At 3:00 am, the residents and employees of a factory in a small town were awakened by a bang and strange light. When they got out, it turned out that the plant was badly damaged, and the forest destroyed over 3 kilometers and an area of \u200b\u200b150-300 meters.
On December 1, 1994, 18 kilometers from the capital of China’s Guizhou Province, Guiyang City, there is a rural village and area known as Duxi Forest Farm. A man named Chen Lianyu and his friend were the first to return from their night watch, intending to rest and drink tea in their bedroom.
After tea, they tried to sleep, but were soon awakened by the sound of a freight train, which was strange, since the nearest railway station, Dulayin, was some distance away.
The two were not alone: all the townspeople also heard the noise and came out of their houses to see where it came from. Soon after, bright red and green lights suddenly appeared. So bright it seemed to be daytime, plus a sudden gust of wind and, according to some eyewitnesses, hail.
Some eyewitnesses even reported seeing fireballs. Several wooden houses even collapsed or were damaged. Those who did not come out of their houses to investigate reported that they could not open the doors until the sound and light had disappeared.
As soon as the sun rose that morning, the villagers went exploring and came across a painting that took their breath away. 400 hectares of forests and trees were destroyed: trees were cut in half, uprooted and severely bent.
Oddly enough, the greenhouse by the trees remained intact. The Dulaing railway station and factory were also damaged, with some brick buildings collapsing, roofs torn off, steel pipes bent and broken, and the train’s 50-ton carriages shifted 20 meters.
Despite the destruction, no one was injured and electricity and communications remained intact. The radius of destruction in the end turned out to be in the shape of a circle. Two guards were also blown into the air by the sudden gust of wind, but were not injured.
The journalists and government officials who arrived tried to document and understand what had happened. In addition to the extensive destruction, other oddities were also noted, for example, one of the journalists from a local newspaper stated that the pH๏τographies taken by him during the destruction were not disclosed.
The cameras were able to ph๏τograph the scene only a few days after the incident.
As for the damage, a large number of trees were snapped at a certain height of 1 meter. The damage was also selective, as there was no damage between the forest and the train station.
The incident became a sensation, sparking debate as to what natural explanation might have been the cause, or whether it was natural at all, as the incident has been cited as one of China’s most famous UFO incidents.
For starters, according to radar data, there were no military or civilian aircraft flying over the area at the time, and even if there were, it wouldn’t provide an instant explanation.
Weather events were soon named as the most likely suspects by those who believed the event had a natural explanation. The first theory was a downpour, which would explain some eyewitness accounts of the hail, the destruction it left behind, and that some eyewitnesses were unable to open the doors of their homes.
The possibility of a tornado was also considered, but according to weather data, no tornadoes were recorded that night.
As an alternative natural explanation, it has been suggested that a meteor could be the cause.
Although the meteor would explain the light and noise, it would not explain the pattern of damage and the damage itself, as the entire forest would be leveled.
What do those who believe in the theory of UFOs or other unnatural phenomena say?
Based on video and pH๏τographies of the destruction field, they determined that the UFO was 200 meters in diameter and its propulsion system or the surrounding field caused all the destruction that was recorded.
To explain the scattered damage, it has been argued that bad weather may have interfered with the UFO’s engine when it lost power and was forced to restart its power plant, causing the damage and also explaining the lack of damage amongst the forest. and the factory. /train station.
This theory is also called into question due to the lack of scorch and scorch marks on the ground or leaves.
This event was regularly returned and investigated, especially in the 2000s, but even the officials did not give a satisfactory explanation of what happened, so the cause of the destruction remained unrevealed. The scene has since been cleaned up and all traces of destruction removed.
