If you think this is science fiction, think again! Nong Youhui from China has the strange ability to see in the dark. It might seem like a part from some Hollywood sci-fi movie (Charles Xavier? Think X-men!) but as the Chinese CCTV media reports, his ability isn’t a joke.

His glow-in-the-dark eyes prompted Nong’s father to take him to a hospital in Southern China where the doctors were stunned to realize that the boy’s eyes seem to glow like a cat. He even took a test to read in the dark – which he aced.

Watch the Chinese CCTV report on Nong Youhui the boy with glowing eyes!
