Houma, China: Air Force instructor in night fighter sees luminous object streak north
At 9:10 p.m. one day in late February 1979, Chinese Air Force flight instructor Sha Yangkao, flying a night fighter over Houma, Shanxi, saw a bright luminous object shoot across the sky from south to north, apparently at supersonic speed.
Background
At 9:10 p.m. Chinese Air Force flight instructor Sha Yangkao was flying a night fighter over Houma, Shanxi, China. He saw a bright luminous object shoot across the sky from south to north. It appeared to be flying supersonically at an altitude of about 3,300 feet. The case is known from Paul Dong's Chinese-language question-and-answer book on UFOs, excerpted in Flying Saucer Review in 1984. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
