Several airline pilots have reported sighting a shining Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) near the south-eastern Chinese city of Nanjing.

A Xiamen Airlines pilot reported the first sighting on Monday.

He said he saw a light blue object hovering past his plane.

At the same time, pilots of a Shandong airline, which was some 120 kilometres away from the Xiamen airlines plane, also reported a similar sighting.

They described the UFO as being a white and blue skateboard-shaped craft.

The UFO was believed to be some 70 kilometres above the eastern Bengbu city in Anhui province.
