Flight operations at Bir Tikendrajit International Airport in Imphal, Manipur, were disrupted after an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) was observed.
What is UFO?
Definition of Unidentified Flying Object: Coined by the US Air Force in 1952, UFOs refer to any apparent aerial phenomenon whose cause cannot be easily or immediately identified by the observer.”
Originally, Unidentified Flying Objects were objects under investigation, but the term now casually describes any unidentifiable object.
US Government Involvement:
Project Blue Book, from 1952 to 1969, compiled over 12,000 Unidentified Flying Object reports, classifying only 6% as unidentified.
Recent government reports (2021) find limited data on sightings inconclusive, with patterns observed around US training and testing grounds.
UAPs: A Broader Term
Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) is a newer term replacing Unidentified Flying Object to avoid confusion and speculation.
Used by the Pentagon and NASA to refer to unidentified anomalous phenomena.
NASA commissions a study team to examine UAPs scientifically, focusing on data identification and collection.
