A businessman from Taiwan travelling in south-west China captured a beautiful picture of the famous Lake Dian in Yunnan Province during his trip.

But after examining it once he got home to Taipei, he spotted something strange: a doughnut-shaped craft hovering in the sky above the water.

"It just has to be a UFO. It's a strange doughnut shape in the sky," said 44-year-old John Chen of the picture he took.

Mr Chen showed the picture to a UFO expert here in the UK who said he couldn't be completely sure what it was - calling the picture an "open verdict".

The mysterious object has ridged sides and appears to be suspended in mid-air.

"The strange thing is I didn't see it at the time. It was my wife's sister who spotted them. She said there was something in the pictures and I just thought she was joking," Mr Chen said.

What was even stranger was that when Mr Chen compared the pictures with those of his colleagues - who had also been snapping away at the lake that day - the UFO didn't appear anywhere else.

British UFO expert Philip Mantle was sent the images but hasn't been able to reach a definitive verdict on them yet.

"What I can say is that the photographer in question here has always cooperated and seems to be genuinely puzzled by the images on his photos,"
