The series of perplexing videos were posted yesterday on Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo as stunned net users discussed what it could be.

They described the two-minute phenomenon as bright white rays shaped either like a ‘massive tail’ or an ‘artificial light’ beaming from the clouds and slowly moving across the sky.

‘Aliens are coming!’ said one user on Weibo.

A military magazine editor and blogger by the name of Weaponmagazine-Xiaoning said the footage could be of Chinese military testing a top secret hypersonic aircraft, DF-ZF. The hypersonic glide vehicle was previously known by the Pentagon as WU-14.

However, officials in China have yet to confirm the latest round of testing.

Residents in Beijing were also startled by a similar sighting on April 27, when a strange beam of light was spotted in the night sky, said to be caused by a rocket launch from Taiyuan’s satellite launch centre.

Leading UFO expert Nigel Watson, author of UFOs of the First World War, told MailOnline that the footage looked like the trail of a rocket motor, similar to the phenomenon seen following a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch on Sunday night.

‘In both cases they are night launches where the rocket exhaust gases look very spectacular and can easily make people think this is a UFO,’ Mr Watson pointed out.

‘Fortunately, these are examples of terrestrially produced out-of-this-world spectaculars, not the work of the notorious big-eyed greys of UFO legend,’ he added.
