Indian Fighter Jets Just ‘Shot Down A UFO’

The Indian Air Force said that its fighter jets had shot down a UFO this week over the northern state of Rajasthan.

Fighter jets were scrambled after the mysterious ‘balloon-shaped’ object was detected on IAF radar - and UFO fans have gone wild after the IAF were strangely silent after the incident.

Scott C Waring of UFO Sightings Daily says, ‘Its not everyday a UFO gets shot down. This one is thought to be a balloon with a bomb tied to it. It looks like a giant cloud orb to me. Sometimes if they are struck by lightning, they can malfunction and fall to the earth.

‘This one…disintegrated except for two sharp finger size metal objects. Its was a enough of a threat that they called out fighter jets to shoot it down. At 9 feet in diameter (3 meters) it would be hard not to see.’

Other observers suggest that the object may have been a weather balloon.

A statement from the Indian Air Force said that the ‘balloon-shaped’ UFO was picked up by radar on Tuesday, and a Sukhoi Su-30 MKI fighter jet was scrambled to intercept it.

‘Between 10.30 and 11 am today an unidentified balloon-shaped object was picked up by the Indian Air Force (IAF) radar,’ an official statement said..

‘An IAF fighter was launched, which intercepted the object and brought it down. Materials have been retrieved and further investigation is ongoing.’
