June 2, showing a glowing dot in the sky that appeared to have a long cloudy plume to its side. The image was captured in several provinces near Beijing. Some people commented in their videos that it was a UFO, and some media outlets suggested that it was not the first instances of seeing such an object.
