(NEWSER) – Three Chinese passenger flights en route to Batou, Inner Mongolia, were forced to circle for an hour because of a UFO, the Telegraph reports. The object seemed to hover spastically while blinking until it suddenly vanished. Airport authorities held the flights and redirected others “to guarantee safety,” a spokesman said. This is the eighth UFO sighting in China since June. Little green men? Not quite: Most have been chalked up to either military tests or a Chinese custom of putting LEDs on kites and flying them at night.

Umm did they really just glance over the whole Chinese custom of putting LEDs on kites and flying them at night? Kind of an important fact dont you think? Like maybe everyone wouldn’t be freaking out about these UFO’s when they realize its just some wacky dude attaching his fucking flashlight to his butterfly kite and then taking a midnight stroll.

Who flies kites these days anyway? Hello? Theyre called video games, ever heard of them?

Kites are for pussies.
