Hong Kong - Several airline pilots have reported sighting a shining unidentified flying object (UFO) near the southeastern Chinese city of Nanjing, a newspaper reported here Thursday.

The first sighting was reported by a Xiamen Airlines pilot on Monday, who said he saw a light blue object hovering past his plane while 80 kilometers north of Nanjing, the Wen Wei Po daily reported.

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

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

A pilot from another airplane, some 300 kilometers away, also reported a similar sighting to an airport control tower in Tonglu in Zhejiang province.

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