UFO Wave Over the Philippines (1979)
by Ahmad Jamaludin

April 19, 1979. More than 100 people—including police officers—sighted a UFO just before dawn on April 19 in Talisay, Negros Occidental Province, 390 miles south of Manila. The object was flying at a low altitude—between 250 and 300 feet—and was traveling from south to north. At first, some thought it was an airplane, but then it began to glow in a spectacular display of colors: blue, green, yellow, red, and many others.
In Midsalip, residents of Zamboanga del Sur watched in amazement as a procession of UFO formations flew low over Mount Pan de Azucar. Often, the objects vanished just as quickly as they had suddenly appeared.
A few days earlier, the activity had centered on two communities in the central Philippines, dazzling residents and catching the attention of the military. The Director of the Philippine Astronomical, Geophysical, and Atmospheric Services maintained a reserved stance, refraining from passing judgment on the spate of sightings.
Meanwhile, in Talisay, motorists spotted a UFO hovering over a sugar mill. At 4:20 a.m., police officers left their station to join the onlookers. According to witnesses, they saw a flame shoot out from the object's "belly." Subsequently, the disc-shaped object began to change colors, releasing identical—yet smaller—UFOs that adopted a V-formation and sped off toward Mount Silay, led by the "mothership." Reports were received regarding a landing somewhere in the Carapale Valley.
