China Scientists to Probe 'ET' Launch Tower
ABC NEWS ONLINE Wed Jun 19, 7:06 AM ET
BEIJING (Reuters) - A team of Chinese scientists is to head out to the far west of the
country to investigate a mystery pyramid that local legend says is a launch tower left by
aliens from space, Xinhua news agency said Wednesday.
Nine scientists would probe origins of the 165 to 198-foot tall structure -- dubbed
"the ET relics" -- in the western province of Qinghai this month, the agency
said.
It sits on Mount Baigong, has three caves with triangular openings on its facade and is
filled with red-hued pipes leading into the mountain and a nearby salt water lake, Xinhua
said. Rusty iron scraps, pipes and unusually shaped stones were scattered around the
inhospitable and largely uninhabited area, it said.
A research fellow at a nearby observatory of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences said
the theory the pyramid was created by extra terrestrials was "understandable and
worth looking into," it added
Xinhua did not report any details on the age of the structure, or any other possible
explanations for it. END
