Earlier this week, a video began floating around that purported to show a fireball falling out of the sky over China — only to be interrupted by another, smaller fireball that stops the first one.

Upon watching the video, pretty much everyone put on their tinfoil hat and began to speculate about what exactly happened here. The fireball appeared to be some sort of flying object that couldn’t be identified — wait a minute, Unidentified Flying Object? My God, we have a UFO on our hands! Maybe they just offed an alien!

The crazy thing is, no one truly knows what happened here. The prevailing theory (besides aliens) is that the country was testing some sort of asteroid interception device, though local authorities appear to have denied such claims.

So maybe there’s an E.T. in Rizhao, China. Why do *they* get to have all the cool stuff???

Just in.

A bright aerial event occurred over eastern China.

Witnesses reported a flash and a possible impact. Social media buzzed with theories. Some suggested a missile intercept test, others speculated about a UFO shoot-down. pic.twitter.com/es5L8NJLpw
