WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.060 Okay, Chelsea, this... See, I think originally, 00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.160 when you hear what I do here, you're gonna be 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.179 upset, but at the end of it, you usually are 00:00:07.179 --> 00:00:09.919 pretty happy with how this goes. This is a, you 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.359 don't get to pick, kind of fringy many. Are you 00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:16.120 ever gonna let me pick again? How dare you even 00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.559 ask such a thing? The reason I do it this way 00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.100 is because I found this article headline, and 00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:26.910 I immediately knew... That this was what fringy 00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:30.269 minis were meant for okay i do enjoy that so 00:00:30.269 --> 00:00:32.990 i don't know that we ever had a choice to begin 00:00:32.990 --> 00:00:36.130 with and i don't know why not picking makes me 00:00:36.130 --> 00:00:38.869 so uneasy but i should just trust that you know 00:00:38.869 --> 00:00:41.689 what you're doing pretty happy with the whole 00:00:41.689 --> 00:00:45.490 circumstance it's true so so let's go for it 00:00:45.490 --> 00:00:48.159 okay. So this comes, I've never heard of this 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.780 website before, but again, this is based on the 00:00:50.780 --> 00:00:52.299 headline that we have to read this. Those are 00:00:52.299 --> 00:00:55.299 the best websites once we've never heard of before. 00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:01.200 O -V -N -I -O -L -O -G -I -A dot com dot VR. 00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:07.040 So OVNEOLOGIA dot com. Oh, that sounds reputable. 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.019 Yeah, yeah. And its logo is a gray alien head. 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.859 So. Oh, I already love it. Yes, article title. 00:01:15.180 --> 00:01:18.459 A UFO was shot down in China yesterday, article 00:01:18.459 --> 00:01:26.680 last updated September 13, 2025. Some Chinese 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.459 media reported today that an unknown object was 00:01:29.459 --> 00:01:32.959 intercepted in Shandong province. Images quickly 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:35.760 spread across local video platforms. Residents 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.280 of several areas in Shandong province, mainland 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.829 China witnessed a rare aerial phenomenon. night 00:01:40.829 --> 00:01:43.209 of September 12th. Many witnesses reported seeing 00:01:43.209 --> 00:01:45.870 a bright point of light moving rapidly across 00:01:45.870 --> 00:01:48.489 the sky followed by two loud booms and visible 00:01:48.489 --> 00:01:51.650 flashes. Videos recorded by locals were quickly 00:01:51.650 --> 00:01:53.909 shared online drawing widespread attention on 00:01:53.909 --> 00:01:56.430 Chinese social media. According to the newspaper, 00:01:56.769 --> 00:01:59.129 China Blue News, Witnesses described initially 00:01:59.129 --> 00:02:01.469 spotting an object moving at high speed in a 00:02:01.469 --> 00:02:04.629 parabolic trajectory. Huh. Apparently the Chinese 00:02:04.629 --> 00:02:06.650 are way better at their math. Not meant in a 00:02:06.650 --> 00:02:08.909 racist way, but like I couldn't describe something 00:02:08.909 --> 00:02:12.030 as a parabolic. I was actually just gonna comment, 00:02:12.069 --> 00:02:15.580 what the hell does parabolic mean? Doesn't that 00:02:15.580 --> 00:02:18.199 kind of mean like a slight arc? Isn't a parabola 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:22.039 like a lens shape? No idea, actually. I'll let 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.479 Chelsea Google that while I keep going. Moments 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.900 later, a second, luminous object appears from 00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:28.860 another direction. As the two cross paths in 00:02:28.860 --> 00:02:31.400 the sky, there is a bright flash and a deafening 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.419 explosion. So intense that some residents initially 00:02:34.419 --> 00:02:37.699 thought it was thunder or a detonation. Not two 00:02:37.699 --> 00:02:40.500 options I would generally have when I hear a 00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:43.500 noise. Like, either thunder or an explosion. 