• On September 28, 1892, in the 18th year of the Guangxu Emperor’s reign in China, a crowd gathered on Zhuque Bridge, near the Confucius temple in Nanjing, Jiangsu province to see a burning ball cross the sky. The Qing Dynasty scene was the first highlighted account of a UFO occurrence in China, memorialized in a painting by Wu Youru, known as ‘Red Flame Skyrocketing in the Sky’. (pictured above)

• A translation of the 190- character description on the painting reads as follows: ” At 8 O’clock On The Night Of September 28, A Bright Red Object Appeared Suddenly In The Southern Sky Of Nanjing City. Its Shape Resembled A Gigantic Egg And It Was Traveling Gradually Eastward. The Object Was Clearly Visible In The Night Sky. Hundreds Of Civilians Were Basing On Red Sparrow Bridge, Scrambling For A Great View, Basing On Tip-Toe, Craning Their Necks Upward.”

• “It Remained For A Duration Of A Meal’s Time, Fading Into The Range Little By Little. Some Stated It Was A Meteor, But A Meteor Takes However An Instant To Slip Away, While This Ball’s Movement — From Its First Appearance In The Near Sky To The Final Disappearance In The Distance — Was Rather Stagnant. It Can Not Have Been A Meteor.”

• “Others Said It Was A Lantern-Kite That Children Flew. However The Wind Was Blowing To The North That Night While That Things Was Heading East. It Can Not Have Actually Been A Lantern-Kite Either. For A Time Everyone Spoke, But None Could Solve The Mystery. None Of The Theories Made Good Sense.”

• “An Elderly Man Stated, ‘When It Initially Developed, There Was A Minor Noise Which Was Hardly Audible, Like The Buzzing Method Of Guys Darting Across The South Gate. The Noise Was So Soft That The Majority Of People Would Have Missed It.’ He Included That The Things Soared Up Into The Sky From The Southern Outskirts Of The City. It Was So Unusual!”

 

On the 28th day of the 9th month in the 18 th year of the Guangxu Emperor’s reign–1892– a crowd gathered on Zhuque Bridge, near the Confucius

temple in Nanjing, Jiangsu province to see a burning ball cross the sky.

The Qing Dynasty scene was tape-recorded by painter Wu Youru, whose’ Red Flame Skyrocketing in the Sky’ (赤 焰 騰 空 ‘ Chi Yan Teng Kong‘) is the first highlighted account of a UFO occurrence in China. The work has in fact ended up being a valuable historic file for UFO scientists.

A translation of the 190- character description on the painting checks out as follows:
” At 8 O’clock On The Night Of September 28, A Bright Red Object Appeared Suddenly In The Southern Sky Of Nanjing City.

Its Shape Resembled A Gigantic Egg And It Was Traveling Gradually Eastward. The Object Was Clearly Visible In The Night Sky. Hundreds Of Civilians Were Basing On Red Sparrow Bridge, Scrambling For A Great View, Basing On Tip-Toe, Craning Their Necks Upward.

It Remained For A Duration Of A Meal’s Time, Fading Into The Range Little By Little. Some Stated It Was A Meteor, But A Meteor Takes However An Instant To Slip Away, While This Ball’s Movement — From Its First Appearance In The Near Sky To The Final Disappearance In The Distance — Was Rather Stagnant.
