WP:NFRINGE applies here and, unfortunately, I think this article clearly fails. The one mainstream sources is an instance from a "News of the Weird"-type article in the Chinese sensationalist press. Simply not notable enough for an article because independent sources commenting on this "incident" are not forthcoming. jps (talk) 18:55, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable. Someone found a box and they aren't sure what it is. Bhny (talk) 19:00, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Just when I think ufology can't get any more untrustworthy, up bubbles this bit of fakelore, oft repeated on fringe forums and conspiracy sites, but ultimately untraceable to any reliable source. - LuckyLouie (talk) 21:09, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails GNG. No coverage in reliable sources, only in blogs and UFO fansites Philg88 ^♦talk 14:09, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
