Date	Local Time	Area over which seen	Direction of flight	Particulars of the object
Bhutan
21 February 1968	2130	Thimpu	East to West. However since due east of Thimpu there is nothing but Indian territory the direction of flight could well be from North-east to South-west, that is, from the direction of Tibet.	A bluish colored object moving at high speed without any noise. It was bright enough to brighten the area.

25 March 1968	2150	Fukche, Koyul, Demchok	Appeared from Chang La side and was seen moving towards Demochok, i.e. from north to south. Rocket-like object leaving white-yellow trail about 20 y long at a height of 20-25,000 feet.
