“Many westerners are not aware of just how much interest in UFOs there is in China. No less than 300,000 Chinese citizens are members of UFO research organizations”. One of the largest networks of these groups is the UFO Research Association. This is an umbrella group that encompasses numerous branches throughout China including the one in Kunming, headed by retired physics professor Zhang Yifang who has recently received publicity. Another member is Wang Sichao who is also involved in the Purple Mountain Astronomical Observatory, in Nanjing, where a UFO was recently filmed during the recent solar eclipse.

One UFO sighting that the many scientists active within the UFO Research Association are seriously investigating occurred in the town of Nianyang, Sichuan Province. On July 20 of this year at 7 PM numerous members of the public witnessed a classic ‘Walnut’ or ‘Dumpling UFO. A dozen witnesses called the local paper and one witness got a series of photos of the hovering UFO. Mr. Wang noticed it morphing in shape before fading. Investigators are leaning towards declaring this event is genuinely anomalous.

Paul Stonehill writes in 2009 you mentioned Soviet submarines pursued by UFOs. I have been writing about Russian/Soviet/Eurasian USOs and UFOs for years.

“Mysterious Sky: Soviet UFO Phenomenon,” has a chapter concerning Naval officers reports, declassified intelligence files, and my book “The Soviet UFO Files” (1998) is a part of the U.S. Naval Archives library. In August 1965, a crew of the steamship RADUGA, while navigating in the Red Sea, observed a fiery sphere dashed out from under the water two miles away and hovered over the surface of the sea, illuminating it. The sphere was sixty meters in diameter, and it hovered at an altitude of 150 meters. A gigantic pillar of water rose as the sphere emerged from the sea and collapsed some moments later.

In December 1977, not far from the Novy Georgy Island, the crew of the fishing trawler VASILY KISELEV also observed a doughnut-shaped object rising vertically from under the water was. Its diameter was between 300 and 500 meters and it hovered at the altitude of four kilometers. The trawler’s radar station was immediately rendered inoperative. The object hovered over the area for three hours, and then disappeared instantly. Soviet fishing trawlers were outfitted with intelligence gathering equipment and radio intercept equipment.

The testimony of Alexander G. Globa, a seaman from GORI, a Soviet tanker, was published in Zagadki Sfinksa Magazine. In June 1984, GORI was in the Mediterranean, twenty miles from the Straight of Gibraltar. At 16:00, Globa was on duty with Second-in-Command S. Bolotov standing watch when they observed a strange polychromatic object astern. S. Bolotov was agog, shaking his binoculars and shouting: “It is a flying saucer, a real saucer, my God, hurry, hurry, look!” Globa through his own binoculars saw a flattened out looking object that reminded him of an upside-down frying pan. The UFO was gleaming with a grayish metallic shine. The lower portion of the craft had a precise round shape, its diameter no more than twenty meters. Around the lower portion of it Globa also observed “waves” of protuberances on the outside plating.

The base of the object’s body consisted of two semi-discs, the smaller being on top; they slowly revolved in opposing directions. At the circumference of the lower disc Globa saw numerous shining, bright, bead-like lights. The bottom portion of the UFO looked completely even and smooth, its color that of a yolk, and in the middle of it Globa discerned a round, nucleus-like stain. At the edge of the UFO’s bottom, was a pipe that glowed with an unnaturally bright rosy color, like a neon lamp. The top of the middle disc was crowned by a triangular-shaped something. It seemed that it moved in the same direction as the lower disc, but at a much slower pace.

Suddenly, the UFO jumped up several times, as if moved by an invisible wave. Many lights illuminated its bottom portion. The crew of GORI tried to attract the object’s attention using a signal projector. By that time Captain Sokolovky was on the desk with his men. He and his Second-in-Command were watching the object intensely. However, the UFO’s attention was distracted by an Arab dry cargo ship, on its way to Greece. The Arabs confirmed that the object hovered over their ship. A minute and a half later the object changed its flight’s trajectory, listed to the right, gained speed and ascended rapidly. The Soviet seamen observed that when it rose through the clouds, appearing and disappearing again, it would occasional shine in the sun’s rays. The craft then flared up, like a spark, and was gone instantly.
