India has a rich history of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), with significant sightings reported in regions like Kongka La Pass in Ladakh, where over 100 luminous objects were observed by the Indian Army in 2012. More recently, a UFO sighting led to the suspension of flight operations at Imphal Airport in Manipur in November 2023, prompting the Indian Air Force (IAF) to scramble two Rafale fighter jets. Unlike the United States, India does not have a public database for UAP reports, with most incidents classified due to national security concerns. However, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chief S Somanath has expressed belief in the existence of technologically advanced extraterrestrial life, marking a shift from previous skepticism. As global interest in UFO transparency grows, India may face pressure to disclose more about its own encounters, especially as sightings increase in the Indo-Pacific region.
