A newly surfaced video from Beijing, posted on Chinese social media by Tang Xiao, appears to show an unusual cylindrical object floating high above the city’s skyline, reports say www.coasttocoastam.com.
Shot from a moving vehicle, the footage provides a close-up view of the object, showing intermittent illumination, either from lights on the object itself or from the reflection of sunlight on its surface.
The lack of surrounding reference points in the video, a result of Xiao’s close-in filming, makes it challenging to estimate the size and distance of the object.
Speculation surrounding the mysterious sighting has already led to numerous theories, with some interpreting the object as evidence of advanced alien technology, while others suggest a more mundane explanation, such as stray weather or a promotional balloon.
The release of the video comes amid increased global interest in UFOs, now called Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). Recently, official UAP hearings in the United States have brought the topic of unexplained aerial encounters into the mainstream.
U.S. government officials have acknowledged that many sightings of unusual objects remain unexplained, prompting calls for more transparency and rigorous research into the phenomenon.
