I heard about this on the radio while driving home today. I thought "Ho-hum, another light object darting around, whatever *yawn*"
Wow! Was I wrong! Those are amazing pictures, especially the first picture. I think it might be different pictures of two separate instances. The first one, can't really explain it, but the second one looks like a regular plane with it's lights simply lighting up a foggy sky.
I'm sure with China's large population, more pictures will eventually show up. Hopefully the Chinese government doesn't confiscate or block the new pictures.
Here's the original article from dailymail.co.uk:

A Chinese airport was closed after this mysterious object was spotted in the sky.
Arcing over Zhejiang's provincial capital Hangzhou, the UFO appeared to glow with an eerie white light and left a bright trail in its wake.
Xiaoshan Airport was closed after the UFO was detected at around 9 pm and dozens of flights had to be diverted.
The strange light appeared to glow as it swept through the night sky, to the alarm of local residents

Stunned witnesses reported seeing a comet-like fireball in the sky and a number of local residents took photos of the strange ball of light.
A local bus driver, giving his name only as Yu, said he had seen a strange glowing object in the sky late on Wednesday afternoon.
'The thing suddenly ran westwards fast, like it was escaping from something,' he said.
Inbound flights were diverted to nearby airports while outbound flights were delayed for three to four hours.
Some Chinese experts claimed that the strange sight was actually debris from a US intercontinental ballistic missile.
Chinese officials later said that they knew what the object had been but were unable to make it public because there was a 'military connection.'
An official statement is expected later today.
