That's the most spaceship looking swamp gas ever!

If it was a high quality video not even HD. It would expose the charade. I do believe there are Aliens out there but none of these UFO claims.
If only someone would shut the crackpots up. They make us all look like fools for thinking that extraterritorial life can actually exist.

First how do you get a forty minute long SOLAR eclipse?
And obviously the alien only appear to east coast folks with cerebral palsy, carrying super eight millimetre cameras.
Citizen: I saw me uh Alien
Mulder: Let's see the evidence of anal probing
Scully: Mulder, check for implants first

But do they know how to use them in a hurry?

Well those film shots were some of the more crisper images I've seen. Too bad the paper didn't use them for stills. Interesting swamp gas.
As an aside I have to say the Chinese are getting very sophisticated ...holy cow. Good for them.

Bishop -- If you're going to report a story, please don't edit the details to make the story sound more dramatic...
The article makes no mention of swamp gas, flocks of geese, temperature inversions, cloud formations, or helium balloons.

Let me be totally honest. This thread was an attempt at humor. Not that I consider UFOs a laughing matter (far from it). I am, however, amused by the various UFO explanations that have been offered up by experts over the years.
That brings us to this thread. I thought it would be funny to post an article and "sanitize" the quoted portion. In place of what the article actually reported, I substituted swamp gas, a flock of geese, temperature inversion, cloud formation and helium balloon. This destroyed the internal consistency of the article, but at least it now had individual sentences that conformed with the prevailing conventional wisdom about UFOs.
Apologies to anyone who hoped for a serious discussion of UFOs. I hope you got a laugh, at least.

Ahhhh! What if the Aliens are using a form of Stealth technology unknown to us, which causes electronic equipment to pick them up as blurry objects! Think of it like the Minbari, and how Earth Force couldn't lock onto their ships

Well, based on the blurry video footage shown there - nothing new and nothing persuasive.
I for one welcome our new blurry overlords.
The universe is so big that no one should ever find us.
So, because the government is hiding "something" you believe that it must be evidence of aliens? There are no other type of secrets you can imagine the government concealing?

I thought there was going to be film footage. I only saw a few blurry photos.
I guess these UFO-Bigfoot-Nessy types will NEVER drop the pretense and admit that it's all FAKE. I guess some people just need the delusions to make their lives interesting...

I'm excited by the possibility there's something extraterrestrial involved in UFO reports, but by no means do I believe that's what's going on. I'd have to see aliens for myself (please don't peek into my windows while I'm alone in the dark) before I'm comfortable with the conclusion.
I have seen two UFOs in my life. The first, was when I was eight years old. I was playing outside my apartment a little after dark when I heard something that sounded like a choir holding a note. When I looked up, I saw a glowing orange ball, about the size of a large beach ball, move along a street to an intersection, then turn onto the cross street, moving right in front of my yard. My response was predictable: I ran into the house, screaming my fool head off.
The second was a few years later. Late one night, I stood out under a starry sky gazing at the Moon through my Meade refractor -- a small telescope with mediocre optics, but sufficient for a twelve year old -- when an hour-glass-shaped silhouette slowly drifted between me and the Moon. I have no idea how big it was, it could have been a small, close, and slow, or it could have been huge, distant, and very fast. There was no sound, and it took between five and ten seconds to transition the lunar disk.
I believe both of these objects to have been artificial, but I don't think they were necessarily extra-terrestrial. In all probability the first was a prank of some sort. The second is curious, but undetailed and worthy of little more than a bemused shrug.
Regarding picture quality: I've taken tens of thousands of photos, a dozen or so are good, half the remainder are acceptable representations of my subjects, and the rest are crap. I've never taken a clean picture of a dragonfly -- a subject that displays itself frequently, but buzzes around and away so quickly that I never get more than a blurry streak. Four weeks ago, while visiting an operational, steam locomotive short line, a fellow flew over in an ultralight airplane. Despite having a decent camera turned on and ready to take pictures, I snapped only three photos; two were out of focus, and the third was a beautiful shot of the roof he flew behind with not a single square centimeter of the ultralight visible any longer.
Look at surveillance camera footage sometime when a crime is reported on the news. Any images of a suspect lifted from such videos is always terribly blurry and hard to identify.
And yet, ultralights and convenience store robbers unquestionably exist. It's simply that such things are common enough elements of our daily lives to prevent us from looking at blurry photos of them with doubts about their legitimacy. But personal experience has taught me that a blurry photo does not imply a faked photo. A blurry photo of a flying saucer might be faked, but it might also be a blurry photo of a flock of geese, a weather balloon, an airplane, or maybe something really, really cool. But I won't dismiss it out of hand just because it's blurry. I'll just sigh and wish we were all better photographers.

That made me chuckle.

Are you sure the sighting is in China? The news was reported in Cantonese, which is more commonly used in Hong Kong and while it is a dialect of Mandarin, Cantonese not a a common news-reporting language in China. Besides, I find it quite unlikely that a Chinese secondary school student can afford a Fuji digital camera when there are much cheaper locally made cameras.
Anyway, here's the translation of the subtitles:
This secondary student was watching the solar eclipse when he saw the object. Initially he did not really pay attention as he thought it was a black plastic trash bag. However not long later, the unknown object made a strange transformation.
Student: It started flashing. I could see with my naked eye that it was giving off pulses of light. I shot its flight until it disappeared. It appeared for about 3 to 4 minutes.
Old lady: It flew upwards till it reached a position beside the sun before turning and flew off in another direction. It flew very quickly, very high
As the unknown object only flew for a short period of time, the student only managed to capture a few snapshots using his digital camera.
Student: I can't imagine what it is. Planes are not black in color. There are not many black planes. That is why I did not think it was an airplane and that is why I captured it on my camera.
Reporter: He used this digital camera to capture images of the unknown object. By enlarging the image on the computer, we can see it is oval shaped. In fact it resembles a saucer.
We followed up with city and state officials on this sighting but they express having no knowledge of this incident.

People. Eyewitness accounts are the LEAST reliable form of evidence in existence. People see things and interpret them in various ways. You cannot conclude that extraterrestrials are visiting Earth based on some blurry photos and eyewitness testimony. If they were smart enough to come here, they'd be smart enough to conceal their presence.
