I want to make it clear from the start that the word UFO has nothing to do with aliens, spaceships or flying saucers. A UFO is simply an unidentified flying object, meaning that even a lost helium balloon that is flying around in the sky can be a UFO.

Below are the UFO photos:

On Wednesday, the object disrupted air traffic in Hangzhou for an hour, resulting in eighteen flights being diverted to other airports. An aviation official has said that “no conclusion has yet been drawn,” so the unidentified flying object remains unidentified.

Of course, the photos have sparked some “OMGITSTHEREALTHING” reactions online, which I believe are completely idiotic. There is simply not enough information available about the object to draw any kind of conclusion, let alone that kind of [lol] conclusion, and I have yet to see a video of it. If it was really that impressive and odd looking someone must have thought about recording it (virtually every phone these days can shoot video).

Anyway, everyone will see what they expect to see, because of the pareidolia effect.

Personally, I think it’s just a flying pancake mix.

Update: found video
