Four seas network news, last night (on the evening of April 27) around 8 o'clock, the night sky above Beijing across a strange beam of light, the UFO 8000 meters high, silent, like a huge flying flashlight. Aviation experts believe that UFOs are likely to be man-made aircraft, but missile experts exclude the possibility of long-range or intercontinental ballistic missiles.
At 8:03 p.m., aviation expert Wang Yanan saw this huge light source in the campus of North University of science and technology. He described that the altitude is estimated to be more than 8000 meters, there is no sound, and it looks like a huge flying flashlight. At the same time, friends in Hebei also said that they were surprised to see the same kind of light source and were "extraterrestrial visitors". When I first saw it, the color was bright, and then it was dim. Later netizens said that the beam also appeared over Nanjing, Hohhot, Taiyuan, Tianjin and Qingdao.
To this end, speculation exploded: first, antimissile weapon test, second is considered to be rocket, there are also analysis that meteorite.
Wang Yanan told ID: huanqiu-com that after watching the video for dozens of seconds, he came to the conclusion that it was a man-made aircraft, a rocket or a missile. Because the flight altitude is very high, it is likely that the flight speed is very fast in the near space, outside the atmosphere.
Wang Yanan said that the trajectory is very similar based on the previous observation records of missile test in the United States, and the whole relatively complete video is connected. The conclusion is that the artificial aircraft is not an aircraft, because there are jets in the tail, it is an aircraft that uses the principle of recoil, it should be a rocket and a missile. For the location of the aircraft, whether it is in the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center or not, Wang Yanan thinks that the orientation is difficult to determine, and if it is a missile weapon of some experimental nature, it may also make changes in the flight path.
Some netizens on the internet think that this may be the space launch of gaofen-5 satellite carried by the long march-4b rocket of Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. Wang Yanan thinks it is possible.
According to the online forecast schedule of China's space launch in 2018, in April, there was a space launch plan for the long march 4B rocket carrying the gaofen-5 satellite in Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center.
Yang Chengjun, a Chinese missile technology expert and nuclear strategy expert, has different views on this issue. On the 27th, he said to Huanhuan (ID: huanqiu-com), from the video and picture analysis, it is definitely not a large launch vehicle, and the Long March 4 is about 30 meters long; secondly, it is definitely not a long-range or intercontinental ballistic missile.
Yang Chengjun explained that China's large Rockets have glide and orbit change technology, but this kind of glide and orbit change technology is long-distance and slow, but from photos and videos, the angle of this flying object is very small, the turning is very urgent and flexible. So it can't be a large flying object. Yang Chengjun himself has seen missile launches for many times. He believes that this kind of flight path is not a missile launch. The missile launch has a flame spray color. The flame spray has a direction, not a turn. He thinks it is likely to be a small rocket (within 2 meters in length), a small satellite with power or other small satellites for scientific exploration.
