On the evening of September 1, many people in Xi 'an witnessed several light spots in the night sky moving according to a certain rule, shaped like a "dragon", which lasted about an hour.
At about 9:10 that night, the reporter saw that 8 to 9 white spots appeared in the southwest sky of Xi 'an, divided into three groups, each group did circular motion, they "draw" the same diameter of the circle, running in the opposite direction, and the relative position of the three groups of spots was "product" shape. At about 9:15 p.m., the light spots split into two strands, moving opposite each other, like the letter "X". After about 5 seconds, many light spots gather in one place, the brightness increases about twice, and then the light spots spread out and repeat the above movement again. Between the gray clouds, specks of light flit back and forth, each trailing something behind it. "It's just a dragon!" There were gasps of amazement from onlookers.
Many readers have also seen this scene. "There was a mass of things that kept moving, about 100 square meters, not like clouds or lights," said Jiang at the south exit of Biandong Street. "There were eight white ball objects moving back and forth over Bienga village," Mr Shang said. "There was a cloud-like object over the southern suburb of Normal University. It was shaped like a dragon," said Ms Chen. "The mobile phone could not take a clear picture."
Netizen "tohmhmhmhm" said: "I was in the Mijiaqiao community saw, more than 20 gathered together, is luminous."
According to statistics, including the western suburbs of Xi 'an, the southern suburbs, Chunhua county and Jingyang County, at least hundreds of people saw this scene.
Some citizens believe that the phenomenon on the night of September 1 was just a luminous kite, but this theory has been refuted. "They suddenly came together and quickly dispersed," said user wrt Believe Yourself. "Kites can't do that."
Mr. Liu, a glow-in-the-dark kite player, questioned: "If this is a kite, how big and high does it have to be before the whole Xi 'an City and even suburban counties can see it?"
After watching the video, domestic UFO research experts, Purple Mountain Observatory researcher Wang Zeizi said that it is not ruled out that someone uses the ground spotlight array to shoot at the clouds with programmed procedures, but there are also doubts about the "spotlight".
The observation information of Xi 'an Meteorological Bureau shows that from 8 PM to 10 PM on September 1, the cloud height over Xi 'an is about 3000 meters. According to this, Wang said that if someone can see this phenomenon in Chunhua County, about 70 kilometers from Xi 'an, the elevation Angle of the observer to see this phenomenon should only be 3 degrees, and it is difficult to see the strange changes in the light array. Therefore, it is still difficult to determine what the "dragon pattern" is.
Wang Zeizi commissioned this newspaper to collect information from more eyewitness readers in order to make further judgments.
