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.
AN ENVELOPE A PIECE OF PAPER LIST OF ADDRESSES INSIDE THE ENVELOPE I was part of a successful newspaper at Gangtok; the weekly newspaper “Weekend Review” was then considered the third party in Sikkim after the Sikkim Democratic Front led by Pawan Chamling and Congress led by N B. Bhandari, former Chief Minister of Sikkim. I had just completed my graduation when I got a chance to join the big-wig WR team. It took me a week to decide, and I was a news reporter. Even then, my primary concern was looking for Sikkim's old history. The new job was interesting, challenging, and more of an adventure. I never knew what I would do the next day or where I would be. I was only told to file a report to the newspaper office at Gangtok every Thursday. I was associated with the WR team for more than two years till our editor was replaced, and I found it uncomfortable to work with the new editor. His lack of journalism ethics made me leave WR.

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.
