Overview

A story was supposedly published in the Russian newspaper Sputnik about stones discovered in China known as the Dropa Stones. In the 1962 a Chinese scientist attempted to decipher the hieroglyphics on the stones and claimed that they told the story of a crash landing spacecraft in China 12,000 years ago. The alien beings were from the Sirius star system and survived the crash.

However, similar discs called Jade Bi Discs are a regular part of Chinese burial sites of the wealthy. Because of the age of the discs, the glyphic language on them is unknown so translation is very difficult. In the 1960s Russian scientist got a hold of the discs and rumors spread that they discovered that they held electrical properties that could be used for interstellar communication. Unfortunately, the discs vanished after the Russians finished with them and their location is unknown today. Some claim that because the discs can not be found, and the authors of the various stories in Russia, China, and Eastern Europe can not be traced, that the entire story is a hoax. Believers claim that the cultural revolution of Mao Tse-Tung caused the discs to either become lost or destroyed.