00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:46.879 Yeah, I mean, you could just be barely paying 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.120 attention and it could border, I could see it, 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.819 I could see it. I guess, yeah, I would have to 00:02:52.819 --> 00:02:54.840 be in that circumstance, but I just can't, for 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.659 the life of me, think of being in a situation 00:02:56.659 --> 00:02:58.539 where I'm not really sure if that was thunder 00:02:58.539 --> 00:03:01.840 or explosion. Yeah, no, I'm with you on that 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.719 one, actually, because thunder's pretty, though 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:18.280 I've... According to Yahoo News, military experts 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.639 stated that based on the characteristics reported, 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.099 the event was most likely a missile interception 00:03:23.099 --> 00:03:25.639 test. The first object was probably a simulated 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.879 target missile, while the second was an interceptor. 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.699 These tests are conducted to assess the effectiveness 00:03:30.699 --> 00:03:32.979 of air defense systems, particularly terminal 00:03:32.979 --> 00:03:35.840 missile interception technology. Some locals 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:47.379 reacted with understanding. Quote, another joked 00:03:47.379 --> 00:03:55.789 quote, What does that mean? I don't know. We 00:03:55.789 --> 00:03:57.490 might have to know a bit more about what's going 00:03:57.490 --> 00:04:00.009 on in China for that. I was just going to say, 00:04:00.150 --> 00:04:02.110 I think there's some cultural stuff we're not 00:04:02.110 --> 00:04:04.689 going to quite grasp here. I'm just happy they've 00:04:04.689 --> 00:04:09.550 translated it at least to English. On social 00:04:09.550 --> 00:04:11.590 media, alternative theories began to emerge. 00:04:11.729 --> 00:04:14.069 Some users suggested it could have been space 00:04:14.069 --> 00:04:16.209 debris re -entering the atmosphere such as remains 00:04:16.209 --> 00:04:19.120 of satellites or rockets. Similar incidents occurred 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.839 in 2023 when debris was seen over Jinan, Shandong, 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:26.540 and in Mei this year in Anhui province. However, 00:04:26.860 --> 00:04:28.699 many pointed out that the footage clearly shows 00:04:28.699 --> 00:04:31.300 an object being shot down, fueling speculation. 00:04:31.459 --> 00:04:33.779 Quote, it could have been a drone secretly filming 00:04:33.779 --> 00:04:36.680 a military base that got taken down. No foreign 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.100 drone would dare violate Chinese airspace like 00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:42.029 that. Could a drone even produce such a bright 00:04:42.029 --> 00:04:44.170 light? It looked like something straight out 00:04:44.170 --> 00:04:46.470 of Star Wars. End quote. I should say those are 00:04:46.470 --> 00:04:48.689 all separate quotes. I just got real lazy with 00:04:48.689 --> 00:04:52.610 this. That's fine. That's what we do. And they 00:04:52.610 --> 00:04:55.670 also, just so we can all be on the same page 00:04:55.670 --> 00:04:58.410 of understanding. These quotes are within their 00:04:58.410 --> 00:05:01.110 own little picture, which has quotes at each 00:05:01.110 --> 00:05:03.930 side at the end, and then there's quotes within 00:05:03.930 --> 00:05:07.370 this picture. So it's not fair for me as a reader 00:05:07.370 --> 00:05:09.769 reading it to you. I barely grasped that. All 00:05:09.769 --> 00:05:12.750 I understood was there's a lot of quotes. A lot 00:05:12.750 --> 00:05:16.389 of quotation marks. According to sinchu .com, 00:05:16.470 --> 00:05:18.629 no official statement has been issued so far 00:05:18.629 --> 00:05:21.050 and major Chinese media have not released further 00:05:21.050 --> 00:05:24.120 details. Experts emphasize that major military 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.300 powers around the world regularly conduct such 00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:29.139 tests as part of national defense strategies. 