Chinese military uses AI to track UFOs

Chinese military scientists have turned to artificial intelligence (AI) to track and analyze unidentified flying objects appearing in the country.
South China Morning Post On June 5, it was reported that the Chinese military’s combat unit in charge of tracking unidentified flying objects uses AI technology to synthesize and analyze data collected from various sources.

Chen Li, an expert from the Wuhan Air Force Early Warning Academy, said that the AI ​​can collect small pieces of information from different data sets at various times and places, creating links between different regions. pieces of information that humans cannot see. As a result, the data collected could help the Chinese military identify the flying object as belonging to a hostile state, amateur aviation enthusiasts, or appearing for “other reasons”.

At the most basic level, military radar stations, air force pilots, meteorological observation stations, and scientific research facilities are tasked with collecting as much raw data as possible. This data is then processed at the regional command level, before being transferred into a national database. With the help of AI technology, the Chinese military can build a set of “threat index” to evaluate flying objects, based on behavior, frequency of operation, aerodynamic design. , radiation levels, construction materials, as well as any other indication of the object. To date, China has only once officially confirmed the observation of an unidentified flying object. The incident occurred in the airspace above an airbase in Cangzhou, Hebei on October 19, 1998. The object is described as a mushroom, with two beams of light in the abdomen. When the Chinese fighter tried to approach, the object flew very quickly to an altitude of more than 20,000 m, then it disappeared from the radar screen as well as the pilot’s view.
