PUTRAJAYA, June 7 — The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (Mosti) has initiated a monitoring operation following reports of a mysterious bright light sighted in Sabah’s airspace earlier this week.
In a statement today, the ministry confirmed that its Space Regulatory Authority Division (BPAngkasa) has received preliminary information regarding the phenomenon, which was reportedly observed by members of the public on the night of June 4.
Despite the sighting, the ministry clarified that there have been no official reports of debris, such as fragments from a rocket or other space objects, being discovered on land or in Malaysian waters.
“Active monitoring is currently being carried out by BPAngkasa in cooperation with relevant agencies,” the statement read.
Mosti reminded the public to exercise caution and advised against touching or handling any suspicious objects found in the area.
Instead, citizens are urged to report such findings immediately to the authorities via the 999 emergency line.
Reports can also be made directly to BPAngkasa at 03-8885 8685 or via email at [email protected].
The ministry further cautioned the public against engaging in speculation that could cause unnecessary alarm, stressing that accurate information should only be sought through official government channels.