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.040 These exercises are not necessarily aimed at 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.060 a specific country, but are intended to improve 00:05:34.060 --> 00:05:37.600 a nation's defense capabilities. I would add 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.480 that yeah, they do do that. Generally, they warn 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.050 the public. Or at least have some kind of statement 00:05:43.050 --> 00:05:44.810 on it. In China? For now the incident remains 00:05:44.810 --> 00:05:48.089 shrouded. I mean most places, do they not? Like 00:05:48.089 --> 00:05:49.889 if they're gonna do something military -based, 00:05:50.089 --> 00:05:52.089 give a warning to the area so they don't think 00:05:52.089 --> 00:05:55.870 they're at war? I don't know. And I certainly 00:05:55.870 --> 00:05:58.750 do not know about China. Like even especially 00:05:58.750 --> 00:06:01.750 like with the Arizona lights, they had to come 00:06:01.750 --> 00:06:03.529 out the next day and say like, oh yeah, there 00:06:03.529 --> 00:06:05.389 was training going on. Oh yeah, we forgot. So 00:06:05.389 --> 00:06:09.089 nobody's too scared. Yeah, I guess. I have no 00:06:09.089 --> 00:06:11.329 idea. Especially if you're going to be firing 00:06:11.329 --> 00:06:13.970 missiles over top of your population that are 00:06:13.970 --> 00:06:17.250 exploding. I guess that would be logical. I guess 00:06:17.250 --> 00:06:19.769 I've just never been in that situation either. 00:06:20.790 --> 00:06:22.990 Yeah, all sorts of Chinese situations these countries 00:06:22.990 --> 00:06:27.339 people find themselves in. Is it thunder? Is 00:06:27.339 --> 00:06:30.420 it an explosion? Is the government going to be 00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:32.100 telling me this? I don't know. Do they tell us 00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:34.540 about military drills? No idea. For now, the 00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:36.339 incident remains shrouded in mystery with some 00:06:36.339 --> 00:06:38.360 believing it was just a routine military test 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:40.740 while others suspect that something truly unknown 00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:43.019 may have been shot down in the skies over China. 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:45.639 And then there is an update. The Chinese military 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:49.790 officer Zhao Da Shuai who is very active on the 00:06:49.790 --> 00:06:52.189 X platform shared a video showing the incident. 00:06:52.529 --> 00:06:55.129 In her post description she referred to the episode 00:06:55.129 --> 00:06:59.149 as quote an interception of something and quote 00:06:59.149 --> 00:07:01.470 the Chinese government without saying what that 00:07:01.470 --> 00:07:04.490 something might be. Quote something was intercepted 00:07:04.490 --> 00:07:07.329 by our air defense system off the coast of Shandong 00:07:07.329 --> 00:07:10.290 facing the Korean peninsula. end quote and oh 00:07:10.290 --> 00:07:12.529 that's a good quote Chelsea I do have to share 00:07:12.529 --> 00:07:14.870 this right now just because this is pretty great 00:07:14.870 --> 00:07:17.490 it is X but it's on the web page so I don't think 00:07:17.490 --> 00:07:19.870 they get a share from me or whatever you would 00:07:19.870 --> 00:07:22.970 call it this is pretty amazing Chelsea make sure 00:07:22.970 --> 00:07:41.000 your sounds nice and loud why Was that coming 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.319 from a UFO? No wonder they didn't know it was 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:52.860 an explosion or thunder. It's even more intriguing 00:07:52.860 --> 00:08:01.360 than I originally thought. I wonder if that's 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.319 part of her job for the Chinese government, adding 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:08.180 dubstep. Or at least some kind of house music. 00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:13.399 Ah, that was good stuff. Song of the Chinese 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.560 military. I don't think I actually processed 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.000 what I was seeing. I had to jam out when I heard 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:24.660 that. Just start dancing. Oh, okay, what happened? 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.800 Okay, I don't know. Something happened. The Chinese 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.180 government is good is what I got from that. All 00:08:31.180 --> 00:08:33.100 hail the Chinese government. May it live a thousand 00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:35.200 years, or at least over the next 48 hours, until 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.360 we see you guys again. Anyhow. We were all thinking 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:37.980 it. Bye.
