“UFO” Over Britain Was Actually A Chinese Space Rocket
London, UK, Dec. 22, 2025 – Editor’s Note: The article below first ran on The Sun’s website in the UK on 12/8/25 by writer Ed Southgate. It can be found here: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/37573397/ufo-britain-chinese-space-rocket/?ref=ufouapwtf.com
A STREAK of blazing light recently spotted over Britain was a Chinese space rocket and not a UFO, say experts. Witnesses reported seeing the bright pillar at around dawn.
Ellie Jarvis, 45, from Clovelly, Devon, was up unusually early when she captured the sight.
She said: “I couldn’t believe it.”
“We’ve seen auroras before, but I didn’t know what this was.”
‘‘It was so straight and high up in the sky. I wondered if it was a natural trick of the light.”
Ellie, who has lived in the village for 20 years, added: “I was so surprised when I found out what it actually was.”
“I’d already shared it in our family group chat and we had all kinds of theories.”
Scientists said it was most likely caused by a Chinese rocket’s exhaust catching the rising sun.
Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell said: “It was definitely the Chinese Zhuque-3 rocket making its first test flight.”
The rocket, launched from near the Mongolia border, is designed to carry space shuttles and satellites.
