It’s an 'unidentified object'
The scientist who is supposed to have sighted it the object filmed for 40-minutes in China says: “That’s false news. I said ‘an unidentified object’ not ‘an unidentified flying object’.”
“Ji Haisheng, director of Nanjing-based Purple Mountain Observatory, pronounces each word carefully to clarify that he hasn’t made any claim of seeing a UFO during the July 22 solar eclipse, which could be seen across China,” reports Lin Shujuan for China Daily.
According to Shujuan, “The Daily Mail, however, reported on Sept 7 that China had “confirmed (that) 40 minutes of footage of the object was captured during this summer’s solar eclipse and that research has already started on a year-long investigation to find out what it is.”
The British newspaper quoted Ji as having said: “During the July 22 total solar eclipse observation, China had discovered near the sun an unidentified object, it’s physical nature remains to be further studied.”
“Ji said he doesn’t know why his explanation about a bright spot close to the sun, very likely to be the result of some coronal activity filmed during the total eclipse, was misunderstood,” reports Shujuan.
“Obviously, there have been misunderstandings,” Ji says while speaking to China Daily.
Ji says that on Sept 2 he received a call from a journalist who asked him about UFO images taken during the solar eclipse. “I was confused and retorted, ‘what UFO?’”
