Airport Director Fu Yaonan said on the 15th that the tower flight controller thought that the light spot had a color change and was suspected of being an unidentified aircraft.

Fu Yaonan told reporters that the flight attendant on duty at the airport received a notification from the tower at 6:38 pm on the 14th that there was a light spot in the south of the airport that was suspected of being an unidentified aircraft. The flight attendant on duty at the
airport first went to the outer ring road of the airport for visual inspection, and then cooperated with the controller instructor to go to the tower to observe. The controller instructor believed that the light spot had different color changes and slow movement, and believed that it was an unidentified aircraft.
However, Fu Yaonan said that the flight attendant on duty at the airport believed that the atmosphere may cause some optical color changes, and that the stars and the earth themselves are rotating and their positions will change slowly, so they were determined to be stars.

The
airport stated that it was not until 7:40 pm that the air crew instructors helped confirm that the light spots were stars, and the duty desk notified the tower through a dedicated line that the airport resumed normal takeoffs and landings, but it also gave relevant personnel a false alarm.
Airport said that flights affected by the suspension of takeoffs and landings, including flights returning to Kaohsiung from Japan, were diverted to Taoyuan International Airport and did not return to Xiaogang Airport until 9:30 pm. Another flight from Magong to Kaohsiung was also delayed in landing. time.
