The closed airport
Lights were closing airports in Asia long before Europe: Hangzhou in 2010 and Imphal in 2023, with Gimhae and Taiwan's CCK in 2026 following Europe's wave of 2025. Over the same years the official word changed from "unidentified flying object" to "drone".
The voices it opens with
Before UAP Trail says a word, the video lets others speak. Each clip is linked at its second in the video.
An unidentified flying object was seen near the Imphal airfield just above the ATC Tower.
The claim, in UAP Trail’s words
“Airport closures started in Asia, and the word for what closed them moved from "UFO" to "drone".”
