Weather, terrorist threats--let's face it, airlines already have enough reasons for delays without bringing alien life into the mix. That, however, is seemingly what happened in the Inner Mongolia region of China, when a "flat and tubular" unidentified flying object shut down a major airport.
The UFO caused flights from Beijing and Shanghai to be diverted to other airports. This, according to British tabloid The Sun, is the third time this year that airfields in China have been closed because of unidentified craft.
This time the object was reportedly sighted via the radar screens of air traffic controllers who alerted the airport after failing to make contact with the object. A spokeswoman said of the event, "To guarantee security, aircraft had to land at secondary airports. Otherwise, it may have led to collision."
A space collision, naturally.
