Because of the face-off in Ladakh previously, the border between China and India is under tension. India claimed many times that the Chinese army and military helicopters "infringed" its territory and airspace.
Indian security forces have frequently seen an unknown "yellow ball" in Ladakh since the end of last year. The Indian army suspects that it was some sort of automatic spy drone from China. In the frontier meeting between China and India, India was trying to tackle China on this issue, but China denied all the accusations. An officer revealed anonymously that China even suggested India to "shoot the unknown yellow ball down." But that same officer also doubted the feasibility of that action because the object was too high to be reached by any weapons.
After that, India started implementing tests by using everything its army offered. Even the Department of Interior and the Ministry of National Defense joined a special working group in Ladakh. The army utilized radar and optical spectrum analyzers to analyze the object. But India couldn't figure out what it was, which led researchers to admit that they cannot identify the object, even after using all their high-tech equipment.
At last, the army had to ask astrophysicists for help. The answer comes out that the unknown objectives are just Jupiter and Venus.
