'Tennis ball-sized Chinese UFOs' put India on edge

Author Henry Stevens, while doing research for his book "Hitler's Flying Saucers", received a number of documents under the Freedom of Information Act referring to "phoo bombs".  Originally known as "foo fighters" by pilots and the press in the 1940's, these metallic flying balls turned out to be electromagnetic weapons designed to shut down enemy engines.  That an updated version might now be making the rounds makes perfect sense.

Top security brass of the Indian government is battling a "mysterious" threat from the Chinese side these days: tennis ball-sized UFOs.
Hundreds of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have been sighted inside the Indian territory bordering China in recent months, raising security concerns.
The issue, initially dubbed a minor one, has turned serious as India prepares to raise it at the diplomatic level with China.

The Indian government has decided to raise the issue of the UFOs with China at the diplomatic level in a meeting being scheduled later this month

Sources said a meeting of the boundary coordination mechanism - a high-level official mechanism set up by the two sides to ensure that the boundary incidents between their armed forces do not escalate - is being scheduled later this month where the issue of "luminous objects" will be at the centre of the discussion.
The Indian delegation will be led by Gautam Bambawale, the head of the China desk in the external affairs ministry, while China will be represented by its director general, department of boundary and oceanic affairs. Security officials from both sides will participate in the meeting.
Highly-placed sources said over 150 such incidents have been reported in the last three months and that India's protests at the local border personnel meeting with the Chinese have met with a cursory denial.
The government's decision to raise the 'UFO' issue at the diplomatic level follows a detailed report from the Defence Research and Development Organisation and the Indian Army, and a spectrum analyser's attempts to ascertain what the objects are. Surprisingly, the radar could not detect these objects, indicating that they are non-metallic.
Also, the spectrum analyser could not detect any signals emitted by them. The army flew a reconnaissance drone in the direction of the floating objects, but it didn't yield anything substantial.

"Earlier these reports coming from various sectors of the boundary were sketchy but now we have definite proof of these yellowish spheres coming from the Chinese side; and our concerns will be raised," a source said.
According to the reports, in Ladakh sector, such an object was sighted in Thakung post on October 21 for around eight hours. It had an "intense continuous flash light."
