CIA-UAP-016, Sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects in Ladakh, Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan 

▮ AI SYNOPSIS · Sonnet 4.6

This is a four-page CIA Information Report, dated 11 April 1968 (distributed 1968), covering seven UFO sightings across Ladakh, northeast Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan between 19 February and 25 March 1968. The document is classified Confidential with controlled and no-foreign-dissem restrictions. It was later routed through Wright-Patterson AFB (HQFTD/NIIB) in June 1974 as part of a broader database search. Sightings include fast-moving luminous objects emitting red, green, and white light; thunder-like sounds following sightings; smoke trails; and objects moving at estimated altitudes of 20,000–25,000 feet. The most striking entry reports a metallic disc-shaped object roughly six feet wide and four feet tall recovered from a crater near Pokhara, Nepal, with additional fragments found at Talakot and Miropasel.

The physical recovery claim at Pokhara is the most significant element and is not corroborated by other documentation visible in this record. A more heavily redacted version of this report was previously available on the CIA's public website; this PURSUE release restores additional text, including the physical object description. The source of the sightings data is redacted. The 1974 routing indicates this record was actively indexed at Wright-Patterson, home of the Air Force's Foreign Technology Division, suggesting it was reviewed in connection with technical analysis programs. No conclusions or follow-up assessments appear in the visible pages.

A 1968 report about UFO sightings in Ladakh, Nepal, Sikkim and Bhutan. Seven UFO sightings are listed that took place between 19 Feb. to 25 Mar. 1968. A more redacted version of the report has been available on CIA's public website.
