Shoppers in Shijiazhuang City in China’s Hebei Province got a surprise on Sunday that was quite literally ‘out of this world’. As some late-night shoppers were leaving a supermarket, a UFO was seen hovering above the store’s entrance.

The UFO remained above the entrance for around one minute before shooting off into the night sky. One witness who was carrying a mobile phone managed to get a number of shots of the craft (See photos below).

The witness, who insists that there were other passersby who also saw the sighting, then posted the UFO photos on a popular science and technology site requesting assistance in identifying the object.

While many UFO experts might regard these images as showing a classic saucer-shaped UFO with possible lights or windows around it, in China this type of UFO that involves a row of lights is sometimes also referred to as a ‘flying stick’ UFO.

In the Chinese city of Foshan recently another ‘flying stick’ UFO was seen and photographed by a newspaper photographer last month (Picture Below).
