Army troops deployed along the China border from Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh have reported more than 100 sightings of “Unidentified Flying Objects” (UFOs) in the past three months. Agencies like the army and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) have not yet been able to identify these objects.
The 14 Corps, which looks after military deployment along Kargil-Leh and looks after the frontiers with China, has sent reports to the army headquarters about the UFO sightings by an ITBP unit in Thakung near the Pangong Tso Lake. Reports suggested that these yellowish spheres lift off from the horizon on the Chinese side and traverse the sky for three to five hours before disappearing. Army officials have expressed concern over the inability of agencies to identify the objects, which some believe could be Chinese surveillance equipment.
The officials confirmed that these UFOs were not Chinese drones or satellites. They said the army had also moved a mobile ground-based radar unit and a spectrum analyser to verify the object’s identity, but could not detect the object that was being tracked visually, indicating it was non-metallic.
Sources said similar reports of UFO sightings had emerged about five-six years ago , but the matter was not taken up at higher levels.
