UFO photo China, 1942

(UFO spotted over China)

Apparently a young Japanese student by the name of  Masujiro Kiryu found this photo while going through some of his fathers scrapbook and was surprised to see a cone shaped object in the sky above the street. Now, at first glance, it may look like a bird flying above the street but if you notice some people are starring up and some even pointing at the object now, in all seriousness, how many people stop in the middle of the street and point at a bird.

There has been speculation over when this photo was taken, some people claim it was taken in 1911 and others say 1942 but i did a bit of research and found this information taken from Wendelle Steven's "UFOs over Modern China" in which it states:

"Young Japanese student Masujiro Kiryu, going through his fathers scrapbook of photographs from the China Campaign, just before World War II, discovered a strange cone-shaped object in the sky above a Tsientsien Street. A number of people in the street are looking up and two are pointing up at the object. A sidewalk photographer snapped a picture of the strange machine and his father bought it from the street vendor for a souvenir of the place" 

So what do you think? is it genuine? is it a real UFO?
