While replying in the Upper House, the DoNER minister said that natives most often mistake aircraft movement or other ‘dynamical process in the atmosphere that mimics a moving object’ for UFOs.
Notably, last year in the month of October, mysterious video of an UFO in the skies of Manipur had caught the fancy of the locals as it went viral.
When the DoNER Minister was asked if the government would make a thorough investigation into the matter, Dr Singh replied that if any evidence is found then the ISRO could carry out a study in this regard.
