IAF radar spotted 'flying object' turns out false alarm

Indian Air Force (IAF) base in Nalia taluk of Kutch district, spotted a 'flying object' in the Indian air space yesterday but it turned out to be one of our own.
       
The incident took place around 18.00 hours yesterday, when the radars at the Nalia Air Force base, which is near the Indo-Pak border, picked up signals from a flying object in the Indian air space, they said.
       
"Following this, personnel on the air base were alerted in anticipation of some hostile activity. However, within a few minutes the flying object was identified as one of our own," defense sources added.
       
Nalia, on the Indo-Pak border is on high alert following inputs of possible terror strike from air.
       
Intelligence inputs ahead of the Republic Day on terror groups working to target Indian interests had warned about Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) acquiring over 50 para-gliding equipment that could be used to carry out air-borne suicide attacks in the country.
