An expert is debunking the story of a UFO spotted in China on October 5 and 6. The object was allegedly spotted by former TV reporter, Wu Xiaodong Yi.

Yi describes seeing it on October 5 over Hong Kong and coming back the next day to catch it on camera. The video of the UFO has been attached above.

It has been described as diamond shaped, with flickering lights and changing colors.

However, the Huffington Post explains that the UFO is just the planet Jupiter. It was visible in the Hong Kong area at the time.

"I consulted software, and when I looked at Hong Kong, noted that my suspicions were true - Jupiter was visible over Hong Kong that night. Jupiter is often mistaken for a UFO," analyst Marc Dantonio writes.
