A video that spread widely spread controversy on social media, after a bright body appeared in the sky of the Chinese province of Shandong, disintegrating quickly, amid allegations that a meteor had been intercepted and destroyed with a Chinese missile.
China destroys a meteorite with a missile … a scientific fact or a mysterious puzzle?
According to circulating accounts, the scene was clearly seen from the cities of Wifang and Ricao, where “observers” said that the body was a small meteorite intercepted by a defensive missile, which opened the door for speculation about China’s test of new planetary defense systems.
But so far, the Chinese authorities have not confirmed any official details. The Emergency Management Office announced that he had not received any notice regarding the incident, while others considered that what happened may be just a secret military training or a simple objection test.
The Taiwanese newspaper World Journal indicated that she had spoken with eyewitnesses who confirmed watching the light of light the moment the body was dropped, considering that the event is real but it remains mysterious in its nature.
On the other hand, some commentators went further by offering a hypothesis that what was seen may be an unidentified flying body (UFO), but military experts have shown that such bodies are often test vehicles or military equipment linked to defense programs.
Analysts believe that the confirmation of China’s use of interceptor missiles against space bodies if it is proven will be a remarkable step in developing air defense and planetary defense systems, a field that warns global space agencies such as NASA for years of the need to expand it to face potential threats of asteroids.
Until the moment, the event remains the subject of controversy between being a secret Chinese military training or an actual experience of meteorite, in the absence of any official confirmation that puts an end to the speculation.
