"Something is clearly wrong, if our combined scientific resources can't explain the phenomena," says a senior Army official in Delhi. This has caused embarrassment rather than fear in the establishment. Yet, none of the experts from the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO)-in charge of technical intelligence-and Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO), has been able to identify the objects.

"The region is snowbound in winter, has few roads and is one of the most isolated places in India," says Sunil Dhar, a geologist at the government Post Graduate College in Dharamshala, who has studied glaciers in the region for 15 years. Scientists however say, the harsh geography and sparse demography of the great Himalayan range that separates Kashmir Valley from Ladakh, lends itself to unusual sightings. They did, however, say that the objects were "non celestial" and ruled out meteors and planets. The team spotted the flying objects, Army officials say, but could not conclusively establish what they were. In late September this year, a team of astronomers from the Indian Astronomical Observatory at Hanle, 150 km south of the lake, studied the airborne phenomena for three days. The drone reached its maximum altitude but lost sight of the floating object. The Army also flew a reconnaissance drone in the direction of the floating object, but it proved a futile exercise. The spectrum analyser could not detect any signals being emitted from them. The radar could not detect the object that was being tracked visually, in dicating it was non-metallic. In September, the Army moved a mobile ground-based radar unit and a spectrum analyser-that picks up frequencies emitted from any object-to a mountaintop near the 160-km-long, ribbon-shaped Pangong Lake that lies between India and China. The ITBP, did not respond to a detailed India Today questionnaire. The persistent sightings by the ITBP this year, however, worried the Army's Leh-based 14 Corps.

Such mysterious lights have been sighted before in Ladakh, a barren, 86,000 sq km heavily militarised zone wedged between Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir and Chinese-occupied Aksai Chin. Three of these drones intruded into territory claimed by India along the 365-km-long border with China in Ladakh, manned by ITBP. The Army has reported 99 sightings of Chinese drones between January and August this year: 62 sightings were reported in the western sector, the Ladakh region, and 37 in the eastern sector in Arunachal Pradesh. Drone sightings are verified and logged separately.
