Chi yan teng kong
Chi yan teng kong (赤焰騰空), literally meaning "red flame take off", was a painting by Wu You-ru (吳友如) that it is claimed depicted the first graphical account of a UFO incident in Qing dynasty China.[1]
Description
[edit]The painting showed crowds gathered near Nanjing's Confucius temple looking up at a "fireball" in the sky.[1][2] The incident occurred in 1892, which is reported as the 18th year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign.[3] Wu You-ru wrote the date and time on the painting as the 9th month 28th day, 8pm.[4] The month reported is likely not the Gregorian calendar, since the Chinese calendar was used up until the end of the Qing era.[citation needed]
