Did An Extraterrestrial Spacecraft Land In Ancient China? Remarkable UFO Accounts From The Past
Did An Extraterrestrial Spacecraft Land In Ancient China?
Remarkable UFO Accounts From The Past
We have previously seen that flying objects were frequently present in the ancient skies worldwide.
MessageToEagle.com - There was certainly no lack of UFO sightings in ancient China. In fact, there are many remarkable ancient documented accounts of strange otherworldly flying craft witnessed by hundreds of people, as well as landing of an extraterrestrial craft described by a credible and respected scientist.
This time we will focus our attention on what kind of flying objects the ancient Chinese witnessed.
The Chinese believe their earliest ancestors came down from the Moon to establish their Celestial Empire on Earth.
Very long time ago, certainly, a thousand years before Christ, the so-called sui sing globes landed on Earth. The globes were luminous and occupied by all-powerful beings, and as the Chinese use to say “from antiquity until our own days we cannot count all sui sing which have descended.”
The chapter 8 of a very ancient manuscript called Huai-nan-tsu, describes an idyllic Age, when all living creatures on Earth, men and animals lived in peace and harmony. During this time, the manuscript says, “spirits came frequently to the people of earth, to teach the wisdom of the gods”.
In the book, China’s Major Mysteries, author Paul Dong offers a number of interesting stories that describe how people we confronted with advanced flying craft from outer space.
These accounts are fascinating and many of them can be compared to modern UFO sightings. (Peeping on the Sky), a text that can be traced to the Tang Dynasty (618-907) there is curious account of an ancient celestial ship.
| It is written that “in the Tang Dynasty a celestial ship, over fifty feet long, was found and placed in the Ling De Hall.
The ship gave out a metallic sound when struck, and was of very hard material which was rustproof. Li Deyu, the Tang Prime Minister, cut over a foot of a slender long stick of the ship and carved it into a figure of a Taoist priest. The Taoist figurine flew away and the returned. In the years of Emperor Daoming, the figurine disappeared and the ship flew away.” |
So, what exactly happened during the period of the Tang Dynasty?
“Judging this account in light of modern scientific knowledge, the so-called celestial ship may well have been either a spaceship carrying a visitor from outer space or an instrument of exploration under remote control. ‘It gave out a metallic sound when struck and was of very hard material which was rust proof’ apparently indicates that it was made of a high quality substance.
The slender long stick would seem to be an appurtenant instrument. Notice that when dismantled and carved into a figure, it could also ‘fly away and return again’. This seems to suggest that it was carrying a out some kind of survey under remote control. In the year 800, in the reign of Emperor Guangming, the spaceship appeared to have concluded its mission of investigation and so left,” Dong speculates in his book.
Yet another intriguing ancient UFO sighting was witnessed by hundreds of people including Wu Youru of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), a famous painter who a created a work titled “Red Flames in the Sky,” also translated as “Red Hot Flame Hovers in the Air.”
The painting “Red Hot Flame Hovers in the Air” by Wu Youru, 1892.
This intriguing painting described a UFO sighting witnessed by the painter himself as well as hundreds of passersby. Wu anticipated skeptics would doubt this fantastic phenomenon, so he explained why each of the various explanations one might provide to bring this otherworldly experience down to Earth. A translation of the 190-character description is also provided by Paul Dong in his book “China’s Major Mysteries”:
“It was about eight o’clock in the evening, September 28. In the southern sky of Nanking City appeared a fireball, egg-shaped, red without light. It floated in the air, slowly eastward. As the twilight sky was cloudy and dusky, its appearance was conspicuous. And on the Zhu-Que Bridge gathered a crowd of several hundreds, standing on tip-toe, craning their necks upward.
“It lingered for a period of a meal’s time, fading into the distance little by little. Some said it was a meteor passing by. But a meteor took but an instant to slip away, while this ball’s movement, from its first appearance in the near sky to the final disappearance in the distance, was quite stagnant. So it cannot be a meteor.
“Others said it was a lantern-kite that children flew. But the wind blew north that evening, while the ball turned eastward. So it cannot be a lantern-kite either. For a time everybody spoke, but none could solve the mystery.
“An old man said, ‘When it first arose, there was a slight noise which was hardly audible, like the buzzing approach of men darting across the South Gate.’”
In 1979, Professor Zhang Longqiao of the Chinese department of Peking Teachers College published an article entitled “Could it be that a visitor from outer space visited ancient China long long ago?”
When studying the ancient book Meng Qi Bi Tan (Essays of the Meng Hall) by Shen Jua of the Song Dynasty (960-1127) came across an intriguing story that led him to consider the possibility a spacecraft landed in ancient China somewhere near Yangzhou.
According to an account given under “Strange Happenings” a chapter of of the Meng Qi Bi Tan “in the years of Emperor Jiayou (1056-1064), a UFO as bright as a pearl often made its appearance over the prospering city of Yangzhou of Jiangsu Province, particularly at night.
At first the object was seen on a lake in Tienzhang County in eastern Anhui and later on the Pishe Lake northwest of Gaoyou County in Jiangsu. Subsequently it was often seen by the local inhabitant near the Xinkai Lake.
One night, a man living by the lakeside found a shining pearl close by whil studying outdoors. The object opened its door and a flood of intense light like sunbeams darted out of it, then the outer shell opened up, appearing as large as a bed with a big pearl the size of a fist illuminating the interior in silvery white. The intense silver-white color light , shot from the interior, was too strong for human eyes to behold; it cast shadows of every tree within a radius of ten miles. The spectacle was like a rising sun, lightning up the distant sky and woods in red. Then all of a sudden, the object took off at a tremendous speed and descended upon the lake like a setting sun.
Yibo, a poet of Gaoyou and a frequent eyewitness of the moonlike pearl, wrote a poem about it, but after some years the moonlike pearl disappeared.
As the pearl often made its appearance in the town of Fanliang in Yangzhou, the local inhabitants, who had seen it frequently, built a wayside pavilion and named it “The Pearl Pavilion.” Inquisitive people often came from afar by boat, waiting for a chance to see the unpredictable pearl.”
Based on this astonishing description of the object, Professor Zhang Longqiao concluded that an ancient spacecraft had landed in China.
Shen Kua was respected scientist in ancient China.
The credibility of Shen Kua also supports Zhang Longqiao’s theory. Shen Kua was celebrated scientists in ancient China. He made outstanding contributions in the fields of astronomy, mathematics, physics, geology and medicine. As “Imperial Astronomer”, he had taken part in astronomical observations and calendar making. He spent three months observing and locating the position of the Polaris with his self-made instrument, the “peeping tube.” He was able to plot the position of the Polaris as observed in early, mid, and late nights on graph. After a careful study of more than two hundred graphs he had drawn, he concluded that Polaris was three degrees off the North Pole – a conclusion that modern science support.
It is very difficult to image that a serious scientist like Shen Kua made up his UFO story. If we assume he was telling the truth, then this account clearly described the landing of a UFO on ancient Chinese soil. Then again, it would not be the first one. About 12,000 years ago an extraterrestrial spacecraft crashed in China. It’s an event we today we remember as the story of the Dropa Stones, and it is one of the most covered-up stories in the history of extraterrestrial-human interaction.
In more recent times, a rare petroglyph was discovered in a remote, almost inaccessible area of the Huoyaogang Hill, near Silun Town, Guangdong Province, in southwest China.
According to Chen Dayuan, former director of the museum in Luoding, the carved being could represent an alien visiting our planet.
