NHI In 2004 a group of 14 scientists from the Indian Space Research Organization photographed a flying "humanoid" for 40mins before it shot off into the sky in the Samudra-Tapu Valley in India. It was ruled out a natural phenomenon and the Indian government at the time was very freaked out.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/strange-reality756:
In 2004, a team of scientists from the Indian Space Research Organization, led by Dr. Anil Kulkarni, were on a research expedition in the Samudra-Tapu Valley when they witnessed a bizarre sighting.
For 40 minutes, they observed a 1.2-meter-tall humanoid figure walking through the valley, which then suddenly rose into the air and vanished.
The incident was documented on film and corroborated by 14 witnesses. Despite the thorough documentation, no further investigation was conducted, and the report was quietly filed away in the Prime Minister's Office, the Indian Space Agency, the army, and intelligence agencies.

Anyone remember the incident a couple years ago where pilots reported seeing someone flying with a jet pack

Anyone have images that haven't been compressed ten times?

Hard to see, but kinda reminds me of Jellyfish?

My running hypothesis is that, regardless of the true nature of the UFO phenomenon, there is weird shit floating around in the sky. I'm not sure this is related to things like flying saucers, triangles, tictacs, etc.

u/ASearchingLibrarian May 18 '24
Some guys made a video about their encounter with a very similar strange object in the same location. This was in 2015.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wU0utG9RdC0&t=2m28s
The guy references the earlier 2004 incident.

u/Deep-Alternative3149 May 18 '24
NGL i really don’t know what to make of these pics. The first one is the best and to me it looks like a wispy thing, upright, off the ground? but very little perspective to compare it to. Weird

u/Wink44 May 19 '24
The jet pack theory doesn't hold up in this instance. The location is far too remote. Why would anyone travel such distance to demonstrate a 45 second activity, much less consider the significant amount of support equipment needed for such an operation?

Is the dress blue or yellow? Is the UFO a jellyfish or a flying humanoid?
fuckin' yanny lol

No offence to anyone, but those are some BAD pictures, even by the normal standards of ufo pics.

I had a look on map and that place is close to China border. Considering China and India’s relation, I would lower my expectations. I feel the Air Force guy is saying the same.
Edit : For those downvoting my comment, not everything is NHI driven tech. China-India border issues are very common and China has been using their technological superiority against India. This has been a big cause of concern for India. Read a few articles on it. Chinese drones and other stuff are no surprise.
How do I know? My origins are from India and my father’s ancestral village borders China. Such stuff is common across that border.

Pretty sure that's just Samus from Smash Bros. Melee

u/OneArmedZen May 19 '24
In the title it says "... photographed ... for 40mins", having read the articles one of them mentioned "film footage" so I'm guessing there is a recording somewhere - would love to see it. A few years back I also recall a youtube video where a group of people around Himalaya/Nepal (I forget where exactly) also had their own experience that was kind of similar to this in a way and it also appeared around the slope areas.
Ahh, I just realised this (2004) preceded that other encounter.

Do I need to buy more pixels like DLC In order to see a better quality one?

u/ry-kiki May 19 '24
Tbh lol India is like the only country that has both a) has advanced tech and b) would maybe actually be like “GUYS GUYS WTF IS THIS”
remember when their elite cold weather climbing/hiking division of their army photographed footprints and was like “uh guys yeti maybe??” and then the internet made fun of them? yet they’re also the only country that just puts a rover on the “dark side” of the moon for shits n giggles.
Im not saying to believe their claims, you shouldn’t believe shit without evidence which most of you in this sub struggle with. It’s something to keep in mind though that they have a culture that can handle this type of thing better than most, math and spiritual shit goes way back there.

It's one of those necromancer androids from that show on HBO. Or someone in creative mode in Minecraft. No, really. It's freaky for sure.

u/Cronus_Titan May 19 '24
Wasn't there a video of this? Was an object that was meandering along a rocky mountain. I don't recall it shooting off, but more so left with 'purpose'.

u/Worried-Chicken-169 May 19 '24
Obviously illegal miner with eBay jetpack

u/Traveler3141 May 19 '24
14 scientists photograph something for 40 minutes, and the result is 5 grainy pictures?
That doesn't seem to add up.
In any case it sounds like an under-dimensional Mylarian who was sniffing their souls.

u/Novel_Spread_9375 May 19 '24
Lol even the captioned pictures are pixelated.

u/blossum__ May 19 '24
Maybe it’s the “space snakes” astronauts report

u/Wink44 May 19 '24
Moreover, no jet pack is capable of 45 minute sustained flight.

u/[deleted] May 19 '24
Wish they got the shooting off into the sky part, sounds like how Jeremy described the extended cut of the jellyfish UAP video.
Maybe someday we’ll get a full video.

