It has been claimed that UFO has been seen near the airport of Imphal, the capital of Manipur. The Indian Air Force has come into action after the information that an unknown object was seen in the sky near Imphal Airport on 19 November. In search of UFO, Indian Air Force has sent 2 Rafale aircraft from Hasimara airbase in West Bengal. However, these planes did not get any information about UFOs.

Airport controllers in Imphal, Manipur saw some such things, after which high alert had to be declared at the airport.
