What was the unidentified flying object that caused a stir at Gimhae Airport?

On the August 1 broadcast of SBS "Unanswered Questions", the show tracked down an unidentified flying object that appeared at Gimhae Airport last May.

On May 19, a flight scheduled to depart from Nagoya, Japan and arrive at Gimhae Airport in Busan around 9:30 PM suddenly headed to Incheon Airport.

After an incomprehensible commotion that included a complete ban on aircraft takeoffs and landings and the closure of the runways at Gimhae Airport, the passenger plane headed to Incheon Airport.

Passengers, who received no clear explanation for the sudden diversion, ended up taking 10 hours to reach a destination that should have taken an hour and a half.

A tip-off from someone who was serving in the military base inside the airport at the time stated that they witnessed a strange light passing over the barracks. They reported that three green lights were moving in formation at a height equivalent to about The Apartment Job 10th floor.

Gimhae Airport was a no-fly zone for aviation security and a place with heightened sensitivity to security as the Air Force was also stationed there.

Consequently, the Air Force and police searched for the flying object. However, they ultimately failed to identify the unknown flying object and concluded the incident as a hapenning where lights were mistaken for a craft.

However, another informant revealed internal military base radio communications from the time, stating that even the command leadership was mobilized to chase the flying object. Despite this, the elusive flying object disappeared for two hours, and its identity was never identified.

Last May, U.S. President Trump released footage of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) collected by the U.S. across the globe over the past 80 years. Amidst the rising interest in unidentified flying objects, what on earth was the identity of the object spotted at Gimhae Airport?

With various possibilities raised, an expert pointed out, "As we only emphasize the threat from North Korea, there is a lack of will or interest on our part to respond to unknown threats and unidentified threats. Countries abroad are already paying attention to non-military threats and broad security threats," emphasizing the need for attention toward various unmanned aerial vehicles.

The expert also drew attention by raising their voice to say, "We need a shift in perception to view various unmanned aerial vehicles not merely as a matter of interest, but as a serious threat at the national security level."
