According to Guizhou TV’s “People’s Attention”, citizens of Zhangzhou city in Fujian Province reported that on Feb. 10 around 8:00 p.m., they saw extremely bright unidentified flying objects (UFOs), moving very fast in the sky.
Witnesses said that at first, they only saw point-like objects in the sky. After spreading out, they formed a straight-line formation. The first reaction was to think they were drones. Later, one became two, and then more than ten lined up. Suddenly, they formed a circle and immediately disappeared.
Citizens all agreed these were not drones. Mr. Zhang said: “The object formed a point in the sky, then spread and lined up in a straight line. At first, I thought it was a drone, it was so bright. It went from one to two, then straight in a line, and when it multiplied to more than ten, it suddenly became a circle. It didn’t feel like a drone, or a kite or anything like that.”
He added: “Its speed was incredibly, astonishingly fast. It only appeared for about ten seconds before completely disappearing. I happened to look up and it was very close to me. When it formed a circle, it was a bit farther away. It didn’t look like fire.”
A person filming said: “I looked up and suddenly saw two rows of red dot-like objects in the sky. They flashed for less than a minute. It was very shocking.” Another said: “It was around 8 p.m. last night in front of my house. It looked a bit like a wish lantern or something like Starlink.”

Videos and photos from the scene show the UFO in Fujian moving extremely quickly and in an orderly trajectory, like a series of small burning balls. However, this unusual display only lasted about ten seconds before vanishing completely, unlike a rocket’s tail flame or a meteor.
The Fujian UFO quickly went viral on social media, trending and sparking various speculations. Some netizens said: “Around 7:50–8:00 p.m. yesterday, there were continuous rumbling sounds outside for about 20 minutes, then it stopped.” Others speculated: “Isn’t this just Elon Musk’s Starlink? Starlink satellites are only lined-up stars in the sky. They aren’t this bright, and their reflection off clouds doesn’t look like this.”
The article notes that Starlink’s trajectory doesn’t form a circle. According to citizens’ feedback, the object started as a line, then two lines, then a circle—it seemed like one object gradually becoming visible. When it was fully revealed as a circle, it immediately disappeared.
From witness descriptions and video footage, these UFOs appear to be genuine. Some joked: “Could it be aliens again?” or “Maybe aliens came to tour Earth and chose Fujian first.” Other netizens pointed out that UFO sightings have been happening in many areas: Tianjin, Beijing, Cangzhou in Hebei for three consecutive days, as well as Fuzhou in Jiangxi, the Fujian-Guangzhou border, Chongqing, Anhui, Xinjiang, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Datong in Shanxi, and Heilongjiang.
On Sept. 11, 2024, at 7:33 p.m., a UFO appeared at Tianjin Airport, causing widespread flight delays. The airport claimed it was due to drones affecting public safety, delaying or canceling dozens of flights and impacting over 3,000 travelers. A similar incident occurred the next day. Videos showed small flashing lights forming circles in the sky, resembling UFOs often depicted in movies. On Sept. 14, citizens in Beijing also filmed large, continuously flashing UFOs in the clouds.
Despite public speculation, the Zhangzhou city government and relevant departments claimed to be unaware of the phenomenon. As of Feb. 11, 2025, the exact nature of these mysterious UFOs remains unknown. The article notes that even major incidents involving drones in China are strictly controlled, suggesting that the possibility of actual UFOs is relatively high.
Sightings continue to increase
In recent years, UFO sightings on Earth have increased. U.S. Congressman Mike Burchett recently discussed the possibility of extraterrestrial life, citing a Navy admiral who reported alien vessels moving underwater at incredible speeds.
Burchett has long believed the U.S. government is hiding information about UFOs and extraterrestrial activities. In April 2024, after attending a classified UFO briefing, he stated that the government is deliberately concealing information.
In 2023, a former Air Force intelligence officer testified before Congress that the U.S. government had recovered several crashed unknown aircraft and non-human biological samples. However, the Pentagon denied these claims.
Harvard social science researchers recently suggested that extraterrestrial life may have already been on Earth, with UFOs and other unexplained aerial phenomena as possible evidence. Researchers outlined four arguments for coexistence with extraterrestrials. Former U.S. Department of Defense UFO expert Luis Elizondo, in his August 2024 book, suggested that aliens may have plans to invade Earth, acting like a military force preparing for combat.
Additionally, British media reported on Jan. 31 that a Reddit user posted a satellite image of Antarctica showing what looked like an alien face in the southeastern Oates Land region. The image has been circulating online since 2019, with coordinates 72°00’36.0” S, 168°34’40.0” E.
