Indian scientist spots UFO

When a team of geologists went on an expedition to the Himalayas, they were hardly prepared for an encounter of a different kind. A scientist of the ISRO's Space Application Centre here, who was part of the team, now claims that the team members sighted an unidentified object at 14,500 feet that "could be a UFO." ISRO is now studying photographs of the 'object' taken by team members.

Anil Kulkarni, a marine and water resources scientist at SAC, said it could also be an object used for spying.

Members of the team, which also had professors from different universities and students, were on a mission to study the Samudra Tapu glacier.

Kulkarni says he is aware of some countries reportedly using spying devices like satellites, balloons and even flying objects. "We can confirm whether it is an object from outer space or a spying device only after the photos are analysed by experts and the other team members give their versions."

"It was around 6.45 am when one of the team members saw a balloon-like white object. He warned others mistaking it for a yeti. When we went closer, it was something different."
