NEW DELHI: There is no conclusive proof of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) flying over the India-China border, but government is monitoring all developments in the neighbourhood which could have a bearing on national security, defence minister A K Antony on Monday said.

He gave the information in a written reply in the Lok Sabha to a question as to whether Army's Leh-based 14 Corps had reported about mysterious UFOs flying over the India-China border during the last three years.

Assuring the House of the measures taken by government, Antony said, "Required measures have been initiated through development of infrastructure and operational capabilities to achieve desired levels of defence preparedness to safeguard the sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of India."

This minister's response is a classic example burreaucrat-speak dodging of the issue. He says absolutely nothing about the UFO sightings.   To read more, click here.
