Outsiders

    The hardcore fans crowded Ma Ying out of any discussion with expert ufologists, he said.

    "UFO fans are a passionate, curious and hard-working group of people whose minds are preoccupied by beer-drinking and day-dreaming when they are not preoccupied by unidentified objects," the 37-year-old Kunming engineer said.

    Although not a member himself, Ma hoped the forum promotes communication about sightings among UFO associations across the country.

    The UFO forum is "very meaningful" to combine with astronomy, said Wang Sichao, a researcher at the Zijingshan Astronomical Observatory in Nanjing, Zhejiang Province.

    "UFOs may be just a flight of fancy, but astronomy is trustworthy," he said. "The forum successfully attracted amateur astronomers who have made a great contribution to the collection of UFO sightings."
