This is not an individual’s figment of imagination though. The fact that a suspicious flying object was reported by two people, at different locations, is enough to order an inquiry into the matter. For now, the Indian Air Force has also been put on alert and have direct orders to shoot down any UFO or suspicious flying entity.
On October 29, an Air Vistara pilot from Bhubaneshwar complained that he was distracted by a laser beam at the time of landing. The flight was carrying hundreds of passengers at the time. Another sighting comes straight from the Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower where an Indian Air Force (IAF) member noticed a flying object at approximately 10:44 AM IST on October 30. He reported seeing two more objects, at 10:50 AM IST and 10:55 AM IST, respectively.
Despite claiming to see a UFO/drone, no concrete evidence was discovered to support the claims. Officers of the Intelligence Bureau, Bureau for Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), Delhi Police, and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) met to discuss the event and the IAF has been advised to keep strict vigil.
It is interesting to note that the Delhi Police has prohibited the use of any laser beams or similar objects, by an individual or group, in and around the IGI airport. If eye-witness incidents are to be believed, this is a direct violation of the law. But the more important question is about the origins of these flying objects and laser beams.
Some mysterious space junk, dubbed a UFO, is about to crash into the Indian Ocean on November 13, 2015. But the sightings at IGI were no ordinary space debris. It will be naive of us to dismiss this as an act of mischief. But to fuel theories regarding UFO sightings will only please the conspiracy camp, and upset the other lot.
