The Indian Air Force on Sunday sent two Rafale fighter jets after receiving information about the sighting of an “unidentified flying object” (UFO) near the Imphal airport in Manipur on Sunday.
Launched from the Hasimara air base, the two Rafales could not spot anything. The first aircraft returned to the base and the second was deployed towards the area to check again, but it could not find anything.
The Eastern Command of the Indian Air Force said that it had activated its air defence response mechanism.
