🛸 Unexplained Drones Disrupt Flights at Tangan Airport

On the night of September 11th, unidentified flying objects were spotted over Tangan Binhai Airport for three consecutive nights, causing flight cancellations and delays for thousands of passengers. The official explanation was drone intrusions, but skeptics questioned this due to the extended flight duration and altitude of the objects. The incident, dubbed 'Tangin 911,' saw the airport close from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with 29 flights delayed, eight cancelled, and 32 forced to land elsewhere. Despite increased security, the drones reappeared, and on September 13th, similar sightings occurred at a military-civilian airport. The lack of effective countermeasures against the drones raised questions about their origin and capabilities, as they seemed to defy typical drone limitations and jamming technology.

the police the Drone appeared again

causing cusing multiple flights to

of September 13th there were more

unidentified objects in tanin with

several glowing objects moving in the

sky Witnesses said sometimes there were

four sometimes five on September 14th

reports emerged that drones also

take off or land there passengers are

usually required to keep window shades

down and are not allowed to take photos

in the early morning of September 14th

at 5:25 a.m. residents in multiple areas

of Beijing saw a large glowing object in

the sky rotating over a wide area what's

flying over here just now there was only

one but now there are three what is this

thing on the evening of September 14th

at 600 p.m. a Beijing resident captured

footage of an unidentified flying object

moving from east to west initially it

appeared as a misty light with a large

Halo on the east side it made no sound

and gradually dispersed into three

glowing spheres another person near the

north fifth Ring Road in Beijing also

saw a mysterious Halo in the sky in the

video they mentioned I got up in the

middle of the night to use the bathroom

and looked outside I saw a strange

bright light at first I thought it was a

commercial Spotlight but this mysterious

light covered a wide area with no

pattern at one point multiple beams of

light suddenly appeared rotated across

the sky and then vanished one person

commented last night it was as bright as

daylight outside my home but the sky was

full of dark clouds how could it be so

bright like it was 6 p.m. it's really

strange footage showed the sky over

Beijing filled with glowing objects

raising curiosity about what these

glowing entities could be regarding the

incident at tangan airport the strange

thing is that the supposed drones faced

almost no effective counter measures

drone jamming guns usually regarded as

airport Defenders seemed useless this

time many questioned why these drones

weren't just shot down How could a small

civilan drone caused changin airport to

close for nearly 10 hours in 2022 a

drone also appeared over Shenyang

airport but the airport staff quickly

brought it down in just a few minutes

with no major impact on flights with

kind of surveillance technology finding

the person behind the Drone isn't

supposed to be difficult so why did

these incidents continue for several

days the videos online showed various

shapes of these unidentified flying

objects some were round some were

triangular and some had flashing lights

and others had visible fire engines many

people doubted the official explanation

that they were merely drones they raised

several questions first civilian drones

usually have a maximum flight time of

around 30 minutes and a flight altitude

limit of 500 M the drones over the

changan airport far exceeded these

capabilities in terms of endurance speed

and

altitude second airports have electronic

fencing technology preventing drones

from taking off near the area civilian

drones come with pre-programmed no fly

zones making it impossible for operators

to fly them into such areas third

airports have devices to interfere with

drone signals once detected a drone

should be intercepted or shot down by El

ronic jamming guns for these reasons

many found it hard to believe that they

were just regular drones civilian drones

are small and light but if they collide

with a plane in Flight it can lead to a

fatal accident that's why drones are

banned around airports some analysts

believe that this incident was a

deliberate intrusion a social media user

named captain shingai shared details

stating that special police deployed

radar and jamming vehicles but couldn't

suppress the invading drones so far no

suspected drone operators have been

caught not only did these drones fly in

restricted airspace but they also

ignored all counter measures as if

toying with the airport they first

appeared around 7:00 p.m. on September

11th forcing the airport to shut down at

10:20 p.m. the airport announced that

neither visual nor radar observations

detected any drones allowing flights to

resume after 40 minutes per

regulations however around 11:00 p.m.

