China, which on its way to emerge as a Space Superpower, claims be the first nation to make contact with alien life using the world's largest radio dish. According to researchers, the dish, a 500-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope, is about twice the size of the US' Arecibo Observatory and can detect signals from the deepest depths of space. In 2016, China became a space exploration powerhouse after it fired its brand new lab Tiangong 2 into low orbit — joining the US and Russia. China made the move following numerous dozens of suspected-extraterrestrial encounters, including the claims that a UFO was seen over the Great Wall of China last week, reports Daily Star.
