An unknown object which apparently fell from the sky and left a big hole on the ground, has baffled local residents of a Chinese village.

According to a shocking report by Dailymail, the strange object landed on the top of the mountain with a loud bang on December 12 in Zhangjiapan village in the Shaanxi Province.

It was gathered that the crater was burning when some residents rushed over but mysteriously, no object was reportedly found in the hole. Some people have linked the incident with a UFO.

The crater reportedly measured one metre long (3.2 feet) and 50 centimetres wide (1.6 feet).

A villager, surnamed Zhang, told a reporter of HSW.cn that he heard a deep sound in the sky at around 1pm on Friday.

He looked up and saw an object rapidly falling towards the mountain, the villager said.

'[It] made a loud bang when it hit the ground. Then it started burning. The dry grass nearby was quickly set aflame,' Zhang added.

The police of Fugu county, which manages the village, said they had found objects that might be related to the incident in three locations, according to People's Daily Online.

All of the locations were in the south-western part of Fugu county. Among them, one was a large metal ring, said the police. Letters and numbers could be seen marked on the surface.

The mysterious incident has attracted thousands of comments from Chinese netizens on QQ.com, a major portal in China. Many are guessing what the object could be, with some suggesting it could be a part of a UFO.

'It must have fallen from a crashed alien spacecraft,' one such person wrote while another one said 'the ring looks like the door of a UFO cabin'.

'It must have been the wheel of an alien's vehicle,' another user suggested.

A web user asked: 'Are they parts of Shenzhou 11 spacecraft?' 'It probably came from a failed time-traveller,' another user commented.

As at the time of filing this report, no injuries have been reported.