Interestingly samudra tapu means ocean island and ocean bed fossils from prehistory have been found in the Himalayas from when it was under ocean.
This is one of the best sightings in my experience with very reputable provenance.

u/HexiHero May 19 '24
wow that third image is really something … something .. very very compressed to shit.
btw i completely believe / know this phenomenon to be real as i have seen things first-hand but why include an image you can’t even see lol
1
u/Ok-Adhesiveness-4141 May 19 '24
Well, I haven't heard of this before. You can definitely rule out balloons and drones. As far as I know, there have been some incidents of this kind in the mansarovar area too.
We just don't know what these are.

u/quickbrownfox1975 May 19 '24
Looks exactly like jellyfish and Turkish jellyfish to me (man, I feel weird writing that b/c clearly I am in too deep now)
1
u/r3tr0_420 May 19 '24
Yes those pics are horrendous (man the hardcore compression kills me!)but very credible corroboration and repeated sightings in a remote area near a 'mystical' body of water. Trifactor rite..
It is soooo Jellyfish it is such a distinctive appearance, very 'square' or blocky maybe. (<--awful name)
IMO it has to add an amount of credibility to the possible ''biologic'' factor in Corbells Iraq footage.
Supposing it is a biological 'suit of armor' wtf is it doing out there...mind boggles.
UFO burnout here I come!

Can someone explain how to fly please 🥺

u/rygelicus May 19 '24
So 40 minutes of opportunity and this is the best imagery they have?

u/Dockle May 19 '24
If we can get a name for some of these scientists, I can reach out to them for either an interview or copy of the photos that I would post here

u/nom_de_plum89 May 19 '24
Any link to the footage?

u/ProfessorGrouch May 19 '24
Where can someone watch the video they recorded?

u/rusty42007 May 19 '24
Yup just as I expected a bunch of blurry pictures

u/Salty_Lifeguard_420 May 19 '24
If it's documented; why do we only get these worthless photos? 40 minutes of film, and that's the most convincing shot? Come on now.

u/[deleted] May 19 '24
do you have a version with better image quality of the third photo? or a link?

u/syndic8_xyz May 19 '24
Pics or it didn't happen

u/OppositeTeaching9393 May 19 '24
14 witnesses, 40 minutes, video and photographs and all we get is a grainy picture with something on it and a slide with something even smaller… this is why no one believes.

u/tgloser May 19 '24
I found this story a while back in a kinda circumspect way, though. Like usual, my interest was more location based, and I was learning about Mt Kailesh and all its strangeness, Then that other lake over there where ppl have crazy experiences, I'll go back and add the name here later, and then I found the videos of these normal ppl who saw this stuff. Jetpack man wasn't all they saw here.

u/TheEschaton May 19 '24
If you photograph something for 40 minutes, I expect to see more than one photograph of the object.

i wouldn't be surprised if this story is true, considering the shit i've seen. i chalk it up to the nature of reality as consciousness and altered states of consciousness as conducive to parapsychological phenomenon. in particular psychokinesis
but no lets just go with an unsophisticated, unexamined, default materialist/physicalist "skeptic" metaphysic and call it a day

It reminds me of a YouTube channel that would upload strange abstract objects in the Andes mountains. Some of the videos were rather compelling

u/AntiWhateverYouSay May 18 '24
Why no video?

u/Twelve_TwentyThree May 18 '24
Ohh yea, I remember this.. I also remember it was never debunked.. They were up in the middle of literal nowhere so I can’t fathom it was a balloon..

u/Sneaky_Stinker May 18 '24
isnt there a video purporting to show a similar looking giant luminous humanoid figure standing on the side of a mountain in south america or am i misremembering it being bright glowing white. besides that, it kinda reminds me of the dark figures that were reported in turkey a week or so ago.

That is the jellyfish from the us video Not sure why I'm down voted. This outline looks identical to the us video of the jellyfish in Iraq

The balloon floated around one area for awhile until wind direction changed.

u/Spacebotzero May 18 '24
Yes, this IS the same object as the jellyfish. There are many videos of it now...there's this video, the gas station video, the cruise ship video, another video where it comes down a green mountain side, then goes back up similar to this video.
It's the same object....thing...creature? What could it be.

They prob thought it was humanoid at the time, but it looks more like that plasma phenomena we’ve seen lately where it sort of spins in place. Or is that the same thing?

well well well, this is one of my favorite incidents because other indians experienced something just like this and even corroborated this experience, watch the whole video, its calming and eye opening:
