Background

On June 12, 1981, farmer Chen Kang and his wife watched an object with twinkling lights in southern Taiwan. After hearing a strange sound, they looked up and saw a crystal object shaped like a reversed cone gliding downward. It landed behind a tree and continued whirling like a top and emitting fog. It flew off after about 10 minutes without leaving any traces. The South China Morning Post reported the case on June 14, 1981, and the CUFOS Associate Newsletter in July 1981 under the headline 'UFO Lands in Taiwan'. 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.
