Throughout the 80s, multiple children saw the same, weirdly small aircrafts throughout rural China, which came to light via a viral forum thread decades later, are these similar recollections false memories or actually connected?

In the early 1980s, a child in rural Liaoning witnessed something impossible—a tiny airplane, no bigger than a toy, gliding silently under a clothesline before vanishing into the sky. Decades later, they posted about it online, expecting skepticism. Instead, hundreds replied: "I saw it too." From white-and-blue airliners to red fighter jets, silver crosses to bus-like crafts, witnesses across China described eerily similar encounters—some even claiming to see tiny figures inside.

Was this a case of mass hallucination? A glitch in collective memory? Or something far stranger lurking behind these impossible sightings?
This is the bizarre true story of China’s unexplained miniature aircraft phenomenon—a mystery that refuses to stay buried.
