2004 Las Piñas, Philippines UFO incident
More than 10
UFOs were seen in Las Piñas at around 7 p.m. Saturday, August 28, 2004. Three
children noticed two unusual reddish-etheric glares moving above some partly
cloudy skies from their residence in Mabolo St., Verdant Acres, Pamplona, Las
Piñas City.
The first
object they saw headed east to where the moon sits around that time. Another two
emerged and three more objects appeared from the western horizon. "These
unusual objects could not be mere airplanes because two of them were already
pretty close to the moon," exclaimed 11-year-old Nica Canarias as she
apparently had the impression that the objects were heading to the moon.
Nica, the
eldest in the Canarias siblings and one of the early witnesses, immediately
called her nine-year-old friend Adrian Israel. Adrian - whom the Canarias knew
as a UFO experiencer is the son of Antonio (Tony) Israel, who took video
footage of UFOs above the Las Piñas skies back on September 3, 2000.
Adrian
confirmed that these objects were similar to those he saw four years ago. So he
rushed back to his house and prompted his older brothers, who then told their
father Tony.
Tony rushed
outside with his video camera. He was joined by his neighbors who watched while
the objects moved erratically, jerking, floating and jumping in various
directions.
From 7:30 to
8:15pm, Israel was shooting videos of at least five UFOs - each emerging from
the horizon at time intervals of approximately eight minutes.
Israel told
ABS-CBN that he was now more composed in aiming his video camera at the
subjects compared to his first encounter. He added, "I learned a big
lesson from the previous investigations made by the PAGASA UFO Investigating
Team (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services
Administration) and from criticisms telling that in my first UFO encounter, the
video lacked panning that’s why there was no referential point to approximate
size and distance. So from this chance, I think I panned well-enough and a
probable estimation of the objects' altitude and size could be
established."
