Balloon-type white object spotted over Andamans in 2022
However, the intent or the origin of the balloon-type object was not clear.
Almost a year ago, the Indian defence forces had witnessed objects similar to the alleged Chinese 'spy balloon' busted by the American Air Force in the skies over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands territories. However, unlike the Americans, no action was taken as the origin and the intent or origin of the balloon-type object were not clear.
"Quite some time back, we had witnessed the balloon-type white object over the Andamans and high-resolution pics of the object were taken by our people from ground," defence officials told ANI.

However, the intent or the origin of the balloon-type object was not clear. It was also not clear whether it had come from Myanmar or China but it moved away from there after three to four days, they said.
At that time, it was also felt that it could have been a meteorological balloon as many such balloons come over India from the Pakistan side too due to winds, they said.
Balloon-type objects in the sky could be a variety of things, including weather balloons, advertising balloons, hobbyist balloons, or even drones that are designed to look like balloons. Without more information or context, it's difficult to determine exactly what the objects are.
Weather balloons are often used by meteorologists to measure atmospheric conditions, while advertising balloons are used to promote products or events. Hobbyist balloons are often small and are used for recreational purposes, such as model hot air balloons or party balloons released into the sky.
Drones that are designed to look like balloons can also be used for various purposes, such as surveillance or reconnaissance.
