Residents in several areas of Shandong Province witnessed a rare phenomenon on the evening of September 12. The calm night sky was suddenly pierced by a mysterious beam of light, with many citizens posting videos claiming to have seen a “UFO being hit and exploding” scene, accompanied by a loud bang. This incident left many residents frightened.
From the footage that has been released, it can be seen that there was an object resembling a fireball flying in the sky, followed by another object flying upwards towards the sky during the flight. Soon after, the two bright clusters collided, bursting apart in a dazzling flash of light.
At around 8:45 pm on September 12, residents of Weifang, Rizhao, and surrounding provinces in Shandong witnessed this rare sight. Media outlets such as “The First Scene” and “Extreme Vision News” reported that witnesses described seeing a bright light moving rapidly in the night sky, following a clear parabolic trajectory at a speed far exceeding that of a regular aircraft. Subsequently, another luminous body approached rapidly from a different direction, and the two clusters of light intersected in the air, erupting in a burst of intense flashes and two thunderous bangs, causing windows of some residents to tremble.
According to reports from “Sina Hotspot” and “China Blue News,” the tranquil night sky was suddenly disturbed by an object that appeared from afar like a fireball, moving at high speed in a parabolic trajectory. It seemed to have been “hit,” emitting an explosion-like bang before bursting in the night sky. The sudden deafening noise left many residents shocked, with some initially mistaking it for thunder or an explosion.
Some witnesses likened the sound to that of a cannon.
Some internet users expressed amazement that such a rare phenomenon was discovered and captured by multiple individuals.
This incident has sparked various speculations, with questions like “What could these be?” and “Could this be an act of aggression?”
Some suspect it may be related to scientific research or military activities. “Was a drone shot down while spying on a military base?” “It might be a missile defense experiment.”
Many more netizens questioned why the official explanation has not been clearly disclosed.
On September 13, the Weifang Emergency Management Bureau informed local media that they have not “received any information” regarding the incident. As of now, mainland authorities have not issued an official notification on the matter, and many mainstream media outlets have not disclosed further details.
