State media: China preparing UFO shootdown.

(RT) ⸻ Chinese authorities are preparing to shoot down an "unidentified flying object" near the coastal city of Rizhao in the eastern province of Shandong, state media reported on Sunday. The UFO was spotted by local maritime authorities and Fishermen working near the port city were sent messages advising them to "be safe." No further description of the aircraft was given, and it was not explained exactly how the authorities planned on bringing it down. This incident comes after US warplanes shot down three similar devices in a week, one of which originated in China. Beijing denied the accusations of espionage, insisting that the craft was a "civilian airship" that had veered off course. The Biden administration has imposed sanctions on six firms it accused of aiding Beijing's "aerospace programs."
