UFO sighting: Flying saucer stops traffic

Commuters in a busy street of Guangzhou, China, were brought to a halt when they spotted a flying saucer hovering over the traffic.

The dashboard camera of one car snapped the flying saucer. The car pulled up behind crowds that were staring at the strange phenomenon. The footage that was taken from the car shows the driver coming to a stop, while people on the road were looking up with wide-open eyes and mouths.

Some witnesses panicked as the mysterious craft flew low over city traffic.

Although it was a video captured in Guangzhou, China, way back in April 2016, it became viral only recently, after UFO blogger Scott C Waring uploaded it.

He wrote in his blog: "Overall this is a fantastic example of a big UFO over China. A crowd builds up in the middle of a highway in the Chinese city of Guangzhou. The street quickly becomes a parking lot on both sides as people get out of their cars and start recording the UFO with their mobile phones. I also noticed if you make it full screen - the UFO wobbles as its moving. It is a disk, so perhaps the disk is spinning as it moves as many UFOs have been reported to do."

The clip shows a "flying saucer UFO" captured on the dashboard camera by another couple in Guangzhou on April 11, 2016. Even as the car pulls up, you can hear a woman saying: "Fay-de-aya," the Chinese word for a UFO. A scream of panic can be heard from elsewhere.

A number of commuters are seen snapping photographs, but so far only one video has been uploaded. Waring gives a strange explanation for that: "Why don't we see more videos of it? Because it takes a brave person to post something unknown on the internet that might get you and your family arrested in China. Since the Chinese government probably considers such videos to be top secret, and a threat to their national security."

There is a rush of comments from believers as well as sceptics. YouTube user Maverick posted: "It's funny considering so many people were recording this that is the only source of the video on YouTube."

Another critic quipped: "Looks like part of a commercial - people are pointing their phones all over the place."

A third man wrote: "Very fake. When the camera bounces upward at the beginning the UFO does as well - clearly composed."
