An alien spacecraft, more popularly known as unidentified flying object or UFO, has reportedly visited China in broad daylight early this year. The disc-shaped UFO was recorded flying over a freeway in Guangzhou, a Chinese located northwest of Hong Kong, and the spectacle left motorists in panic.

The incident, according to UFO blogger Scott Waring, caused a monstrous traffic jam when it happened April 11 this year. "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," the Taiwan-based Waring wrote.

Waring further observed that when looking closely, one would notice that the UFO is wobbling as its moves, perhaps indicating of spinning motion that normally is associated with disc-shaped UFOs. The report also noted that one Chinese woman was heard saying "Fay-de-aya." The term is the equivalent of UFO in the Chinese language, Waring claimed.

The Waring blog called UFO Sightings Daily reported too that the Chinese crowd that witnessed the bizarre phenomenon was clearly panic-stricken as screams and shouting can be heard from the background of the short clip, which runs only under a minute.

"Asians do get more afraid of the unknown than Americans," the blog report said in explaining the manifested fear among the motorists.

"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," Waring declared.

But not everyone was convinced. Commenters on the blog questioned the authenticity of the video with one saying that the whole scenario was staged. "The people photographing could all be involved in the prank or it could be something completely unrelated," according to one comment.

Others thought that the UFO was actually a floating lantern or a drone. Some were questioning too why the clip is the only source of the sighting, saying it's hard to imagine that of all the people filmed recording the hovering alien craft only one managed to share or upload a video.

Waring, however, has an explanation. He theorized that uploading of UFO sightings video is possibly illegal in China, which could have prevented most of the witnesses from sharing their incredible experience.
