Unable to identify unidentified flying objects (UFOs) seen in the evening sky over
Las Piñas last Sept. 3, scientists from the United Nations (UN) want more data to
explain the sighting.
Last Friday night, the seven-member team led by Dr. Jean Chu viewed a 40-
minute video of the phenomenon taken by Antonio Israel.
During the screening, they fired a barrage of questions at Israel like how the
dancing balls of light moved, what the conditions were at the time, and if he or his
neighbors were feeling anything unusual when they saw the
lights.
"It would be interesting if we gather more data, talk to the
neighbors who witnessed it, and find out if residents of other
neighboring places in Metro Manila were able to see them," Chu
said.
The scientists inspected Israel’s home, Israel said,
particularly the spot where he stood when he filmed the lights, suspected to be
extraterrestrial spaceships by those who saw them.
They also inspected Israel’s neighborhood and nearby streets to see if the lights
were caused by anything on the ground.
They asked him anything unusual happened like malfunctioning
electrical or mechanical gadgets or appliances at the time of the UFO
sighting.
They were at a loss for words after viewing the video. "Maybe
one can’t really say when given just that footage to look at," one
scientist told the STAR when asked if the lights were indeed alien
spacecraft.
Chu and her team, in town to study the Philippines’ disaster
preparedness, said photos of the UFOs which appeared in the STAR
on Sept. 20 piqued their interest.
Chu stressed that their visit to Israel’s home was a private one.
She told him that their field of study also delved into the connection between
strange environmental events and disasters taking place where the phenomena
occurred.
Experts from the Philippine weather bureau were likewise stumped by the video
footage. Israel said he and his neighbors who saw the spectacle were convinced that
the lights were alien spacecraft.

Incident At Las Piñas - Story #2
[Original headline: ‘Saucer’ footage stumps authorities ]
****************
A businessman was able to film what he claims were unidentified flying objects
(UFOs) hovering in the sky over his neighborhood in Silver Street, Carmela Homes IV in
Las Piñas last Sept. 3.
Antonio Israel, 37, told The STAR yesterday he was able to capture on video
"small balls of light dancing frenetically in the evening sky."
Israel said the 40-minute footage showed "at times one, three and up to 12 balls
(of light) bouncing in the clear night," and the "show" gave him and his neighbors a
"visual treat."
Israel said he had just awakened in his small office near his home at around 7:30
p.m. last Sept. 3, when he looked up the sky to "gauge the weather" and "two odd-
looking stars or big red circles" caught his attention.
The "red balls of light, which at times turned to white and yellow, moved around
and danced" in the evening sky, he added.
Israel said he immediately grabbed his handycam and ran out of the house to
film the "event" as his neighbors yelled excitedly while pointing at the UFOs.
The shouts of Israel’s neighbors could be heard in the background of the video
footage as the sight of UFOs made them gasp in awe and disbelief.

Israel told The STAR that the UFOs were also seen by residents of nearby
barangays in Las Piñas, and possibly people living in Parañaque City.
To prove the film’s authenticity, Israel said he had shown it to a team of UFO
investigators from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services
Administration (PAGASA), led by Elmor Escosa.
Escosa told The STAR in a telephone interview they have already watched the
footage, but he refused to comment on it’s authenticity until they have made a "thorough
examination" of the video tape.
Escosa said his team had already talked with Israel and his neighbors who
vouched that the film is genuine and that they had seen the UFO with their own eyes.
Escosa said they have not yet "thoroughly examined" the footage because Israel
refused to entrust the video tape to them for study.
Israel does not also want to give The STAR a copy of the film, but allowed the
paper to take snapshots from the video footage.
Israel said his reason for keeping the video tape is to ensure its "safety and
exclusivity" and hopes that a scientific institution, either local or foreign, takes interest in
the film so it can be studied further.
Israel said it was an experience in itself watching the UFOs move in the sky, and
that it was an experience of a lifetime for him and his neighbors.
"I think those balls of light were really UFOs," he said. "Some people may
dismiss our claims as just a fruit of a fertile imagination but my footage will prove them
wrong."