drones reappeared on the east side of

the airport this caused the air airport

to remain closed until 6:00 a.m. the

next day totaling around 10 hours this

incident is far from simple these drones

flew in a no-fly zone and defied all

jamming equipment with a single battery

usually lasting around 30 minutes yet

they persisted for 3 hours on the night

of September 12th they returned despite

the police being on high alert this

suggests a deliberate provocation rather

than an accidental intrusion these

drones must have been modified to

counter the Airport's various defense

measures captain shingai speculates that

the drones in tanin might be the new

wired control drones recently seen on

the Russia Ukraine

Battlefield it's well known that the

Russia Ukraine conflict has become

dominated by drones with various fpv

drones filling the sky both sides have

been so fearful of drone attacks that

they've welded iron grates onto tanks

and soldiers have even used fishing nets

for protection to counter drone attacks

both Russian and Ukrainian forces have

procured drone Jammers from an unknown

country through various channels these

include portable backpack Jammers

jamming guns and jamming Vehicles as a

result drones that rely on 2.4g or 5.8g

channels for remote control and image

transmission are now at a significant

risk however the new wire controlled

drones on the battlefield are different

they fly with a fiber optic cable

replacing remote control with fiber

optic wired control although these

drones have a short short flight range

of only 5 km they do not rely on

wireless communication making them

immune to radio surveillance and

interference thereby avoiding most

jamming methods if these were indeed

drones it would be one of the most

severe cases of deliberate interference

with civil aviation in recent years

Crossing from a public safety issue into

National Security this drone incident in

tangin has caused significant losses for

the airlines the worst affected flight

on September 11th was the one traveling

from Chen to chenin just when passengers

thought they would soon land an

announcement informed them of an

unidentified flying object in the sky

causing panic the plane circled tanin

six times but couldn't land eventually

diverting to Beijing dashing airport the

airport tried to accommodate the

passengers by arranging buses and hotels

but despite these efforts many

passengers were very upset for the

flights that were delayed canceled or

rerouted Airlines had to cover various

costs paying for ground fees overtime

for crew members extra fuel consumption

and providing meals and accommodations

for passengers in total each flight

faced losses of at least a million yen

for more than 30 effective flights the

total loss could reach tens of millions

what was the purpose behind the drones

invading tenin airport online chat

records suggest that those controlling

the drones might be seeking revenge on

certain individuals a chat screenshot

from tanin caught people's attention it

stated they intervened blocking the the

outer Ring Road and searching each trunk

for the remote control this implies that

authorities were conducting a thorough

search to find the Drone operators even

checking every car trunk someone

commented who would be dumb enough to

keep the remote they'd have thrown it

into the river by now some Independent

Media sources also noted that the tenin

BH High airport is a significant

location former Chinese president huin

taao developed the airport for military

purposes in North China easing beijing's

wartime difficulties t Jin airport is

under strict military management making

a drone intrusion seem unlikely a

well-known blogger longya wrote those

familiar with the aviation industry know

that China's airspace is not just

managed by the civil aviation

Administration above it there is the Air

Force the Air Force doesn't typically

inform local Aviation departments about

real air conditions to protect military

Secrets the closure of tanin binhai

airport for public safety reasons over 2

days is most likely due to military

reasons

many people agreed with this analysis

but the post was quickly deleted by

authorities veteran journalist Tang Jin

Yen told the media there are two

possibilities one is that people

controlling these drones are highly

skilled in evading detection they know

how law enforcement operates and may

have prepared in advance to remain

hidden for an extended period another

possibility is that this incident

involves internal CCP factions high

ranking CCP officials residences are

well protected with Advanced Sur

surveillance surrounding them it's

unlikely that the suspects could hide

without leaving any Trace unless they

had high level support or inside

connections Tong added no matter the

actual reason the fact that these

suspects haven't been caught reflects a

reality the ccp's judicial and public

security agencies which appear powerful

with surveillance everywhere are

practically paralyzed and ineffective

when it comes to protecting citizens

lives some Witnesses believe this drone

incident doesn't seem like an ordinary

event many speculate that it wasn't

drones at all but possibly UFOs images

circulating online show that these

objects in tenin resemble the Luminous

distant and varying shapes seen in a

similar incident in hjo xaan airport the

shaan airport UFO incident occurred on

the night of July 7th 2010 the incident

at the shaan airport in 2010 led to an

emergency airport shutdown and

widespread flight delays Witnesses at

the time described seeing a large white

UFO in the sky despite it being

nighttime the area suddenly became as

bright as day Illuminating at least a

few hundred meters around it was so

bright that everything was clearly

visible the UFO moved rapidly across the

sky giving the impression of conducting

a ground scan after a while it appeared

as if the sky cracked open and the

object quickly vanished news of the

shaan airport UFO quickly spread online

even 14 years later the incident remains

unresolved with no no clear explanation

recently several people who experienced

the shaan incident shared their accounts

online one person wrote apart from the

pilots no one knows the incident better

than I do I was a crane operator working

overtime to lift materials when it

happened the crane was over 150 M high

that thing was definitely not man-made

unfortunately I forgot to take my phone

with me to capture it another person

shared I was fortunate to be there

staying for more than 10 minutes in the

waiting Hall under the UFO before staff

escorted us away at first I thought it

was a military aircraft it felt strange

I had the sensation of my legs wanting

to float like the resistance you feel

when standing in the ocean someone else

recounted my dad and I were there when

it happened I was just over 10 years old

at that time my dad had a DSLR camera

and took some photos he showed them to

his company leaders and one of them

reported it the military police then

took the camera and asked how much it

cost they gave us $ 7 ,000 yen in cash

and the camera was confiscated
