Meet India’s UFO Hunters

Updated on May 07, 2017 01:56 pm IST

In January 2017, the CIA declassified and shared 930,000 documents on its website. One of these included a document from 1968 detailing six UFO sightings in India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Indian UFO sightings thereafter have been sporadic compared to countries like the US and Russia. But this relative paucity does not deter a small (but determined) community of UFO investigators in India. What does the work of an Indian UFOlogist entail? What drives them? What are the strangest cases they've encountered, and how has their search impacted other areas of their lives? These are their stories.
