Last week, two men from southeastern China came across an unusual object on their way to work, which they considered as UFO that was later confirmed as being a nose cone of a rocket.

Huang Yijin and Zhang Hejin, while on their way to work, were walking through a forest in Fujian province, when they discovered an unlikely finding peeking out from bushes. Assuming it to be a part of crashed UFO, the workers called the police. It later turned out, it was just the nose cone of a lunar rocket.

As per South China Morning Post, the authorities verified that the ‘unusual’ object was the cone was from the Long March 4C rocket used to launch China’s Queqiao relay satellite into orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in southwestern China’s Sichuan province on May 20.

The satellite launch was a part of the broader Chang’e 4 mission for sending a probe to the dark side of the moon later this year, wrote The Star.

As soon as it was confirmed that the debris was of no harm, with the help of some locals, they carried it into Wuchang district and put it in the village’s grain store for safekeeping. Later, the nose cone was moved to a local museum before being reclaimed by workers from the launch centre, said the report from Chinese news portal Dianwang Toutiao.
