- Now it can be told.
-
- A team from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and
Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has admitted actively participating
in the investigation of what is known as close encounters of the third
kind.
-
- UFOs or unidentified flying objects, in particular.
-
- Elmer Escosia, team leader, said they opted to reveal
what they have learned so far instead of keeping the files to themselves.
-
- "Our files and records are open to the public so
anyone can read our reports, if they like," Escosia told THE MANILA
TIMES.
-
- The team, he said, is composed of eight members under
PAGASA's astronomy division, which was assigned to investigate UFO sightings
in the country.
-
- According to Escosia, they were able to explain most
of the UFO sightings from all over the country which were reported to PAGASA.
-
- But until now, he admitted, they were stumped and found
no logical explanation for three such sightings.
-
- The first was in 1984, or 16 years ago, when children
insisted that they saw "bulbous-headed non-human beings" alight
from a large disc-shaped "spacecraft" which landed in Ormoc City
in Southern Leyte.
-
- It was impossible not to believe the children's testimonies
since they gave the same descriptions, Escosia said.
-
- He added they sent the description of the "aliens"
to their counterparts in the US who appeared to be similarly stumped.
-
- The two other inexplicable sightings were in Las Piñas
and Muntinlupa City-in 1997 and the latest on May 10 this year.
-
- In l997, Escosia said, at least 40 people reported that
they saw 13 odd-shaped flying objects that were clearly visible in the
following subdivisions: Uranium St., Pilar Village, Las Piñas; Dona
Josefa, also in Las Piñas; and Heroes Hill, Muntinlupa.
-
- The eyewitnesses described the UFOs as transparent and
hollow at the middle, closely resembling a school of jellyfish minus their
tentacles
