DO strange looking objects hover over your horizon? Do spacecraft land in your garden? Or are you, as one man in Heilongjiang province claims, being romantically pursued by a visitor from Jupiter? If so, Chen Yanchun, director of the UFO Society of China, wants to hear from you.
Established 15 years ago after some Wuhan University students formed China's first UFO research club, the society now has a membership of 4,000, mainly scientists, but also sportsmen and journalists.
No longer is the group seen as a bunch of dilettantes. Over the summer, the society held an international UFO conference in Beijing with participants from Hong Kong, Japan, the United States and Taiwan.
It has also won official acknowledgement, having been recognised recently by the Government as a legal entity.
'The Government pays more attention to us because decision-makers are more interested in listening to scientists,' said Mr Chen, who has a doctorate from the Beijing Aviation and Space University.
Sightings of UFOs are recorded in ancient Chinese history. During the Jin Dynasty, in 315 AD, one scribe wrote that a 'sun' fell to the earth, and three others were seen flying towards the east.
