The frenzy is centered primarily around a development project by SUYUG Infra in South-East Bangalore. On Friday morning, residents woke up to find the construction site transformed into a restricted zone, heavily cordoned off with police barricades and caution tape.
The Timeline of the "Sarjapur Sightings"
According to eyewitness accounts and digital footprints, the activity began in the early hours of January 9, 2026. Between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m., residents reported a "bright, slow-moving object" that defied the typical blinking patterns of commercial aircraft or drones.
The momentum shifted from speculation to a formal inquiry today when SUYUG Infra released a 10-second clip from their on-site security cameras on their official Instagram. The footage reportedly shows the object descending momentarily over the Sarjapur site at 3:02 a.m. on 9th January, 2026, before landing on a field near the site.
Official Response from SUYUG Infra
As rumors regarding the builder’s involvement or potential "secret testing" began to circulate, SUYUG Infra issued a formal statement via their Instagram handle to address growing public concern.
"Local authorities and aviation monitors have since acknowledged the recording and commenced a joint technical assessment to determine the object's origin and trajectory," the company stated. "The SUYUG site has been cordoned off to facilitate ongoing analysis and to ensure the safety of personnel in the vicinity."
The developer confirmed they have handed over the unedited ten-second footage to investigators and are cooperating fully with aviation monitors.
Locals Demand Answers
Despite the call for calm, the atmosphere in Sarjapur remains tense. Crowds have gathered near the barricaded perimeter, and the "UFO" tag has been trending across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
"We saw a light that was too silent to be a helicopter and too maneuverable to be a plane," said one resident from a nearby gated community. "The fact that they’ve cordoned off the SUYUG site makes us think there’s more to this than just a weather balloon."
Investigation Underway
While aviation experts have not yet ruled out high-altitude drones or atmospheric phenomena, the joint technical assessment is expected to look into:
1. Radar Data: Cross-referencing civilian and military radar logs from the 1:00 a.m.–3:00 a.m. window.
2. Forensic Video Analysis: Authenticating the viral CCTV footage for any signs of digital tampering.
3. On-Site Samples: Checking the cordoned area for any physical or electromagnetic signatures.
Authorities have urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified clips that could lead to panic. For now, the "Sarjapur UFO" remains an unexplained chapter in Bengaluru’s urban lore.
