These photographs shared by Prashant Pandey, a student of East Point SSS show the cloudy trails left by the object that passed through Singtam today. The photograph was taken from Lower Sawaney, West Pandam.
This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi." This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama. The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.

The cloudy trails look like one normally caused by over-flight of a jet plane at very high altitude. Actually the No 2 Squdaron IAF with their Brand New Sukhoi 30 MKI has just been deployed to Tezpur in Assam in defence of the Eastern Part of India, and currently they must be doing a lot of flights all along their area of responsibility including Sikkim and AP, for area familiarization and evolving tactics and training. Hence, this could be the possible explanation for large number of sightings of aircraft, identified or otherwise. These are new high performance jets with more capabilities that previous gen aircraft lacked, hence the confusion regarding the sightings. In addition a large number of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehciles) have been inducted into the Army and Airforce and while previously they were only deployed on the Pakistan border, now they are being increasing deployed on the Chinese border too, due to increasing threat perception, this also could be attributed to the UFO sighting being reported lately. The UAVs are particularly small, have a some shaped forward structure and fly low and are highly maneuverable, hence confusing them as UFOs could be quite normal. Just wanted to provide some plausible explanation, before people seriously start panicking or spreading rumors of Extra terrestrial sightings. I am not discounting them, but the explanations I have sighted above could be the case in reality as well.
ReplyDeleteHope I made some sense,

Small correction above, in the sentence, "The UAVs are particularly small, have a some shaped forward structure and fly low and are highly maneuverable" I meant dome shaped.
