Indian police report UFOs over nuclear plants over 10 times in August

Senior law enforcement in India investigated and video-taped eerie UFO sightings over nuclear plants across the Asian nation last year, a local news report revealed. 

One witness, a police sub-inspector and engineer by training, said he was ‘100-percent sure’ the object he taped, with its high-speed ‘zigzag movements,’ could not be explained by human tech. 

India’s brush with nuke-curious mystery objects follows years of growing attention to the issue in Washington DC — as Pentagon insiders, military veterans and Capitol Hill legislators have pursued ominous UFO incursions dating back to the Cold War.

This February, UFO researchers dropped the bombshell that an ex-Pentagon UFO investigator had privately briefed Congress on a stunning 1964 incident where a UFO blasted an Atlas missile carrying a dummy nuclear warhead out of the sky.

But, reports of these 2023 incidents in India were allegedly less hostile. 

The roughly dozen or so incidents all involved apparent craft loitering oddly near the Kudankulam nuclear plant at the southern tip of the subcontinent and the Madras atomic power station near Kalpakkam along the country’s east coast.

Police sub-inspector Syed Abdul Kader, assigned to the technical wing of the service’s Tirunelveli office an hour’s drive north of the Kudankulam nuclear plant, told UFO expert Sabir Hussain he filmed two videos of unusual airborne phenomena.

‘The way it stood still, the way it made zigzag movements and the speed in which it disappeared,’ Kader told reporters for the English-language Indian daily DT Next, ‘all were different.’

Confirming his conversations with Hussain, Kader told DT Next that he had personally spotted UFOs near the southern coast town of Kudankulam since 2020.

‘After meeting UFO tracker Sabir and discussing with him,’ he told the paper, ‘I am more than 100-percent sure what I saw were UFOs.’ 

Kader’s 2023 sightings to the south, overlapped with weeks of sightings in July and August up the eastern coast along the Neelankarai-Mahabalipuram shoreline.

That region, near the bustling city of Chennai, is home to the Madras Atomic Power Station (MAPS) in Kalpakkam. 

Kader’s video-taped sightings, Hussain told DT Next, ‘happened just 10 days after former DGP [Director General of Police] Prateep V. Philip took pictures of a UFO on [the] Muttukadu sea shore near Chennai.’ 

Philip’s rank of DGP is the highest position attainable in the Indian Police Service.

Despite an official Pentagon UFO report to Congress this year, which attempted to dispel whistleblower allegations of a secret and illegal UFO crash retrieval program, senior members of the US Senate continue to pursue subpoena power to investigate the issue.

The Pentagon’s report, produced by the Department of Defense’s UFO-hunting All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), was preceded by a largely hobbled effort by lawmakers to pass a sweeping UFO ‘disclosure’ amendment — designed to grant authority to an independent panel that would then be tasked with scouring deeply buried clandestine information for the truth about UFOs.   

As Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who sponsored the bill, told The New York Times: ‘It is really an outrage the House [of Representatives] didn’t work with us on adopting our proposal for a review board.

‘It means that declassification of UAP records will be largely up to the same entities that have blocked and obfuscated their disclosure for decades.’

‘We got ripped off. We got completely hosed. They stripped out every part,’ said Congressman Tim Burchett, one of the House lawmakers most vocal on the issue of UFO disclosure.

While the watered-down version of the bill has meant that the Pentagon and US intelligence agencies can determine on their own what information about these mysterious sightings can be kept secret for now, Congress plans to seriously revisit the issue again later the year.  

‘It’s just a matter of priorities right now,’ Senator Mike Rounds, who co-sponsored the bill with Sen. Schumer, told Capitol Hill reporter Matt Laslo this March. ‘We have an interest in pursuing somethings like that.’
