Russian ufologist Anton Anfalov reportedly told that in the Gobi Desert, Outer Mongolia, China, on 1982 or 1983, at an unknown time and unknown exact date, Chinese military units accidentally stumbled upon a crashed alien spacecraft.
A retrieval team was allegedly summoned, the site properly cordoned off, and all was allegedly done so that nobody hears about it.
It is claimed the craft was slightly damaged and abandoned by its crew, that it was a cylinder, 10 meters long and about 2.5 to 3 meters in diameter, with a "very durable surface" and sophisticated equipment apparently used by alien entities found inside the cabin, with chairs for 2 or 3 entities.
The craft was allegedly loaded on a flatbed truck or railroad carriage and moved to a secret underground Government research installation in a military range southwest of Beijing under the Taihangshan mountains, to be extensively studied, as well as another UFO that allegedly crashed in 1973.
Dr. Anton Anfalov confirmed in 2008 that it was only a hoax.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:
Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in the Gobi Desert, Outer Mongolia, China, on 1982 (or 1983), at an unknown time, Chinese military units accidentally stumbled upon a crashed alien spacecraft in this isolated desert region. A retrieval team was summoned and the site properly cordoned off. Everything possible was done to avoid any information leaked to civilians and to other Chinese military (?) sections. The craft was slightly damaged and abandoned by its crew. It was about 10 meters long and about 2.5-3 meters in diameter. Its shape was cylindrical, with a very durable surface. Sophisticated equipment apparently used by alien entities was found inside the cabin, with chairs for 2 or 3 entities. The cylinder was loaded upon a platform on a flatbed truck or railroad carriage and moved to a must secured underground Government research installation in a military range southwest of Beijing under the Taihang-Shan Mountains. The alien spacecraft was subjected to extensive study and research. Another UFO, which crashed in 1973, was also stored at the site.
Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Anton Anfalov personal contacts.
He comments that the Taihang Shan Mountains contain a deep and sophisticated network of underground tunnels for Chinese strategic missiles, and that one part of that underground network was apparently used to hide a couple of crashed UFOs.

Dr. Anton A. Anfalov wrote to me:

Dear Patrick! [...] Please, add this data to your site (directly from me as the source): China 1982 crash case is certainly HOAX, nonsense, as well as the most others. [...] Sincerely Yours |
When I published the case file initially, on January 22, 2008, I wrote:
"Whether this case should be included in a catalogue which is altogether meant to be a catalogue of "encounters with humanoids" [ar1] while there is, strictly speaking, no encounter with humanoids is obviously opened. With regard to my catalogue, the policy is that any case which has been dubbed an encounter with humanoids, wrongly or rightly, is to be documented and discussed. In this occurrence, there is no encounter with the UFO occupants, but there is the assertion that the UFO was to have been occupied since it allegedly contained 'chairs.'"
"This point is of course far from being central with regard to this file, which does not have any credibility whatsoever. As explained with examples by Russian ufologist Boris Shurinov in his book "OVNIS en Russie - Les Deux Faces de l'Ufologie Russe" (UFOs in Russia - the two sides of Russian ufology), Guy Trédaniel publisher, France, 1995, 'the sensational is promoted to the detriment of the truth.'"
"Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue about another "UFO crash" of similar nature, at
www.ignaciodarnaude.galeon.com/avistamientos_ovnis/Humanoids%20Reports%201978-1989.doc
'More information is definitely needed on this case, possibly bogus per UFO researcher Anton Anfalov.'"
Shortly after the publication of the case file, on January 28, 2008, Dr. Anton Anfalov kindly wrote to me [aa1] that it was indeed just a plain hoax. I thanked him for the very useful contribution.
This also applies here.
