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.

The thick white smokey lines that were observed on different parts of Sikkim last November again reappeared today. The unidentified smokey lines that passed through the heart of the Singtam bazaar to the other side of the hill were witnessed by large crowds at around 7.37 am this morning.  Shekher Pradhan who took the photographs told that the object did not have any sound and could not be identified whether it was a fighter plane or not. He added the object had its white smokes following a path and it took a little over 5 minutes to cross the Singtam sky. It should be noted that similar smokey lines were reported from the places of  Ravangla, Namthang, Singtam, and even Gangtok last November that was followed by reporting of 5 UFO-like objects at Sombaria.
