Date	Local Time	Area over which seen	Direction of flight	Particulars of the object
19 February 1968	Between 2100 & 2115	Walungchung-Gala and Ghunsa area	North-East to South-West	A fact-moving object, long and thin, emitting red and green bright light, as bright as to cause daylight. Thunder sound heard after few seconds of sighting of object.
19 February 1968	Between 2100 & 2115	Lachung, Lachen, Thangu, Mugutha and Chholham	This information is rather confusing. Direction was reported as being from Southeast to North-west over Thungkarla, Lachung, Lachen & Muguthang. Over Chhamo and Sese La, the direction was reportedly from North-east to South-west. The latter direction coincides with the one over Nepal and is likely to be more correct since the date and timing of the flight of object also coincide.	This object giving light from tail. It is light enough to brighten the entire area. Thunder sound was heard after sighting the object.
