- Out of 80 people, 65 were found to have suffered physical
injuries and there were three who tried to overpower the ETB. "All
the three had suffered hundreds of scars, as if caused by a blade, on the
palm and it was inexplicable by any team member."

- LUCKNOW - With five visuals
of what is feared as the muhnochwa `trapped' on video tapes -- three of
which were recorded by the team of intelligence sleuths in the state --
the scare does not seem to be unfounded. The sleuths who had worked on
muhnochwa do not rule out the possibility of the presence of an extra-terrestrial
body (ETB) with electro-magnetic (EM) effect in at least three per cent
of the cases. While the Indian agencies were yet to admit the presence
of ETB, foreign research agencies, intelligence reports said, have already
been to the affected areas, met the victims and collected necessary data.
-
- Sources said that after going through the video tape
provided by the wife of a lawyer in Mirzapur and another frame recorded
by a resident in Sitapur, which had a flash of light speeding through one
end of the lens to another within a second, an intelligence team reached
Sitapur on August 7 and set up a an indigenously-designed observatory.
-
- A base of a mixer grinder was fitted with lights of the
colours that the victims had narrated before the team varying from orange,
yellow, green to the most common red and blue combination. The apparatus
was put at a height in total darkness. The idea behind the exercise was
that the extra-terrestrial body may take note of something resembling it
and might come near it. And it did. At 1:05 am a flash of light neared
the apparatus. "It was like the photocopier top plate with that sharp
light while taking impressions," revealed a member of the team while
drawing a parallel.
-
- The team, comprising forensic experts, serologists, medico-legal
experts, electronic engineers and physicists equipped with night vision
devices, zero light video cameras and telescopes apart from other gadgetry,
was witness to the "light" which was seen thrice. It descended
close to the handmade muhnochwa and then disappeared. The video clipping
has a flash of light running across the screen but nothing more.
-
- The team of experts also conducted a study by filling
up a questionnaire on the basis of the experience of the victims from Mirzapur,
Bhadohi, Varanasi, Jaunpur, Sitapur, Hardoi, Bara Banki, Rae Bareli, Lucknow
and Sitapur. Out of a sample study of 100 injured victims, 10 were found
to be victims of an insect bite or scratch. Another 10 suffered the injuries
indirectly (like bruises while running after a scare in the night). The
remaining had one or more of the following four common factors: Experiencing
electric shock, seeing sharp light, feeling hard oval object.
-
- Out of 80 people, 65 were found to have suffered physical
injuries and there were three who tried to overpower the ETB. "All
the three had suffered hundreds of scars, as if caused by a blade, on the
palm and it was inexplicable by any team member," said an expert who
examined the injuries adding that this was what raised possibilities of
an ETB being out there. But there is still a long way to go before these
experts could come up with anything conclusive on the muhnochwa scare.
-
- However, Dr NK Mehrotra, professor, department of physics
at Lucknow University, said that such possibilities were remote. Similar
views were aired by his colleague Professor Chaman Mehrotra. "It may
be out of atmospheric changes that such things might have occured and then
someone might have added a dimension of mischief to it by putting up a
man-made thing in the air," he said. Managar ISTRAC, a unit of ISRO,
CD Sharma too expressed his doubts over possibilities of an ETB. "I
do not knwo what type of a study has been conducted and what were the findings
but with what I have gathered from the media reports, the ETB theory remains
unconvincing," he said talking to Times News Network.
