UFO seen over Beijing, causing buzz

A photo of a UFO over the skies of a busy Beijing street is causing a sensation in China. The image, recalling an earlier era, is a classic flying saucer type, shrouded by a foggy sky.

The story behind the photo seems to be propelling the mania as the Chinese are not generally impressed by pictures and videos of unidentified flying objects.

But an account in a Beijing newspaper of how the object was caught on film is creating tremendous buzz, because, as the photographer claims, it was all an accident of timing and luck.

"This UFO was in Beijing CBD Jingxian. Today I shot it in the morning from the CTS overpass. I was too interested in the traffic and the main road, when I pushed the shutter I actually had a UFO!"

The picture shows what looks to be something straight out of the 1950s, but, because of the spooky, foggy sky and the story behind how it was captured on film, many Chinese citizens have become true believers.

Maybe it's the start of the next revolution?
