Not just the Pentagon (on the eve of the delivery of a report on the phenomenon). The People's Liberation Army is also trying to catalog all aerial phenomena without explanation. Yes, reports are also on the rise in China.
The Chinese army's approach is decidedly more organised, at least in appearance: artificial intelligence is used to detect and focus on all UFO sightings.
Same, identical "little problem" of the United States
The Chinese military describes them as "unidentified air conditions", according to the South China Morning Post. At a rough estimate, it is the red lantern version of the UAP, the "unidentified aerial phenomena" of the US military.
“The frequent occurrence of unidentified air conditions in recent years brings serious challenges to the safety of our country's air defense,” he says Chen Li, researcher for the Chinese army. In 2019, the scholar from China's Air Force Early Warning Academy presented a substantial report to the best Chinese information technology scientists.
Tracking UFOs with AI
Same problems, different approaches. As mentioned, the thing in which China seems to distinguish itself from the United States is the use of artificial intelligence tools to study unidentified flying objects and phenomena.
Li said AI can “think outside the box” by connecting seemingly disconnected data sets from various locations and times. This can help the Chinese military more quickly and concretely assess whether UFOs are coming from hostile countries, completely natural phenomena, or even something otherworldly.
Another difference: in China they show less openness on the issue. If the US is likely to clear the possibility that these phenomena are of extraterrestrial origin this month, the Chinese military is of a different opinion.
While this may fuel even more speculation about visitors from other planets, many Chinese scientists and officials believe that most, if not all, UFO activity is man-made or natural.
