civilian-claim2012· Pangong Lake, Ladakh, India
Between August and October 2012, an Indo-Tibetan Border Police unit near Pangong Lake, Ladakh, logged over 100 sightings of luminous yellowish spheres rising from the Chinese side of the line and traversing the sky for three to five hours. A mobile radar unit and spectrum analyzer deployed to the site detected no metallic signature and no electromagnetic emissions. Indian astronomical observers confirmed the objects were 'non-celestial.'
Reports went formally to 14 Corps headquarters in Leh and to the Prime Minister's Office in New Delhi. ISRO, DRDO, and the National Technical Research Organization were all consulted and could not identify the objects. An earlier 2010 Indian Air Force investigation of similar sightings had attributed them to Chinese lanterns, but the 2012 objects behaved differently and persisted for hours on repeated nights.
