'Great events' concerning UFOs to come out in China in next 2yrs

New Delhi, Oct 7 (ANI): A scientist in China has predicted that "great events" concerning UFOs were going to come out in the country in the next two years.

Wang Sichao, a research fellow at the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, started work on UFOs nearly 40 years ago, Beijing Review reported.

He has been studying the sightings, and checking and replying to mail about UFOs from all across China.

In an interview he shared his views and stories as to why he had made the predictions, and the basis for them.

"First, I'd like to say something about the conception of great events about UFOs. It does not mean large numbers of UFOs but refers to events of credible facts backed by observation," he said.

"But these facts cannot yet be explained by existing scientific knowledge or natural phenomena.

"Through 39 years' investigation and research, I found that in years ending with the numbers 1, 2 or 7-such as 1971, 1981, 1991, 1982, 1992, 2002, 1977, 1987, 2007-great UFO events would happen.

"So, I think 2011 and 2012 will be another two active years," he explained. (ANI)
