Incident At Las Piñas - Story #3
[Original headline: UN team wants more data on ‘saucers’] 
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 toexplain 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 thedancing balls of light moved, what the conditions were at the time, and if he or hisneighbors were feeling anything unusual when they saw thelights."It would be interesting if we gather more data, talk to theneighbors who witnessed it, and find out if residents of other neighboring places in Metro Manila were able to see them," Chusaid.The scientists inspected Israel’s home, Israel said,particularly the spot where he stood when he filmed the lights, suspected to beextraterrestrial spaceships by those who saw them.They also inspected Israel’s neighborhood and nearby streets to see if the lightswere caused by anything on the ground.They asked him anything unusual happened like malfunctioningelectrical or mechanical gadgets or appliances at the time of the UFOsighting.They were at a loss for words after viewing the video. "Maybeone can’t really say when given just that footage to look at," onescientist told the STAR when asked if the lights were indeed alienspacecraft.Chu and her team, in town to study the Philippines’ disaster preparedness, said photos of the UFOs which appeared in the STARon 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 betweenstrange environmental events and disasters taking place where the phenomenaoccurred.Experts from the Philippine weather bureau were likewise stumped by the videofootage. Israel said he and his neighbors who saw the spectacle were convinced thatthe lights were alien spacecraft.• Story originally published in •The Philippines Star | by :Rainier Allan Ronda - September 29 2000

Incident At Las Piñas - Story #2
[Original headline: ‘Saucer’ footage stumps authorities ] 
Authorities couldn’t agree yesterday on the nature of the saucer-shaped flyingobjects caught on video by a Las Piñas resident.Air traffic controllers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City saidyesterday they have previously seen the "small balls of fire" which Las Piñas residentAntonio Israel said he was able to capture on video.But officials of the Manila Observatory at the Ateneo de Manila University in Que-zon City said their telescope was not able to monitor what are believed to beunidentified flying objects (UFOs) on Sept. 3, the night an entire neighborhood in LasPiñas was all astir because of the phenomenon.Las Piñas resident Antonio Israel fears authorities maydismiss as mere "planetary illusions" the disc-like objects he hadrecorded on 40 minutes of video tape, which he said he and hisneighbors had seen with their own eyes.An air traffic controller, who requestedanonymity, told The STAR yesterday that they see"every now and then" those "red balls of fire," but that they were merelysatellites or heavenly bodies."Yes, we have seen them before," he said.He was on duty the night Israel said he saw the "small balls of firedancing frenetically in the evening sky," but added that they had notbothered to log the "sightings of unidentified flying objects" nor talkedabout them because they were not considered significant.However, the air traffic controller said he was not competent to declare whether or not the "small balls of fire" that Israel had captured on film were UFOs.He suggested that Israel’s video footage be brought to an astronomer for analysis, particularly to the University of the Philippines Observatory in Diliman, QuezonCity.Assistant Secretary Jacinto Ortega Jr., Air Transportation Office (ATO) director,told The STAR yesterday he will ask the air traffic controllers if they have seen the"glowing, dancing, flying objects," and whether they have submitted a report to hisoffice."I have not received a report on the so-called ‘flying objects’ from our air controllers," he said.Ortega said the air traffic controllers, who were on duty on the night of Sept. 3,did not find "anything significant" with the "red balls of light which at times turned whiteand yellow, moved around and danced" in the sky."There are too many things that can be seen in the evening sky," he said.On the other hand, Fr. Victor Badillo, member of the Manila Observatory’s upper atmospheric observation office, told The STAR yesterday their telescope was designedto monitor planetary bodies in outer space.Badillo said the Manila Observatory could not have detected any UFO whichmight have appeared in the sky over Las Piñas on Sept. 3 as these would have beenwithin the earth’s atmosphere.

Badillo said he doubts if the ATO has the equipment or the technical capability todetect or record the appearances of any UFO as in the case of the "incident" in LasPiñas."Actually, all over the world, such instances of mysterious objects appearing inthe sky and being recorded on camera has already been reported before," he said. "Theproblem is how to explain it."Badillo said the UFO investigating team of the Philippine Atmospheric,Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration, led by Elmor Escosa, is themost authoritative body which could determine the authenticity of Israel’s footage.Badillo said Escosa has been studying for a long time all reported UFO sightingsin the country and abroad, and that he is the most knowledgeable in the field.But Escosa told The STAR yesterday his team was not able to make a "thoroughinvestigation" of Israel’s video tape because the businessman does not want to entrustthe tape to them.In an interview with The STAR the other day, Israel said he was keeping the film"for the time being to ensure its security and exclusivity."Israel said he had not yet shown the public several minutes of the video tape,which may indisputably prove "the balls of fire" were actually alien space ships."I’m still waiting for the right time to show them," he said.• Story originally published in •The Philippines Star | By Rey Arquiza, Rainier Allan Ronda - September 21 2000
